When are you visiting? Driving?

Inverness area

• Fort George is near Inverness (near the airport)
• Tomatin Distillery
• Culloden battle site
• Black Isle Brewery - good beers (across the river from Inverness)

Fort George


Edinburgh


Edinburgh is currently stupidly busy and even worse when the festivals are on. Stirling is about 30 miles away.

• Castle is worth a look
• Edinburgh museum
• Art galleries
• Plenty of pubs and restaurants
• Camera obscura
• Hop on/off bus tour takes you to most tourist sites

Stirling and nearby

• Castle, very nice and less busy than Edinburgh
• Jail (near castle) is a good tour
• Falkirk: wheel / Kelpies / Rosebank distillery

Ordinary buses are pretty good but the route maps etc are utter shite. There is an app for Lothian Buses which helps to route plan. Buses are all contactless payment and each journey is £2 or £5 for a day. Their website is below and there should be a link to the app.

The train journey to Inverness should be nice. Scenery is stunning up that way. We are going the Jacobite Train in July and that goes from Fort William and across the Hogworts viaduct.
