Our trip to Scotland was amazing. Each location was different and beautiful and a good sampling of what we wanted to see in Scotland. Each lodging was also different but also beautiful. From quaint inns to personal cabins to luxurious hotels. We self drove so had a lot of flexible in what we did but the KimKim app was so useful in helping us decide what to do for the day. We did have some preset excursions. The Cairn distillery tour was very good and the Hairy Coo tour was really fun. And the castles....got to see castles in Scotland.

There are so many hidden gems you might otherwise miss when travelling by train or bus! I’m so happy to hear that you... Read more

Hi Karen,

Thank you so much for your lovely review!
Scotland really does have so much to offer, and I truly believe that a self-drive trip is one of the best ways to experience the country. It might take a little time to get used to driving on the left, but the freedom to explore at your own pace and discover all those beautiful places along the way makes it so worthwhile. There are so many hidden gems you might otherwise miss when travelling by train or bus!

I’m so happy to hear that you had such a memorable adventure and enjoyed the variety of places you visited and stayed in. And of course, those beautiful Scottish castles! No trip to Scotland would feel quite complete without them!
It was a real pleasure to be part of your Scottish adventure, and I’m delighted that you came home with such wonderful memories.
Warmly,
Aleksandra
