Scotland is a beautiful country with so much to see, from bustling cities to tranquil lochs and historic castles. When I visited recently, I based myself in Dundee and used it as a starting point for trips to Inverness, St Andrews, Edinburgh, and Glasgow. It was an adventure — but one that came with a lot of time spent in the car! In this post, I’ll share why I’d now recommend splitting your stay across a few locations to make the most of your Scottish adventure. 1️⃣ The Road Trip vs The Day Trip At first, having one hotel in Dundee seemed practical. However, we found ourselves spending hours driving back and forth each day — for example, our day trip to Inverness meant being on the road for well over 6 hours in total. While the scenery was beautiful, the long drives meant less time to actually explore the places we’d come to see. Staying in multiple locations could have saved so much time, allowing us to focus on enjoying each destination rather than rushing to fit everything in befor...

From a young age, I’ve loved travelling and exploring the world — but I never imagined that a single photo I took would end up being seen over 3.3 million times. That’s exactly what happened with my image of Urquhart Castle, perched dramatically on the edge of Loch Ness in Scotland. 📸 That photo didn’t just go viral — it changed the way I see travel. 🏰 The Moment at Urquhart Castle It was during a day trip to Inverness that I visited Urquhart Castle. With only a limited amount of time, I explored the area around the castle and took in the breath-taking views from nearby vantage points. The photo in question was taken overlooking Loch Ness, with the castle ruins nestled in the landscape — timeless, powerful, and quietly beautiful. Without overthinking it, I uploaded the image to Google Maps alongside a few others from the trip. I had no idea what would happen next.

Scotland is full of unforgettable landscapes, but Inverness holds something truly special — even if you only have a day to explore it. I visited Inverness on a day trip and spent the day outdoors, camera in hand, soaking in the stunning Highland atmosphere. While I didn’t venture inside many buildings, the exteriors, views, and riverside walks were more than enough to leave a lasting impression. 📍 Highlights from My Camera Roll Even with limited time, I managed to capture a wide variety of sights — each offering its own charm and story Friars Bridge & Ness Bridge I took two beautiful shots while standing on Greig Street Bridge — one facing towards Ness Bridge, and another looking out at Friars Bridge. The views across the River Ness from here are simply breath-taking and offer a sweeping look at Inverness’s scenic charm. Friars Bridge, Inverness, Scotland.
