1. Road to the Isles

A 50-mile trail through the rugged Scottish landscape.
Reviewed By jpseddie - Poole, United Kingdom
We did the "Road to the Isles Road Trip" from Fort William all the way and enjoyed it very much. fantastic scenery with mountains rivers and waterfalls all around. Half way point make sure you stop at the Glenfinnan monument and viaduct . For Harry Potter fans the viaduct is the scene from the second movie where the Hogwarts Express caught up with the flying Ford Anglia!. The Glenfinnan Monument has a visitor centre and lots of history surrounding Bonnie Prince Charlie and the views are simply amazing especially from the top looking down on the monument. We finally arrived at Mallaig just as the Jacobite Steam Train ( Hogwarts Express) was leaving ! :o)

Walk this circular 1.5-mile trail through wooded slopes overhung by birch trees, with a stop along the viewing platform that looks over deep chasms and Strathtay.

Just beautiful in Autumn. Take the right hand path of the circular walk it’s an easier gentle climb but worth every step for the sheer beauty of the falls

Visited in early January when the weather wasn't great but this has to be one of the most beautiful parts of Scotland. If you are looking for deer then this is the place to go. The views are absolutely stunning and the tranquillity is incredible. We encountered two cars in the whole time we were driving through. The wild goats are incredible too.

Edinburgh's oldest neighborhood, dating back to medieval times: these small streets are lined with wool shops, pubs and historical monuments.

When in Edinburgh you must visit The Old Town, .. See the Old Tenement Buildings.. Feel the History of this old Historical Town, with its cobbled streets....Take a walk along the Royal Mile, from the Castle to Holyrood Palace.. You can easily feel what it must've been like living in "Auld Reekie" centuries ago.. and hearing the words being shouted from the tenement windows "Gardy Loo" ..the warning that Waste was going to be thrown out the window...Visit Grassmarket.. and the weekend Farmers Markets... If you looking for souvenirs to take home you will definitely find them here, from the array of shops to choose from,.. if your looking for Cashmere, Whisky., Tablet or some nice Edinburgh Rock..You will find it all in the Old Town and much more.
10. New Town
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 476 reviews
The modern face of Edinburgh, with lots of restaurants, pubs, museums and galleries.
Reviewed By johnhouston2 - Knaresborough, United Kingdom
The first thoughts of some people might be that a “new town” is not the sort of place to visit during a touring holiday, but it should be noted here that the term is only used here to differentiate this part of the city centre from the decidedly ancient bit across the road! Edinburgh’s New Town is most definitely worth a long, slow visit. The architecture is mainly Georgian and is a delight of grand buildings and beautiful squares, all set out within a convenient grid pattern. It’s a place where you can visit some nice historic houses and museums as well as very good independent shops, cafes, restaurants and the occasional pub. In other words - there is plenty to do and admire; or even just a place to relax.
