My girlfriend and i are traveling to scotland in november...any recommendations?

Answer 1

One drawback of visiting Scotland in November is the weather - it's often pretty miserable, summer's over and winter's not begun - it's the grey, wet part inbetween.

One of the many great things about Scotland is that wherever you are there's plenty of things to see and do. In November you may be restricted to indoor things in which case the two major cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh are both worth a visit as are some of the smaller but equally interesting places including Sterling, Oban and Perth.

Weather permitting, the Highlands is a must-see place. The scenery is magnificent and if it's scenery you're after you could easily spend your entire vacation in the Highlands. One of the drawbacks is that there'sonly really two major towns - Inverness and Fort William (three if you include Aviemore), so you're restricted when it comes to indoor activities - you'll find things to do but there's a limit to the number of restaurants, pubs and museums you'd want to visit.

Again, weather permitting, a trip to the islands is worthwhile. Skye is the most accessible as it's now connected to the mainland by a bridge but many of the islands are well served by regular ferry sailings and some of the smaller ones including Jura, Islay, Colonsay and Rhum are interesting places, so too are the island groups to the north of Scotland - the Orkneys and Shetlands.

You must go to Stirling !! Its beautiful and if you are a fan of Braveheart, is THE place to go.
They have a nice cute bus tour which is totally worth paying for.
The trip to Loch Ness is stunning as well and the feeling to be surrounded by the place of stories you hear since you were little are hard to describe.
If you can't go too far, go to Edinburgh castle, and Loch Lomond.
I'd pass on Glasgow, as its just a big city and not a loot to see. The locals are lovely, but you can cover the city in 2-3 hours, take the train and move to the next stop :)
