The destination of Perth and Kinross Council is in central Scotland. As with all of the council destinations there is much to see and do in Perth and Kinross. In the 2020 Scotland trip we were going to spend time in Dollar which is in Clackmannan Council. Since it’s such a small council, I’m including…
For the destination of Stirling Council we are leaving Argyll and Bute Council. We will continue seeing the sights along the road from Glencoe. Finding a place to stay in Stirling that is budget friendly can be a challenge. However, just outside of Stirling is the lovely town of Callander. Along with less expensive stays,…
I seem to start each Scotland destination commenting on how much there is to see and do there. Argyll and Bute Council is no exception. In fact, we are only going to look at a wee bit of this council. Hopefully Oban and the Isles will be a future post for a 2026 trip. If…
Part 4 is the final destination for Highland Council. We are looking at Fort William, Glenfinnan and Glencoe. After the Isle of Skye, Fort William seems like a tiny area. However, there is a lot to do in the town. As you can see from the map, Ben Nevis is very close, and the Visitor…
The Highland Council destination for part 3 is all about the Isle of Skye. At 50 miles long, it is the largest of the Inner Hebrides. As it is mostly single track roads, it will be the slowest place to drive around. However, the scenery is so gorgeous that just means more photo ops. I…
In part 2 of Destination: Highland Council we are moving out of Inverness. We will be looking down towards Glencoe and over to the Isle of Skye. There is a lot of area to cover so I have Google Maps to show where we are exploring. Not shown on this map, but just outside Inverness…
The destination of Scotland’s Highland Council is so large that it needs to be broken up into four parts. Highland is a council area in the Scottish Highlands. It is the largest local government area in the United Kingdom. I will just be covering the areas through which we are traveling. Part 1 is going…
The place that I am most anticipating enjoying is the Moray destination. Right now I am reading Malcolm and the Marquis of Lossie along with George MacDonald, Cullen, and Malcolm. This awesome little book by Michael and Judy Phillips is dedicated: In Memory of George MacDonald (1824-1905) Huntly native, best-selling author, one of Scotland’s 19th…
In Destination: Aberdeen we find the 3rd largest city in Scotland, as well as Marischal College, which is the 2nd largest granite building in the world. Aberdeen is one of the most architecturally distinctive cities in Europe. If that isn’t enough to get your attention, Aberdeen has two Old Towns. The first Old Town is…
When I chose to start with Destination: Aberdeenshire I had no idea of the rich history I was about to discover! Besides the 260+ Castles, approximately 20% of all of the Pictish stones recorded in Scotland, and 10% of the stone circles recorded in Britain are found in Aberdeenshire. While organizing information to share, I…
