Scotland Travel Guide: Highlands, Hidden Beaches and Edinburgh Highlights
We recorded this episode after traveling through Scotland on a road trip that combined cities, countryside and coastal areas. Scotland was a place we wanted to see slowly, with time for driving, stopping and changing plans as we went.
This episode reflects how we experienced Scotland across different regions and why it worked so well as a flexible trip.
Episode Summary
In this episode, we share our road trip across Scotland, starting with a long drive inland after arriving by ferry and settling into a farmhouse in the Highlands. From there, the episode stays focused on what it was actually like to explore rural Scotland by car.
We cover the drives, the landscapes and the small towns we passed through, along with what surprised us most once we were fully in the Highlands. This episode isn’t about listing sights. It’s about what it felt like to travel this part of Scotland slowly and stay outside the cities.
If you’re planning a Scotland road trip or considering the Highlands for your first visit, this episode gives a clear picture of distances, driving days and what everyday travel looks like once you’re there.
