Hello,
I have 3 extra nights at the end of a trip to England. We were thinking of flying to Aberdeen or Inverness (both have airports) for a short 3 day stay before going home. This would the last weekend of September 2025 before we fly out of Heathrow. I know this is a very last minute and spur of the moment thing, but the rest of my trip is fully planned out, I promise.
A few years ago we went to Edinburgh, Stirling, Glasgow, Isle of Skye, Oban and Glencoe, but we didn’t see Inverness, Aberdeen, or anywhere in that part of Scotland. This short trip attempts to slightly rectify that shortfall. We also do want to return to Scotland for a much longer trip in future as well.
What do are the best sights in these cities? Where do you recommend we go? We will be relying on the train or a paid tour guide. Are there guides operating in late September?
Thank you.
