Hello:
This is our 1st trip to Scotland, and we're just in the beginning planning stage. Does this sound like a reasonable itinerary? We will be driving.
Day 1 & 2 Edinburgh (stay outside Edinburgh, as I've heard it is very crowded, due to the festival);
Days 3 & 4: Fife county (can anyone recommend the best place to stay there ? OR is Oban preferable? Or one night in each location?
Days 4 & 5: Fort Williams
Days 6 & 7: Isle of Skye.
Would appreciate any input! We usually like to linger in a location at least two nights, and hike. Our main interest is nature, distilleries, and throw in some castles!
Also, any accommodation recommendations would be great!
Am I missing any must-see's?! It would be great if we had a month, but we don't! Mull island?Orca Island?
Thanks! Michele
