Hi All --
Enjoying these topics -- can't wait to get to Scotland!
I'll be with family in Glasgow for two days (after three in London) in March 2024. When they head to Dublin on the 10th, I'd like to stay in Scotland to explore on my own for five or six days.
I've got a place I can stay in Ballater (essentially for free) for a few days. I'm a big fan of free so I thought I'd plan around that, maybe head to Edinburgh from there. And then by train back to London to catch my return flight. Unless I can find an affordable way to fly into London and home from Edinburgh. (Roundrip NY-London-nonstop seems to be less than the one-way fare from Edinburgh. Will factor in the cost of the train to London as my itinerary shapes up.)
I have not ruled out driving, but I'm usually perfectly happy on trains and on foot. For me, the best part of travel is the walking.
I'd appreciate whatever suggestions and tips you might have -- mainly about getting around.
