Welcome to our Scotland Vlog. By far one of the most memorable trips that we have ever taken. Its incredibly beautiful & worth the trip if you get a chance to go! I would love to go back during early Spring / April or early fall to do it again & see more spots! Listing everything we did below! If you have any questions, feel free to comment below!
What I Packed: We went at the end of March and we decided to take a few of our lightweight rain coats & a few layering pieces! I wore leggings majority of the time, vests, my hokas & hiking boots. We wanted to explore majority of the time, so I made sure to bring those comfy / waterproof clothes. It tends to rain on and off so having a lightweight jacket with a hood was best. I did pack a few outfits for the city but brought one pair of my “dressy” sneakers to pair with pretty much everything! Wore jeans and a cute top majority of the time.
For makeup I have a full reel on instagram sharing the makeup bag & makeup I took in my carry on. It was PERFECT for our road trips since I was doing my makeup in the car majority of the time.

I recommend packing a few lightweight outfits in a carry on and some travel skincare/body care items incase your luggage gets lost like ours was. Mine arrived on day 3 and Davis’ didn’t arrive until day 5.
Itinerary:
Land in Edinburgh airport
Car rental pick up - We drove our own car until we got to the city & then we parked and walked majority of the time! FYI you drive on the left side of the road and there are lots of roundabouts haha
Headed straight to Falkland where the Covenanter Hotel is (outlander fans this ones for you)
Next we went straight to Inverness to sleep and get ready for the next day (this is about a 3 hour drive)

Xoko for breakfast is good in Inverness! Get the cinnamon roll. Its AMAZING.
Culloden Battlefield - do the tour with the guide! It was short/simple & a great way to learn the history.
Clava carins (not a far drive after the battlefield) Pretty location to see
The arched bridge is near Clava carins and is a pretty view.
Headed to Dunrobin castle after this and unfortunately it was closed! Opened April 1st. a MUST SEE in my opinion. Its absolutely beautiful.
