14-day Scotland tour with your own car

Lovers of historic arts and crafts should definitely stop by the Tron Kirk on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh and treat themselves to a real Scottish coffee in the neighbouring small café after a stroll through the market.

If you want to see more of Edinburgh on this 14-day round trip to Scotland, hike up to Calton Hill. Robert Louis Stevenson raved about the view of the city. Stories about Edinburgh from below are told in underground vaults, the entrance to which is also on the Royal Mile. It also becomes royal when you get out of your hire car in Perth.

Where Scone Palace stands today was once the most important church in Scotland – Scone Abbey, where Scottish kings were crowned until 843. The old walls now house a museum and an art gallery that tell you a lot about Perth.

You can experience the Victorian era at George Square in Glasgow, where you can admire the splendour of this era with the City Chambers and the Merchant City. Celebrities such as Thomas Campbell, Robert Burns and Lord Clyde look down on you from columns in the square. Rotterdam, on the other hand, is more modern, with its curious cube houses and the futuristic, horseshoe-shaped market hall with the characteristic nickname “Koopboog”.

Enter the home of magical creatures with the breathtaking nature of Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park – at least if you ask the locals. Here you will encounter the image of the wild and unspoilt country during your 14-day round trip to Scotland.

Park your hire car on the edge and immerse yourself in the park, pass dark, mirror-like lakes, hike through majestic gorges, through dense forests and over rough, rocky hilltops. Simply breathe in the tranquillity of the landscape and take a break from everyday life.

And you will already understand very well why Sir Walter Scott created an eternal monument to this unique landscape with “The Lady of the Lake” and why he set the famous Rob Roy in this landscape. Incidentally, you can trace the latter on the Rob Roy Way.

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.

Scottish cuisine is famous, but also a little infamous. Would you like to get to know it on this 14-day tour of Scotland? Then why not take a food walk through Edinburgh and discover classics, specialities and insider tips in delicatessens, pubs and cafés under local guidance and learn a few anecdotes about the city itself.
