Re: Tips for vacation in the UK?

[(Anonymous)]

My family did Scotland just before covid (with a quick flight over to Iceland). I really enjoyed going out to the Orkneys to see Skara Brae. It's a fascinating site, and there are lots of other historical sites all around including a mound tomb with Viking graffiti. We stayed in an airbnb outside of town and it was the first time I've ever seen the milky way in real life.

It was great being able to get around mainland Scotland by train. Edinburgh also had lots of great historical sites; we got an airbnb right on the royal mile. My mom LOVES castle tours, so naturally we did both on either end of the mile. And since we went in mid Nov they were doing a Christmas market by the train station, which was a lot of fun. In Glasgow we managed to get a walking tour all to ourselves, and the tour guide did a fantastic job of teaching us the history of the city. And we got a great tour of historical sites/Loch Ness when we stayed in Inverness.

The only downside was when we went to Skye. It was the off season, so there weren't any tour buses to take you around the island. My aunt insisted we rent a car and drive ourselves, but the roads are one lane, it's very twisty, and we're American so we were used to driving on the other side so reflexes aren't matching - and the locals who obviously know the roads take the speed limits as guidelines. I didn't really get to enjoy Skye. :(

Did you rent a car at all when you were on Scotland mainland or did you get around just by train? NGL, I'm kinda leery about renting a car since I'm also used to driving on the right and I'll have to do all the driving. So if a train-only trip is an option I really wouldn't mind.

I didn't even consider Iceland! Was it a day trip or did you stay several nights?

We rented a car on Orkney and Skye. Otherwise on the mainland it was all train and bus/cabs. Thankfully we did our practice driving on Orkney, which is tiny and the locals seemed to have a good laugh at all the mistakes. XD So long as you don't visit any of the islands, or have tour groups that will pick you up, train-only is entirely possible!

We went to Iceland for a few days, and did a scenic tour on day one, the hot springs spa/tour cruise for the northern lights (it ended up being too overcast, booo) on day two, and on day three when we were supposed to wander around Reykjavik it ended up raining cats and dogs. We did manage to get to a museum near our airbnb about the history of Reykjavik with old Viking buildings and whatnot, but we didn't get to really look around in town.
