My girlfriend and I are planning a trip to London and Scotland for the middle of next month, October, for a total of 10 days. I have never been to England or Scotland before, but my girlfriend has been to London. We are taking an overnight flight on Virgin Atlantic arriving in London in the morning. We will be staying in London for 3-4 days, and we plan to hit the highlights in London, including the Tower of London, London Bridge, the Eye, Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace.
Then the plan is to take the Caledonian sleeper train from London to Fort William in Scotland. That is a train with sleeper berths that leaves at 7:15 p.m. from London and arrives in Fort William at around 9:30 a.m. the next morning. I like trains, but I've never taken a sleeper train before, so I'm looking forward to that. The tentative plan is to stay in Fort William for a day then take the regular non-sleeper train service through Glasgow then arrive in Edingurgh and stay there for 2 days, then return to London for a day, then return home.
We already bought the plane tickets, but all the other plans are tentative at this point. Are there any suggestions for things to see or do in London or in Scotland? We would like to see a beer brewery or a whisky distillery while in Scotland. Any advice for a first time traveler to England and Scotland? Thanks.
