Scotland road trip plan

  

I’ve been having a lot of fun playing around with Google Earth while planning possible options for our upcoming road-trip around Scotland. As I’ve mentioned before, it’s important for me that we leave our options open for spontaneity, but there’s nothing wrong with a basic plan… right?

We’ll have 5 days to cover a lot of ground. Each region and town that we encounter will provide a nearly infinite number of opportunities for side trips and exploration. In most cases, we’ll have time to partake in these options as time permits.. There are a few points of interest that I absolutely must see however, so there will be a few long stretches of driving to be had.

A few Highlights:

  • London to Edinburgh on Easyjet (cheaper and faster than the train)
  • Arrive in style with a 4 star B&B just south of the Royal Mile in Edinburgh
  • Hit the road and head northwest through the mountains before veering east to Speyside
  • Distillery visits in Speyside: Aberlour, Balvinie, etc as time permits
  • Mad dash to Skye via Inverness & Loch Ness.
  • Talisker Distillery on Skye.. the place that started it all for me.
  • Oban Distillery and a visit to the MacIntyre family homeland nearby in the highlands
  • Heaps of hidden Highland treasures to be explored.. staying in small town B&Bs

Here’s the proposed route.. hopefully it’ll change as we go along.
