I’m thinking of taking a holiday in Scotland, but frankly, I have no idea what I’d be doing there (nor have I ever been on holiday somewhere else tbh, so I’d love to do some planning beforehand). I really want to enjoy the nature and landscapes there and I’m sure there must be a few not so tourist-y gems I could plan on visiting.
I flew to Inveness and stayed in a place called Beauly then just drove around really. I drove around Loch Ness stopping at all these little castles, then took a boat trip. I went whale watching fom Gairloch, that also took use to see seabirds in the Shiant Islands and some white tailed eagles, then over to the Cairngorns.
I knew the places we went would be cool obviously, but every drive was amazing, brilliant landscapes everywhere. I had lunch in these cool little pubs on mountainsides, stopped in cute little villages, I was leaving like 2 hours to get anywhere so we could stop multiple times just to get pictures and stare.
