2 Weeks in Scotland - 5 Unique Itinerary Ideas

Two weeks in Scotland is enough time to experience the country's best adventures, from coast to coast. On a fast-paced self-drive highlights tour, tick off nine different destinations, or slow the pace but increase the activities on a West Highland Way tour or an active Scotland adventure. Those eager to see the highlights along the famous Ring of Kerry and Skellig Ring can include Ireland in their itinerary, while travelers who prefer getting off the main trail will love an island-hopping adventure.

Scotland & Ireland - 14 Days

Fourteen days is ample time to experience the best of Scotland and Ireland, be it touring Edinburgh, hiking the Highlands, or reveling in the historic streets of Dublin. The adventures are almost too many to list: wildlife safaris in national parks, boating across Loch Ness, cycling around Glasgow, and exploring the untamed beauty of the Isle of Skye. If that's not enough, you'll hit the road on a drive to some of the most beautiful locales in southern Ireland, like the Wicklow Mountains and County Cork.

Check out Old Man of Storr on the Isle of Skye

Embark on a two-week adventure in Scotland that covers all corners of this beautiful Celtic nation, from the cities to the coastal Highlands. You'll visit Edinburgh's medieval landmarks, tour charming country villages, walk amid ancient castles at Loch Ness—and that's just the start. After admiring the sweeping coastal views on the Isle of Skye, you'll hike through wooded glens and along rushing rivers in national parks. The kicker is a visit to actual "Harry Potter" filming locations while riding a train used in the film.

Wow what a great place to visit. We had a one on one tour guide that crushed it. Got to utilize the “copper dog” ourselves. Generous portions of single malt to taste.

Hi Stan - Hi there!

I am happy to read your review. I really enjoyed showing you Speyside and the west coast of Scotland. When it comes to the driver James, I am not surprised to hear your positive feedback! He always receives great reviews.

I am happy that you got to do this bucket list trip and it all worked out well.

If you're keen to continue, then consider asking us for Whiskey in Ireland. My colleagues can certainly help you out with that!

Thanks again for choosing us,
Stephen

Hotel Reviews
The Stirling Highland Hotel
Stirling

Hotel was centrally located, but lacking in quality. Everywhere in this hotel there is visual clues that repairs are very much needed. Paint peeling off ceilings from water damage in common areas. In our hotel room, paint was coming off our bathroom ceiling from lack of ventilation and there were signs of mold around the bath tub. Comforter on the bed were poor in quality and were not very warm to sleep under in a roo. That only provided a space heater.

Wonderful old hotel and staff. This is an older hotel, so no lift. But, we had not trouble getting our luggage upstairs to our room. So, no lift when booking much older clients, this should be a consideration. Food and bar was exceptional. Location is a bit away from Ft. William, but beautifully situated.

Wonderful staff and food! They are self-sustained, meaning they grow their own food and meat is local as well. Room was very nice and clean. There is no lift, but we were fine. The good news is if older, staff will get your luggage upstairs, though we didn’t need that. Location was perfect and easy to make the loop of the Isle of Skye and back to the hotel.

Blackfriars Hotel

Due to no fault of their own, they are situated where you have to rely on pay public parking. Which is almost 3 blocks away on uneven cobble stone, so wheels on your luggage barely helps and there is no lift. We did fine getting our luggage up a flight and a half of stairs, but for much older people this would not be good at all. So, this should be a consideration for future older clients. Other than this, the food was excellent and location was perfect.

Amazing hotel and staff! We got a flat in our rental car and even though I paid for full 24 hour service, they hung up on me twice and would not come out under the 24 hour agreement and they wanted to charge me after I paid for full coverage. Beth, the hotel manager got on the phone and just like that, they came and fixed our car and we were not charged. The food was wonderful and all the staff was amazing. Can’t say enough about this place. I will never forget Beth in particular.

Dear Susan,

Thank you so very much for your lovely review and for taking the time to share your experience. It truly means a lot to me.

I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed your time with Ili, Chris, and Elaine - they are all such wonderful people, and I’ll be very happy to pass your kind words along to them. And I absolutely loved reading your comments about the hotels as well, especially Allan Park and Virgin Hotels Edinburgh.

I’m only truly sorry once again about the Jacobite train situation. Unfortunately when the steam train is unexpectedly not operating, the replacement train experience can feel very disappointing compared to what was originally planned, and I completely understand your frustration there.

But overall, I’m so glad your Scotland journey brought so many beautiful memories, wonderful scenery, and special moments along the way.

Thank you again for trusting me with your adventure, Susan!

Best wishes,
Kate
