Begin your trip by exploring two of Scotland's most iconic landmarks. Start at Edinburgh Castle, where you can admire the crown jewels and visit St. Margaret's Chapel. Then, head to the opulent Palace of Holyroodhouse to walk in the footsteps of Mary Queen of Scots.
Experience the wonders of optical illusions and interactive exhibits at Camera Obscura, then stroll along the Royal Mile, a picturesque street that's home to shops, restaurants and historic buildings.
Take a scenic drive through the Scottish countryside to the stunning valley of Glencoe, which is steeped in history and folklore. Explore the area's walking trails, waterfalls and wildlife, and soak up the peaceful scenery. End the day with a drive to Inverness, the capital of the Highlands.
Discover the mystery of the deep, dark waters of Loch Ness, home to the fabled creature known as Nessie. Take a boat tour and explore the surrounding area before heading to the Jacobite Steam Train, also known as the Hogwarts Express Train. The train features beautiful views of the Scottish highlands and served as the fictional Hogwarts Express in the Harry Potter movies.
Say goodbye to Scotland and make your way back to Edinburgh Airport.
If you have more time, consider adding a visit to the Isle of Skye or touring the Scottish Whisky Trail. If you have less time, you could skip the Hogwarts Express Train experience and spend more time exploring Edinburgh or the Scottish countryside. Make sure to check weather conditions before heading out on any outdoor activities, and pack layers as temperatures can vary throughout the day.
