What are some good places to visit in Scotland? - eviltoast

I’m thinking of taking a holiday in Scotland, but frankly, I have no idea what I’d be doing there (nor have I ever been on holiday somewhere else tbh, so I’d love to do some planning beforehand). I really want to enjoy the nature and landscapes there and I’m sure there must be a few not so tourist-y gems I could plan on visiting.

    Inverness is a great base, though not an especially wonderful city in itself. Go west to visit Ullapool, a completely charming town and beautiful scenery en route. Or head for Speyside malt country if you’re a whisky fan. Or check out Loch Ness, or Cawdor Castle, or go dolphin watching. Enjoy!

      Thanks for confirming that, Inverness I’m sure is nice, but yeah it seems more like a jumping off point for us. We’re thinking about first day exploring the city and going on the boat tour of Ness & Ulquart castle, but then second day renting a car (terrified of driving on the left tho), and driving out. I’ve seen Cawdor come up a few times, maybe that, and then we’re thinking maybe Glennmorangie (because we actually have their sister distillery here in Seattle so we figured why not go see it). However we’ve been looking for other places, I’ll look into Ullapool!
