Scotland trip - 1000km in 5 days
I just came back from an awesome trip to Scotland and want to share with you some places that you must not miss when you go for vacation there!
Arrival
We arrived at Edinburgh airport at night and took the night bus to our hostel which we booked in advance. The next day we picked up our rental car at Hertz to start our round trip:
First stop: Loch Ness
After 3,5 hours driving we stopped at the famous Loch Ness (Dores).
Even though we didn't see Nessie we had a very pleasent stay at the lake and we went for a walk in a forest.
Second stop: Isle of Skye
This isle is the absolutely most impressing area of Scotland! You can see there any kind of landscape which exists in the whole country: mountains, valleys, lakes, cliffs, beaches, waterfalls, rivers and large green areas! We stayed there for one night at a nice B&B of a very kind old lady in Kyleakin.Loch Coruisk
On the first day we drove by car to Elgol where we started a boat trip to Loch Coruisk, a lake on Isle of Skye which cannot be reached by car.
On the way we saw some seals chilling on some rocks in the sea:
The boatman told us that you also could see dolphins here but sadly we didn't see any. When we arrived at the shore we had one hour for us to discover Loch Coruisk and the landskape around it.
The whole boat trip took us ca. 2,5 hours and we paid £ 22,5 per person and it is worth every penny!
Old man of Storr
On the second day we decided to go hiking to one of the most popular sights at Skye. The hiking tour was the most fascinating part of our Scotland trip! The landscape cannot be described in words.. it was stunningly beautiful!!
**Tip:** When you arrived at the boulder of *Old man of Storr* go a bit further on the hiking trail, around the next mountain, maybe 30-45 minutes and you will have the best view on the Highlands:
Third stop: Fort William
Actually we wanted to visit Fort William/Glencoe as next stop but we didn't find an accomodation so we continued driving towards Glasgow. Between Loch Lomond and Glencoe we got free rooms at The Tyndrum Inn where we had a very pleasent stay.Fourth stop: Glasgow
We parked our car in the city centre and explored Glasgow on foot. It is a nice city but after the outstading impressions at Skye we were not too impressed ;)
Fifth and last stop: Edinburgh
After we spent some hours in Glasgow we travelled back to Edinburgh and returned our car at the car rental. Because the weather was really good we walked through the amazing streets of Edinburgh, listened to many many street musicians and visited some shops.
On our last day we had to leave our hostel until 10 a.m. and because our flight was in the evening we locked our luggage at the Edinburgh Bus Station (£ 8) and discovered the city a bit more. We took part at a really amusing walking tour (adult themed) with tour guide, Justin, who told us a bit about Edinburgh's history in a very entertaining way :D
Great post! Thanks for posting.

Wow, da habt ihr ja echt eine ganz schöne Tour in der kurzen Zeit gemacht (:
Die 'Isle of Skye' hast du dabei natürlich am schmackhaftesten präsentiert!
Schade, dass du den Blog nicht auch im deutschen Bereich hast, denn dort bekommst du vielleicht sogar am Anfang noch etwas mehr Unterstützung (:
Achja kleiner Tipp, wenn du Bilder einfügst, dann darfst du davor keine Sonderzeichen haben, also schau dir deinen Beitrag nochmal an, editiere ihn und mach vor ein paar der Bilder mal noch eine Leerzeile, bzw. einen Zeilenumbruch, denn sonst werden die nicht angezeigt (:
Willkommen zurück im kalten und verregnenten Bayern^^
War zeitlich sehr knapp aber hat sich auf jeden Fall gelohnt! :)
Skye war auch am besten :D Da werd ich auch nochmal hinfahren und ein paar Touren gehen!
Ok, den nächsten Post mach ich auf deutsch ;D
Danke!! Wär schon fast verzweifelt wegen den Bildern...^^ Jetzt sollte alles passen :)
Ab morgen wirds ja hoffentlich wieder besser :)
Ja jetzt sieht es auf jeden Fall schon viel besser aus (:
Du kannst ruhig dein Glück auf englisch versuchen, du solltest eben nur deine Erwartungen und deine Frustrationsgrenze daran anpassen^^
Pünktlich zu meinem Urlaubsbeginn, sehr gut :D
:)
Alles klar, wenn ich genug Zeit hab, mach ichs auch zweisprachig :D
