Sometime within the next 2 years my wife and I plan to travel in Scotland. This is a trip I have been wanting to take for decades and now we have the time. For a first exposure I thought maybe a cruise would give us a taste before exploring on our own. But now I think renting a car and driving around might be a better experience.
Our funds are modest and we would like to enjoy as much as possible in the 2 weeks we can be away from our animals. The internet and GoogleEarth are both good places to start my research but I thought that recommendations from folks here that have experience traveling in Scotland would be an even better place.
We are in our mid 60s. My wife is very active and likes hiking and exploring outdoors. A few back surgeries make agressive hiking more challenging for me but I don't intend for it to keep me from trying to keep up with her. Also want to check out as many castles, drink as much stout, and enjoy as many of the smaller towns as we can.
Any suggestion, recommendations, etc. on planning our trip, websites to visit, modest places to stay, sights to see would be appreciated.
Cheers!
