Day 3 Edinburgh - Scotland B&B

Continue using your Royal Tour Pass. Consider hopping on the Majestic Tour, which will bring you to the Royal Yacht Brittania, the Royal Botanic Garden, Old Town, and the Scottish Parliament building. Once you've seen all the sights, pick up your rental car and make your way to the first Scottish bed and breakfast of your choosing!

Day 4 Scotland B&B

Explore the stupendous Scottish highlights you've always dreamed of! Make your way northwest so you can discover all the historic sites in this area. On your way, make a stop at Stirling Castle, one of the best-preserved Renaissance buildings in all of the U.K.!

Day 5 Scotland B&B

In the northwest, you'll have an abundance of historic sights to choose from! Visit the ruins at Elgin Cathedral or take in scenic views from the Kinnaird Head Castle Lighthouse and Museum.
