If you have only 3 days in Edinburgh, here is how I suggest you divide up your time. Possibly my favorite city in all of Europe, there is plenty to do and see in Scotland's capital city. After taking my first trip to Scotland (an incredible 10 day road trip), I became hooked. I keep returning now to this magical country, and I can't seem to stop! This itinerary is helpful if you need a…
Trying to pack for a winter trip to Scotland can be tricky thanks to its unpredictable weather. With temperatures ranging from freezing to balmy, it's hard to know if you'll be warm and dry enough. You may luck out with temps in the upper/mid 40's, but it can definitely drop below freezing and get cold enough to snow. There's also about a 50-50 chance of rain each day, so be prepared!

One of my favorite travel experiences ever is my ten day road trip through Scotland. During that time, I fell in love with Edinburgh! It might even be my favorite city in all of Europe- now I just can't stop going back to visit. Happily, I found a way to get myself back to Scotland! I added time in London this time around- and brought our 3 year old along with us. We spent 3 days…
During our recent family road trip through the UK (starting in London, heading to Wales, and ending in Scotland), we spent some time in the stunning Scottish highlands of Glencoe. When it came to finding lodging, we stayed at the beautiful Isles of Glencoe Hotel. Just a short drive away to all of the main natural sights and nearby hikes, it is the perfect base for highland adventure, or even a relaxing retreat! [caption id="attachment_5777"…
