Eilean Donan Castle

This itinerary is based on the research and planning I had done for my own personal road trip in Scotland. My personal itinerary was 7 days but here I extended and adapted it based on my conversations with locals and areas of Scotland I felt I needed more time! This updated itinerary is now 12-14 days (not including travel to/from Scotland), making it perfect for a 2-week Scottish road trip! This itinerary includes: ⛰️ what to see and do for EACH day of the trip 🌳 visits to BOTH of Scotland's national parks 🥾 13 hike recommendations (some from personal experience and some extra ideas from research) + AllTrails links! ⚡️ 22 cultural activity ideas (including castles, city tours, ruins, museums and filming locations) 😋 10 memorable restaurants and food recommendations to try 🚗 drive time and distance estimations (important for car rental) ✨ travel, activity and driving tips based on first-hand experience + links to official sites for activity bookings or more information! BONUS: A Budget Breakdown where I break down my ENTIRE budget for when I completed this road trip! After this particular road trip, Scotland became my favourite country I have visited so far! I hope you enjoy this trip as much as I did and fall in love with this wonderful country! And of course, feel free to adapt this itinerary to make it your own so you can have the most memorable trip possible!

The Scottish Highlands and the Hebrides islands have my heart. Spend a week exploring magical northern Scotland.

Embark on the road trip of a lifetime through the enchanting, winding roads of the Highlands to the Isle of Skye. This breath taking drive will unlock all the natural wonders of the Highlands, into the Isle, and beyond! This is truly one of the most beautiful road trips I have ever been on, one that is sure to leave you at peace and in awe of the stunning Scottish countryside! What this guide provides: 🚗 An in depth 3 night, 4 day roundtrip journey to the Isle of Skye starting and ending in Glasgow 🍽️ Great eats & drinks along the road trip to get to know the Highlands and the Isle in a very special way 🏨 Amazing accommodation recommendations ✨ Inside scoops to all my favorite places and memories made along the way I would recommend renting a car for this guide as you will be able to move more freely than on a scheduled guided tour. The Highlands and the Isle of Skye are locations that you will want to indulge in hiking and taking your time with the amazing scenery. Be sure to pack all the necessary gear to be able to hike in potentially wet or cold settings. You will not be able to enjoy yourself if you are not properly dressed for the brisk Scottish cold.
