Incredible 4 Day Scotland Road Trip Adventure: Exploring the Highlands, Castles, and Battlefields

Incredible 4 Day Scotland Road Trip Adventure: Exploring the Highlands, Castles, and Battlefields

In this video we’ll be spending 4 jam packed days completing a big loop from Glasgow, through the Scottish Highlands, around the Isle of Skye, before taking the inland route back to Edinburgh via Inverness and Stirling. You could easily stretch this trip out over 8 days and still be fairly busy. But as always, I like to take advantage of the long summer days and I enjoy being on the road for long periods of time.

    A very well shot and scripted video of Scotland and did my wee country proud. You did very well to cover the ground that you did in the short time you had. You must have been exhausted. Very useful video for others too. Nice to watch.

    Next time i recommend the south-west coastal trip (Stranraer,Turnberry,Ayr,Greenock,Glasgow) and the islands (Hebridies,Shetland/Orkney).
    Good vid mate!

    Hey, don’t do our winter down. We get about 5.5 hrs of daytime mid winter (about 9.30am to 3pm)😅!
    Total reverse in summer of course.

    Beautiful video and wonderful narration. Nice to have a tour of Scotland that’s not distillery focused. Nothing wrong with those vids, but appreciate this point of view. Hope we can make it there someday.
