It’s an inspiration and such a help!
“I wanted to say thank you for your amazing Scotland guide! Me my husband and our 9 month old son just came back one week ago and we had the most amazing time! And as the first bigger trip with a baby it was such a help to have that guide and didn’t need to do my own research! Thank you for everything you guys do! It’s an inspiration and such a help!”
So well done!
“I’m a very seasoned traveler and find more blogs to be lacking in enough detail and actual practical tips. [Yours was] so well done!! We actually met a few other couples [on our trip] who were also following your itinerary 🙂”
It was such a vital part of our planning!
“After researching several travel blogs for [an itinerary], I purchased the TWS itinerary and use it as a guide to help [with planning]. It was such a vital part of our planning and was such an amazing thorough packet of not only recommended places but packing list, campervan rentals, food recs and so much great info and had everything we needed to plan our trip.“

Getting around
We’ve provided driving directions, distance and timing for your road trip down the southern coast.
Accommodation
We’ve carefully chosen accommodation options for a range of budgets and travel styles, all of which get rave reviews.
A 14-day custom itinerary based on all of our research and experience in Scotland would cost upwards of $1,000.

Why trust our Scotland advice?
Before our Scotland adventure, we spent hours (okay, more like weeks!) researching the perfect route—piecing together must-see spots, hidden gems, and all of the advice we could gather.
Then we hit the road for an epic road trip through with our daughter—who was 1.5 at the time—in tow. After our trip, we fine-tuned the route into what we think is a perfectly paced 2-week itinerary that hits the highlights and the hidden gems—without feeling rushed.
But we didn’t stop there. Our team member Amanda followed this exact itinerary and gave us updates from the road, making sure everything was fresh and accurate.
Between our combined experiences, you’re getting a truly tried-and-tested route—backed by firsthand knowledge and a whole lotta love for Scotland. This is the guide we wish we had when we were planning!

FAQs
Who is this itinerary for?
This is a perfect road trip route for anyone who has roughly 2 weeks to spend in Scotland and wants to see the top sights as well as some little-known gems. This would make an amazing honeymoon or special trip.
This itinerary is for you if you:
- love scenic road trips and a sense of freedom
- want a mix of bucket list spots and off-the-beaten-path gems
- enjoy hiking, outdoor adventures, and jaw-dropping landscapes
- prefer traveling independently (not on a tour)
- like having flexibility, but also appreciate a well-thought-out plan
- want to make the most of your time in Scotland without feeling rushed
What is the budget?
The hotels, experiences and restaurants recommended are for those with a mid-range budget.
While Scotland can be an expensive country, we’ve done our best to keep costs reasonable. That said, this isn’t an itinerary for budget travelers.
What type of accommodation is recommended?
Each night of this itinerary has 2-3 accommodation options to choose from. We’ve included a mix of Airbnbs, hotels, guest houses and campsites for those doing the road trip in a campervan rental.
Do I need a car to follow this itinerary?
This itinerary was created as a road trip, and therefore you will need your own vehicle.
However, we have included accommodation options in this itinerary for both those traveling in a campervan and those with rental cars.
Our advice: Ultimately, the best decision is what you are most comfortable with. You can adjust your itinerary accordingly. If driving or spending the night in a campervan isn’t your cup of tea, opt for a rental car and stay in hotels along the way. If you’re up for a bigger adventure and more freedom, we highly recommend renting a campervan.
You DO NOT need a 4×4 for this itinerary.
How much physical activity does this itinerary require?
We’ve included a number of hikes and outdoor adventures, plus there is a decent amount of walking involved to explore the destinations around Scotland.
That being said, we think anyone with a moderate level of fitness should be able to enjoy this itinerary, and you can always swap out of a hike for another less strenuous activity if you’re not feeling up for it.
What time of year can I follow this itinerary?
In theory you could do this itinerary for any time of year, however in the colder winter months, some of the hiking and outdoor activities may not be as enjoyable (or open!). Not to mention the shorter daylight hours.
We’d suggest following this Scotland itinerary during the spring, summer or fall months (April – October).
You can find more information in our guide to the best time to visit Scotland.
What if I have less time?
We have suggestions for how to alter this itinerary whether you have more or less time.
What is your return policy?
Since this is a digital download and we cannot revoke access to it, we have a no refund policy.
For this reason, we have made it incredibly affordable.
We stand by this product 100% and have put countless hours into putting it together for you. We are confident that this will be extremely helpful in planning your trip.
The itinerary includes various easy to moderate level hikes, but nothing too demanding or requiring extra gear.
