We're a group of 3 women celebrating our birthdays and none of us have ever been there. We love history and hiking and exploring. We want a few days in Edinburgh and to see Glasgow ( have a friend there). Just looking for ideas and recommendations. Was considering flying into Glasgow and out of Edinburgh or vice versa.
Thank you,
Milray Howell
The two city centers are only an hour apart by train, though the airports add about 30 more minutes by transfer. Are you driving through Scotland or taking public transportation and day tours? What time of year?
Guess I should have given more info- sorry. Dates are somewhere in the May 21- June 6 for probably 8-10 days. Would like to see Highlands, etc. Maybe fly into Edinburgh and fly out of Inverness?
Considering driving aims some of it but open to all ideas
leonard is correct, you can easily take the train from Edinburgh to Glasgow for a day trip. We did this same trip couple years ago, flying into Edinburgh and departing from Inverness. Couple days in Edinburgh, then took a small group tour operated by Rabbie's (local UK co) for a several day tour of the Highlands. I highly recommend them. I felt like we saw so much more than if we had tried to drive ourselves. Enjoy, Scotland is beautiful!
