"Two wonderful weeks in Scotland" Scotland by himalia11

Scotland Travel Guide: 12,256 reviews and 26,491 photos

We stayed two weeks in Scotland and were impressed by its beauty. Especially the highlands were fascinating, with all the lochs and the green mountains. And there were so many castles & ruins, just great!

We started in Edinburgh, made a short excursion to the borders, visits lots of places on our way to Fort William were we had a cottage for one week and from there we were heading north and back along parts of the East coast to Edinburgh. It was very difficult to decide where to go, there was so much to see. And all places were so nice that I could have stayed there longer!
