Once again, there is so much to see and do in the destination: Fife Council. If you like coastal beach, lighthouses, nature walks, history, and local art Fife has all of that. We will only be able to look at a small portion that I might actually get to see on this trip. Even though…
In Destination: The ‘Lothian’ Councils we will be looking at East Lothian, Midlothian, and West Lothian councils. These councils border City of Edinburgh council. We will start with East Lothian Council which has much more to see than just Dunbar and beaches. It is also filled with history, hiking, and horses! East Lothian Council North…
There won’t be any bonus councils in Destination: City of Edinburgh Council. Of all of the councils, Edinburgh has the most Google Map images. That was a little shocking since I had really only considered Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile, and Dean’s Village area. We will start by looking at the outskirts and then move…
As you will see looking at Destination: Glasgow City Council, there are a ton of family friendly parks and hiking areas in Glasgow and the surrounding councils. This includes our bonus councils of Renfrewshire and East Renfrewshire. In fact, there are many, many more beautiful outdoor spaces than we will have time to look at…
My first thoughts about the Falkirk Council destination is of the Falkirk Wheel and the Kelpies. However, as we will discover, there is so much more in this area. For a bonus we will also be looking at North Lanarkshire Council. Through both of these councils we will be able to follow the Antonine Wall…
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…
