Where to go on a 9-day tour of Scotland
The most popular places to visit on 9-day Scotland tours are Edinburgh, Scotland’s capital city, as well the Scottish Highlands and the Isle of Skye. Most itineraries start from Edinburgh and include overnights in the areas of Inverness, Fort William, Loch Lomond and Skye. On this classic Scotland route route you can experience top attractions such as Loch Ness, the picturesque valley of Glen Coe, ancient standing stones, Eilean Donan Castle, Trossachs National Park, the Glenfinnan Viaduct (the “Harry Potter Bridge”) and some filming locations from the popular Outlander TV series, such as Doune Castle. With 9 days in Scotland, you can even extend your route to include the Aberdeenshire “Castle Trail” region or the beautiful Scottish Borders region.

See the best of Scotland in 9 days on a guided tour
Want to travel with a local guide on your own customised Scotland route in 9 days? Nordic Visitor’s privately-guided tours offer the flexibility of a self-drive tour but without the driving. Riding in a premium 4x4 vehicle driven by your private guide, you’ll be able to visit many of Scotland’s top attractions as well the lesser known gems that only the locals know about. Private tours are fully customisable and are great options for those who have specific interests in Scottish heritage, Scotch whisky or Outlander filming locations, for example.
If you’re flexible with your length of stay in Scotland, you might also consider a guided small group tour by Nordic Visitor. Our tour groups are limited to 16 travellers so that you can enjoy more personal interactions with your local driver-guide and fellow adventurers while travelling in a comfy mini-coach. Extra nights in Edinburgh can be added to these tours to give you extra time for exploring the city’s landmarks, like the Royal Mile or Edinburgh Castle, on your own.
