Travel Blogs from Scottish Highlands, United Kingdom
Haggis, Whisky and Nessie... it must be Scotland!
This is a top pick! ... many Scots (it is estimated to be in the vicinity of 1500-2000) and with this ended the Jacobite rebellion. Our final day in the highlands saw us head back down to the Loch Ness for some photos and the hope we might catch a glimpse of the illusive Nessie. ...
I'll Take The High Road
This is a top pick! ... couldn't help myself from singing "I'll take the high road, and you'll take the low road...." I took the bus up through the Highlands and stopped first in Loch Lochy and hiked all around there. I came across a big cat and said to myself, wow a bobcat! ...
Ski Fields
This is a top pick! ... and free accommodation was too much to resist! shame about the snow hey guys..! Fort William is a sweet little town in the Scottish Highlands. On our last trip to Scotland we had stopped here by accident (if I remember rightly it was me demanding ...
A haunted Castle
This is a top pick! With no idea of what we wanted to do for this trip, who ever wasn't driving would have a look at the lonely planet, or a random brochure we picked up and say "Hey, lets go there". It was this way in which Tracey hit upon the Haunted Castle. Not only ...
First day in Inverness
This is a top pick! We arrived in town at around 2:00pm, June 1, and got settled into our hostel (which was right beside the bus station). We spent the rest of the day just chilling in the t.v. room. We did go on a free walking tour of the city centre of Inverness at ...
Long Lost Twins
This is a top pick! After we left Judy and David's house in Bearsden (again thank you both for your kind hospitality) we decided as we didn't have time to look around Glasgow we would drive through the town centre then head north. That was a bad idea! Trying to find our way ...
The Scottish Highlands
This is a top pick! ... and I took off in a little Audi sports car he borrowed from his buddy to do an all day driving loop through the Scottish Highlands and burn a couple tanks of gas on the twisty back roads. And at $8 dollars a gallon, I say ...
The Queens Not Home (Loch Ness to Stirling)
This is a top pick! Loch Ness, being one of the most famous landmarks in Scotland brings with it a certain amount of expectation.To put it plainly, it was underwhelming. Loch Ness wasn't as big as I had imagined and over the past week I had seen some incredible Lochs, that ...
A happy, slightly soggy, highland fling
This is a top pick! ... our plan of attack would take us through the soggiest part of the country - up the west coast and then crossing the highlands to the east. Pulsing blue blobs indicating very heavy rain systems obscured the route on BBC weather forecasts and it didn't ...
Nessie
This is a top pick! A visit to Loch Ness prompted much craziness. "Nesssssiee" was often said, in a Mr Freer (or heavy and bad Scottish) accent. Poses of us as Nessie, and fake pictures of Nessie (they were birds), discussions of HOW to get the best fake Nessie picture, ...
Loch Ness
This is a top pick! Inverness to Edinbrough was a good drive with a slight deviation to Loch Ness to find out all about this monster. As Paula said "There's no monster in the Loch but there're plenty in this hoose". Lou says "The more you drink, the more likely you are to ...
Wandering in Inverness and Highland Hiking!
This is a top pick! June 3 was a relaxing day of simply walking through Inverness city centre and parks along the river Ness. It was an absolutely beautiful day and the temperature even got up to 26 degrees which is quite rare there. We ended the night with once ...
One of Those Days
This is a top pick! ... of Skye and our hostel for the night. That night we were all in bed, scratching little bites on our arms and legs. The Scottish Midges, little flying, biting bugs, had had a feed on us while we had waited for the steam train that never came. The ...
Inverness
This is a top pick! ... in 2.5 hours seems a little strange as that is how long it takes to drive to the other side of Toronto some days). The Scottish highlands are absolutely breathtaking. We barely said a word to each other as we were both just in awe staring out the ...
Inverness - Loch Ness.
This is a top pick! For our last full day in Scotland we took a 12 hour bus trip right up to Inverness and back taking in Loch Ness (no we didn't see the monster!) Urquhart Castle, and Ben Nevis the highest mountain in UK. We were slightly disappointed that the heather was ...
Scotland's Castles, A Wheel And A Mill.
This is a top pick! How delightful to see and hear English everywhere! We are in Scotland and loving the familiarity of everything. Our backpacker accommodation in Edinburgh is tucked away in a little lane way of steps and has Australian receptionists. Everyone ...
Looking for Nessie
This is a top pick! ... and Glenys were) they decided to check out this one. It was a really enjoyable evening where they watched many a Scottish marching band and numerous dancers. The highlight was the White helmets Motorcycle Display team, the Golden Lions Parachute Team ...
Billy's home town
This is a top pick! ... car [one of the very few advantages a car has over a motorbike]. We finally left Glasgow at 4pm and set off in the Scottish drizzle for Skye. It drizzled for the next 2 hours and I grudgingly admitted that a car was okay [and the weatherman says the ...
Scotland, minus the mythical monsters.
This is a top pick! I lived through a horribly motion sickness-inducing bus ride to get to Ullapool in the Scottish Highlands. This gorgeous little fishing village is worth it. Fog drifts over the mossy, rolling hills while I gaze out at the gulls and boats, absorbing the ...
In search of the rare, endangered Flying Haggis
This is a top pick! ... the offer assuming I'd never take her up on it) she offered me a couch to crash on complete with a weekend tour of the Scottish Highlands. How could I pass it up, right? Unfortunately, Jen was in London doing job training so I was forced to scramble. But ...
Family fun in Scotland
This is a top pick! Our second week at home was the turn of Brad's parents: his mum had organised a family week in a house near Aviemore. Archie (Brad's sister's eldest) also came along, representing the rest of his family who were at home awaiting the arrival ...
Fort William, Scotland
This is a top pick! ... Highland Railway steamed through its then stone built walls in 1894. In the same year Fort William was the first town in the United Kingdom to have its streets lit by electricity from a Hydro scheme. The lights would flicker and dim when the Highland ...
Taking a dip in Loch Ness
This is a top pick! ... back to the hostel at 430am-ish and had a wonderful conversation with Gus until 830am when it was time to leave for the Highlands. I can't believe how many people have been recommending that I go back up to the Highlands. So I dragged myself to the ...
My Conquest, Ben Nevis, awaits me
This is a top pick! ... inhabited by them today, as well it was the castle where Highlander was filmed. The rest of the day was spent admiring the highlands and listening to tales along the way, including the tale of the 5 sisters mountains, and the 7 heads monuments. We ...
Daniels Birthday!
So today was Daniels Birthday, well, in this part of the world. We got up around 7am and went down for breakfast, where Dan had birthday Haggis and other mediocre things at the Strathpeffer hotel. The staff were particularly eager to take your plate, ...
All the trout you can eat!
Hugging the coast of Loch Ness on our way north we saw lots and lots of gimmicky tourist traps surrounding the whole monster phenomenon. We did our best not to get roped too much but it was interesting pottering around all the little shops there. As Loch ...
The highlands!! more castles and some haggis

On the way to Skye
Today was the adventure up to the Isle of Skye yet firstly we had to try the local brew... whiskey! So first up we went to the Dalwhinnie distillery – world famous for its distillery and that's about it! Unfortunately we had just missed the ...
