We are planning a 9 day trip in Scotland (its our first time in Scotland) from Ghana in June 2nd week. We intend to hire and return the car at Edinburgh due to better car options availability. Hoping on some experts to advise on the below itinerary :
Day 1 : Arrive in London (overnight in London)
Day 2 : Take the train to Edinburgh (arrive at 3.30 PM) and drive to Aviemore. Overnight at Aviemore
Day 3 and 4 : Stay at Aviemore as a base and explore nearby attractions
Day 4 and 5 : Head to Skye as a base for next 2 days
Day 6 and 7 : Move to Glencoe and explore nearby sites
Day 8 and 9 : Drive back to Edinburgh and explore Edinburgh
Day 10 : Flight out of EDI
We want to keep the kids engaged throughout the trip and chose Aviemore as a base to do activities that kids will enjoy (wildlife, Steam railways etc). Would love to hear thoughts and experiences from people who have done this before with kids.
