Scotland Travel Agent Review: Isle of Skye, Inverness, Falkirk Wheel, Stirling Castle, Hiking, Boating, 18-Day Tour

I bet you’d get a different answer from each of us on the best of our vacation in Scotland! I really liked the Falkirk Wheel, hiking to Neist Point on the Isle of Skye, and The Glenlivet distillery tour. My parents liked boating out to hike the Isle of Mull and see nesting puffins up close, my husband liked touring Stirling Castle with the live characters and interactive history, my mother-in-law liked the driving tours to the Kelpies statues and Sutherland castle, and my sister-in-law liked watching the Scottish soccer team play Ukraine in a local bar in Inverness! We enjoyed diving into local foods and cheering team rivalries at one of the northern Scottish Highland Games, and spent some nights in an old converted Abbey. Oh, and the engineer/scientist in me really liked seeing the Cromarty Firth and North Sea where they make the majority of North Sea oil rigs, and are now making ocean wind turbine bases!!
There was something for each of us, and the mix of active days, relaxing downtime, learning, and playing was perfect.
