Found a Great Post about a 5 day Scotland Tour!
Scotland For Beginners by Yvonne at JustTravelous.com. She couldn't have planned a better first-time tour.
She gives heartwarming descriptions and photos that capture the beauty of her tour. She travels from Edinburgh to the High Country and to Inverness. Think Outlander. There are several scenes that I'd described in my second travel mystery, Celtic Curse. However, my protagonist, also named Yvonne did not have the luxury of traveling up to the highcountry. She'll need to go back for another tour. If you read Celtic Curse you may remember that Yvonne and her client, Fiona, stayed in the Bonham hotel their first night in Edinburgh.
As a former travel agent and frequent visitor to the UK, I have also toured most of the places Yvonne from JustTravelous describes and stayed in some of the same hotels and BnBs. She is spot on in her descriptions.
I have always felt that Scotland is and always has been a country on the forefront of industry and technology, yet, it has a very ancient feel. The old stone castles and Medieval buildings, the great expanse of craggy countryside, and the old coastal towns along various waterways, gives one the ability to imagine all manner of legends and lore.
I highly recommend that you check out this lovely blog: http://www.justtravelous.com/en/2014/10/scotland-beginners-tour-car/
Happy travels by armchair whenever you can't go by car, plane or boat!
