We are quickly approaching our trip to London and Scotland. Over the past few months I have been researching places to go and things to do in Scotland and creating spreadsheets. So many spreadsheets, but this is the only way I can stay organized for our trips.

(Most images below are from our 2016 trip to Ireland)

Jason and I will be starting our adventure off spending just over 2 days in London before taking the train to Edinburgh and then hitting the road to explore Scotland. We are looking forward to visiting Stonehenge, taking a boat cruise on Loch Ness to hopefully catch a glimpse of Nessie, and visiting The Isle of Skye and the highlands. We’ll also be hitting up a few castle visits and hikes along the way.

The final trip purchases and prepping are underway. Breaking in new pairs of hiking and rain boots are going to be key in these last couple of weeks. After weeks of research, Jason finally pulled the trigger and bought a drone we plan to try out on this trip as well. Below is a shot he took from the drone this weekend while practicing, just before he crashed it into a tree (it survived).

If any of you have experience in the areas we described above and have ideas, we would love to hear any suggestions in the comments. We’ve built time in the schedule (spreadsheet official) to make stops as we drive around Scotland and see landmarks we didn’t know about previously. We look forward to hearing from you!
