What to see in Scotland in 4 days
Edinburgh makes a wonderful destination for a 4-day trip to Scotland. The city hosts numerous events each year, from the popular Christmas Market in December to the month-long Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August. You can easily spend a day in Edinburgh, or more, strolling the cobbled streets of the Royal Mile between Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Palace or exploring the elegant New Town neighbourhood. If you wish to spend all three nights at an accommodation in Edinburgh, there are also several day tour options, for example a day trip to the famous university city of St Andrews.
Edinburgh is perfect for short breaks, but this doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a small adventure into the majestic Scottish Highlands to see the postcard-perfect landscapes. On a 4-day Scotland tour from Edinburgh you can can spend a night in the Fort Augustus or Fort William area and visit top Highland attractions like the legendary shores of Loch Ness, Cairngorms National Park, the prehistoric Clava Cairns, the gorgeous Glen Coe area and the medieval Doune Castle. A great way to experience the best of Scotland in 4 days is to travel on a privately guided tour, with your own professional driver-guide showing you around the top sights and hidden gems of the Highlands.
