We round up some of the greatest castles to see in Scotland: from the city of Edinburgh to the Isle of Skye.

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…

Campbelltown, Scotland Fancy a driving holiday? Spoil yourself, rent that dream car, book a chalet for a week and explore roads like these! Scotland has 12 National Routes for you to enjoy diverse landscapes, towns and villages. If you're planning a trip to Scotland you are going to want to check these out. For our First Anniversary Luis and I took a road trip through the highlands. It was amazing and I'd wished I was an awesome blogger to photograph and write about it all. I have very few photos of our trip. We left from Glasgow and took a few tourist routes to get up to Thurso--the Northern most point of mainland Scotland. It was amazing! We drove on tiny one lane roads {pictured above} nestled deep in the Scottish mountains. I remember coming over the crest of a hill and stopping the car to look down on hundreds of majestic deer. It was a site I won't ever forget. We just sat there for ages watching these deer. We started counting their antlers and trying to find the oldest one. We actually found an 18 point! It was all just incredible. We sat there for probably an hour. Just waiting for the deer to pass the road. We drove through small villages and big cities. Any chance we got we drove the coastal routes. There is just something about the ocean that never gets old. We passed castle after castle and saw wildlife and derelict estates just about everywhere. I would encourage anyone who is visiting Scotland to rent a car and head out on one of these routes for a few days. It is an amazing way to see this country!

A guide for those planning a trip to Scotland and looking for Isle of Skye and Scottish Highlands itinerary ideas. Spectacular landscapes, castles, mysterious lochs, waterfalls, tasty seafood dinners, and Highland coos are a few of the many treasured memories associated with our Scottish Highlands itinerary. The Highlands make up the north western part of Scotland, and designate a primarily historical divide with the Lowlands area where there were once much larger cultural and language divides. Although a huge land area, the Highlands and the northern islands of Scotland are sparsely populated, primarily rural, rugged, and full of biodiversity. This area is perfect for those looking for natural beauty and a sense of peace. We did this first trip to the Highlands and Isle of Skye with Edinburgh-based small tour operator Rabbie's Travel, and we'll share our own trip experiences and lots of photos on that tour! We'll also provide the general Scottish Highlands itinerary that we followed for those who may be thinking of putting together their own independent Scotland trip itinerary.
