15 days Scotland tour

Of course, on a 15-day round trip through Scotland, there is no way around bustling Edinburgh and charming Glasgow. But this route also takes you past Ullapool with its pretty white houses in the middle of the breathtaking Highland scenery and you end up in Aberdeen in your hire car. The city, which is around 8,000 years old, is a treasure trove for history fans.

Visit the famous King’s College and fall in love with the simple elegance of St Machar’s Cathedral. Visit Marischal College, perhaps the most famous granite building in the Silver City, and take a fast-paced journey through several millennia in the city’s oldest house, Provost Skene’s House. Afterwards, you can let your countless new impressions sink in at one of the city’s cosy pubs and raise a glass with a “Slànte Mhath”.

Speyside is not just an excellent whisky. It is also a picturesque region, nestled between the Highlands, vast fields and the forests and moors of the Cairngorm National Park. The region is, of course, famous for the fine spirits produced by the 50 distilleries located here.

On your 15-day round trip through Scotland, you should also make time for a hike in Speyside. Simply park your hire car, lace up your hiking boots and disappear into a landscape between the Moray Firth and the murmuring Spey River.

The Moray Coastal Trail is a particularly beautiful route. It leads you directly along the sea over jagged rocks and past dark caves yawning deep into the mountain, where an icy breeze – and a few goose bumps – blow from time to time.

Scotland is not only famous for its cuisine. It is also notorious for some dishes. This certainly includes haggis, in which the heart, lungs and liver of sheep are processed. But perhaps you would prefer to try another classic: salmon. The Scots prepare it in countless variations. Many a small family restaurant has its own traditional recipe. The tender Angus meat, which tastes particularly good when grilled, is also a fine choice. On your round trip through Scotland, the mince pie Scotch Pie, the Full Scottish Breakfast and the countless burger variations are all hearty options. We recommend fish’n’chips as a not-so-easy snack for a stroll through the city or by the sea – always with the original Mushy Peas. But the Scots are not only good at rich, savoury cuisine – they also make some irresistible sweet temptations. These clearly include Millionaire Shortbread, countless varieties of fudge, elaborate pies and cakes as well as cranachan, which combines traditional Scottish ingredients such as raspberries, whisky, honey and oats.

Speaking of whisky, of course we mustn’t forget it. After all, some of the world’s best whiskies come from Scotland, ranging from mild whiskies like Glenmorangie or Glengoyne to smoky flavours like Caol Ila. There are more than 120 distilleries across the country and some will let you in on the secrets of their fine spirits during a visit.

Get a little closer to the Loch Ness monster than just the shore. On a short cruise, follow in the footsteps of Queen Victoria, marvel at a magnificent castle backdrop and glide along Thomas Telford’s famous Caledonian Canal while listening to your local guide and his anecdotes, both known and unknown.
