This is part three of my three-part series of posts about what I recommend on a visit to Scotland. I’m writing posts because I get asked a lot and this is easier than repeating myself a bunch of times. <\/span><\/p>\n

You can get part 1 of the series <\/span>here<\/span><\/a> – dealing with Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Stirling, and general links to agencies and our past photo posts – and part 2 of the series <\/span>here<\/span><\/a> – dealing with the Isle of Skye. <\/span><\/p>\n

Part 3: Road trips<\/strong> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There are a lot of cool places to see in Scotland but I don’t have time to write a travel book or extensive posts about all of them\u00a0(except the two previous ones). In this post I’m going to list some of\u00a0my favorite driving routes\u00a0that allow you to see a bunch of cool scenery and\/or places along with a few pointers to specific items. I recommend getting the <\/span>Ordinance Survey Landranger<\/span><\/a> series of maps that cover the routes you’re going to drive as they list all kinds of interesting historical things to see. For all of these I also recommend doing more research of the routes and places to stop, depending on what you like to do. Many of the places listed here have whisky distilleries nearby or clan centers. I’ve put in wikipedia links (if existing) the first time a place is mentioned.<\/span><\/p>\n
