We visited Inverness in Scotland in January. We can verify everything you've suspected about windy and rainy Scotland, but in January it's even more fun because it's freezing too. On the plus side, we did have most of the tourist attractions to ourselves. However, we were not as keen to leave the comfort of our warm and dry Airbnb to go and venture out to see some of the natural landscapes.

The North Coast 500 is the magical route around the Highlands of Scotland. This journey begins in Inverness, known as the gateway to the Highlands. We will drive to the West coast of Scotland, with the opportunity to include the Isle of Skye if you have some extra time. Then, we drive clockwise along the coast, taking in waterfalls, lochs, beaches, and the rolling hills of Scotland. While driving the NC500, you will see the highlights of the route, with many opportunities for hikes, walks along the beach, and castles. As you drive you will be presented with scenic vistas of the rugged Scottish Highlands, whose views are known worldwide and are the real reason this route is so popular. You are encouraged to stop often at scenic points along the way to fully appreciate your surroundings. This guide will include a full itinerary for an 11 day trip. It can be cut down to 9 days if you remove the Isle of Skye. If you don't do all the activities, you could potentially cut down some more time, but I have tried to limit driving to under 3 hours a day. This guide also includes suggestions on where to stay and where to eat dinner for each night of the trip. Estimated budget of this trip based on 2 people sharing a room: Accommodation (usually including a full breakfast) at an average £130 a night = £1,300 Dinner at an average £40 pp = £800 Car rental c. £40 per day = £440 Fuel for c. 830 miles at 148.5p = £1,235 Other (entry prices, parking) = £200 Total = £3,975 The food budget in particular in subject to where you go and what you order. This also doesn't include prices for lunch. Accommodation prices could also be reduced by staying in hostels rather than hotels/ B&Bs. Car rental prices were found on Kayak comparable site - these are variable.

Un véritable coup de cœur ! Édimbourg, la capitale de l'Écosse, est une ville au charme unique, mêlant histoire, culture et modernité. Connue pour son architecture médiévale impressionnante et ses rues pavées pittoresques, elle offre une atmosphère à la fois majestueuse et accueillante. Dominée par son célèbre château, perché sur un rocher volcanique, Édimbourg regorge de monuments historiques, de musées fascinants et de paysages naturels époustouflants, comme Arthur's Seat, une ancienne colline volcanique offrant une vue panoramique sur la ville. Ses quartiers contrastés, du Royal Mile historique à la nouvelle ville géorgienne élégante, témoignent de la riche histoire de la ville, tout en offrant une scène gastronomique et artistique florissante. J'ai eu la possibilité d'admirer la beauté d'Édimbourg à deux reprises. Lors d'un citytrip en mode solo et, ensuite, lors de mon train trip en Écosse où j'ai clôturé mon voyage dans la capitale. Lors de mes deux voyages, j'ai pris la décision de ne pas louer de voiture parce que : 1. J'aime pas conduire de nuit (je suis partie les deux fois en hiver) ; 2. Je suis couillonne de conduire à gauche ; 3. Je suis stressée des routes étroites (alors que j'ai roulé sur des routes de montagne en Crète). J'ai donc choisi l'agence Rabbie's (https://www.rabbies.com) pour faire trois excursions d'une journée : - Au départ d'Édimbourg : Loch Lomond National Park, Kelpies & Stirling Castle - Au départ d'Inverness : Skye & Eilean Donan Castle & The Complete Loch Ness Experience ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ A real crush ! Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, is a city of unique charm, combining history, culture and modernity. Known for its impressive medieval architecture and picturesque cobbled streets, it has a majestic yet welcoming atmosphere. Dominated by its famous castle, perched on a volcanic rock, Edinburgh is full of historic monuments, fascinating museums and breathtaking natural landscapes, such as Arthur's Seat, an ancient volcanic hill offering panoramic views over the city. Its contrasting neighbourhoods, from the historic Royal Mile to the stylish Georgian New Town, reflect the city's rich history, while offering a thriving food and arts scene. I had the opportunity to admire Edinburgh's beauty on two occasions. On a solo citytrip and then on my train trip to Scotland, where I ended my trip in the capital. On my two trips, I decided not to hire a car because: 1. I don't like driving at night (I went both times in winter); 2. I'm a coward for driving on the left; 3. I'm stressed about narrow roads (even though I've driven on mountain roads in Crete). So I chose Rabbie's (https://www.rabbies.com) for three day trips: - From Edinburgh: Loch Lomond National Park, Kelpies & Stirling Castle - From Inverness: Skye & Eilean Donan Castle & The Complete Loch Ness Experience

As a teenager, I visited Scotland for a few days, and that in addition to Outlander binge watching ended up with me moving to Edinburgh next year. I spent a few years living there and falling more and more in love with the country. The only problem was that it was my university years which meant a tight budget but still the need to explore. So this guide is a summary of a few years of budget travel in Scotland and what I think it's the best compromise between budget and exploring everything this magical country has to offer. ⛰️ This guide will help you plan your perfect Scotland trip - on a budget and without a car. The base of this trip is a loop which you can start in either Glasgow or Edinburgh and which will take you 8 days. Then, at every stop, I'll give you some day trip options so that you can extend your trip depending on what you want to see and how much time you have. If you go for all-day trips this full itinerary will take 17 days. 💷 I'll give you a full breakdown of the cost. The basic loop will require around 210£ for all transport and accommodation. I'll provide you with a spreadsheet that breaks down each cost and each day trip so you can also plan and adjust your trip according to your budget. I'll also share with you accommodation recommendations and a breakdown of all the buses/trains you'd need to take.
