The most underrated place we stopped in Scotland was easily Glencoe! On our way from Glenfinnan to Stirling, I knew we would drive through Glencoe. That was about the extent of planning I’d done! I knew there was a terrible massacre there, but I wasn’t very informed on what we were driving into. Glencoe, Scotland…
I was really looking forward to our stay near Glenfinnan for a few reasons, mainly to see the Jacobite Train in action, AKA the real Hogwarts Express! This day of our trip we left the Isle of Skye, saw Eilean Donan Castle, and made it just in the nick of time to see the train…
On our way off of the Isle of Skye, we stopped at Eilean Donan Castle! This is really easy to do on your way on or off the Isle. It’s right on the way! And it’s a really cool stop as well. My only complaint is that it was super busy, but that’s usually a sign…
If you’re like me, when you’re planning a trip you start to scour Pinterest, maybe even make a specific board like I did! Well, it’s easy to get lost in all the things you see, what’s plausible with the time you have, and what’s really worth it! That’s how I felt when I was researching…
Our third day on the Isle of Skye was a bit wetter than the others. Which made us really grateful that we came a day early! We did most of our sightseeing when it was pretty sunny and warm. We made our way down south this day and took it a lot slower than the…
Day two of our Isle of Skye Itinerary was my favorite! We packed a lot into one day and did a lot of driving. But it was well worth it. We started the day at our BnB in Dunvegan, you can read about our first day here, and got up early and got going. We didn’t get to…
First of all, have I said enough how stunning Scotland is? A road trip through this country is about all I ever dreamed of. We drove from Inverness to the Isle of Skye, a drive straight through that’s only supposed to be about three hours. Between all the stopping we did, it took at least…
Glad you enjoyed Rannoch Moor and Glencoe, but I can assure you the area is rated and loved by both native Scots and visitors alike.The “little white house” in your first pic is at the foot of Buachaille Etive Mor and is owned by the National Trust for Scotland and is maintained by the Scottish Mountaineering Club and is available for booking.
Thank you! I’ll link that house, I’ll have that on my list of where I need to stay next time we make it to Scotland!
What incredible photography, thank you. We passed through Glencoe in 2008 taking a few photos. Oh to have a drone. The valleys are stunning.
We bought our drone right before we went on our trip to Scotland! It was incredible to have! And thank you!
