Stirling
University town with impressive castle: last year we didn't stop here, as we couldn't find a parking place close to the castle.
Edinburgh
Scotland's capital city, and 2nd biggest tourist attraction in the UK, with majestic castle, many stately buildings (eg Holyrood Palace), parks, museums and shopping streets. A must-see is the Royal Mile, a route from Edinburgh Castle to Holyrood Palace.
Inverness
Considered to be the capital of the highlands, close to Loch Ness, and is the start of the NC500.
Fort William
On the eastern shore of Loch Linnhe, Fort William is a major tourist centre with Glen Coe just to the south, Ben Nevis and Aonach Mòr to the east, and Glenfinnan to the west.
Bunree Campsite is 10 miles south of Fort William, close to Glen Coe and with lovely views across Loch Linnhe
Oban
The most prominent attraction in Oban is McCaig's Tower which is visible from a great portion of the town.
The area around Oban has a dramatic scenery of the coast and mountains, as well as historically valuable local castles and ancient religious sites. North of the town the natural rock formation of Fingal's Dogstone is connected in legend to the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland.[37]
Glasgow
Glasgow[a] is the most populous city in Scotland, located on the banks of the River Clyde in west central Scotland.
UNESCO City of Music: it has many pubs with live music.
Not only Castles!
Beuatiful scenery, shopping, restaurants & hiking/biking
This route takes us through some of the most beautiful scenery in Scotland, if not the world. So we won't be racing between cities, rather meandering and stopping wherever we want. Nevertheless, there'll be plenty of opportunity to shop (eg Livingston Designer Outlet near Edinburgh), eat-out and hike/bike!
