I went to Scotland this summer, drove around a bit, took some photos, hung out with some cool people, saw some live tunes, ate lots of food, and had a great time exploring the country. Here’s some fun stats from the trip:
Trip Stats
- Number of Days: 10
- Towns visited: 5
- Miles driven: 381
- Scotches sampled: 8
- Side of the road driven on: Left
Days 1-2: Callander
Ducks on a lake. Taken off the side of a country road near Callander on my second day
Panorama from near the top of Ben A’an. It was a scorcher out and by the time I got to the top I was exhausted, dehydrated, and out of water. Thankfully a kind Australian woman noticed I looked “like I was having a bad time” and offered me one of her extra water bottles. Total savior
A delicious Scottish breakfast, courtesy of my friendly guesthouse owner Andy. Unfortunately missing black pudding but still extra tasty
Day 3: Driving to Pitlochry
My trusty ride rental car. Driving on the left side of the road took a lot of getting used to on the first day, as did all the roundabouts. But, by the second day, I adjusted and it was smooth cruising the rest of the way

Some cute lil Scottish sheep
Day 4-6: Edinburgh
Somewhere northeast of Edinburgh. Probably in North Berwick. Was a great spot to chill out before heading back to Edinburgh to return my rental car
Ben Howard live at Edinburgh Playhouse. An absolutely amazing experience
Another live shot from the Ben Howard concert
Views from the top of Arthur’s Seat in Edinburgh
Hanging out with the bro on the way down from Arthur’s Seat
Days 7-8: Isle of Arran

Approaching the Isle
The walled garden at Brodick Castle. A lovely spot to sit and chill out
Sunset on the Isle of Arran
Days 8-10: Edinburgh
The Lighthouse’s spiral staircase to the viewing platform up top. Stopped by here in Glasgow on my way to Edinburgh
Looks like a great trip and outstanding photos! I enjoyed
