My Scotland/Ireland trip

Postby Settee » Sep 14, '14, 2:54 pm

Ok so I know its been a month since I got back, but holy hell life has been busy. Anyways I finally have a few minutes to write some of what I did..

Ok so to start off, from the time I left my house, till I got to the B&B in Northern Ireland, where I stayed the first night, I had been travelling for about 25 hours.Spent 3 nights in Limavady, 2 nights in Belfast. In Ireland I saw 3 locations from Game of thrones (kings road, demon baby cave, and the beach where Stannis burned the effigies), hit a lot of pubs, and yes I had a Guinness and I enjoyed it. While touring around I accidentally ended up over in the Republic of Ireland, so I had a pint and went back.

Spent 5 nights in Perth, 10 nights in Edinburgh, and 2 nights in Glasgow. Went as far north as Inverness, saw St. Andrews, Bannockburn, Sterling Castle and the Wallace Monument (I climbed all 246 which wasn't easy for a fat guy :lol ), Edinburgh castle, Urquhart castle and Loch Ness, went to the Royal Military Tattoo, Pubs (a whole lot of pubs), and I saw a whole bunch of other stuff I cant remember at the moment. While staying in Edinburgh, I decided to catch the train down to Newcastle England for a meal and a pint just so that I could say I went to England. I still haven't looked at the pictures, but I'm sure after I look more memories will come flooding back. Anyways that was basically my trip. It was absolutely amazing and I will definitely be going back some day.

Just seen this - sounds awesome. I've been to Loch Ness and it was a great day out. The actual lake was so much bigger than I expected too.

Glad you enjoyed it over here in the UK!

That sounds amazing! Did you do this with a tour group, or did you plan it all out yourself? Ireland is high on my list of countries to visit.

I went with my parents, I have family over in Scotland that I barely knew so it was nice going with my parents since they have been over a few times before and know the family well. Next time I'm going alone and I'm gonna rent a car and go as far north as I can.
