3 seniors to do Scotland
 

We are 3 senior citizens (we're old) looking to do Scotland in 14-21 days in July-August. We will probably look at airbnb and VRBO for places to stay in addition to hotels if necessary. We want to take in the festival in Edinburgh. What other places should we look at as far as places to stay that would be good places to visit and take day trips from. The less driving the better. A short flight to another location is acceptable. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Here's your first post, so people don't have to start from scratch:

Glasgow could be another base. It also has interesting stuff in the city itself.

Galashiels would be a good base for the Tweed valley. A car would be useful for touring, as may be the case for any base outside Edinburgh and Glasgow.

Generally I would decide what to see and then choose a base accordingly, which is how we chose Galashiels on our trip to Scotland.

These photos might give you some idea of what to see in Scotland:

Using them along with a map might help establish various bases for your trip.

All that (the Borders, Glasgow, etc. etc.) and more was suggested on the previous thread

Of which I had no knowledge.

If it were me, I'd do Edinburgh, the west (Oban? Plockton? Port Appin? Gairloch?) and either Fife OR Perthsire OR Aberdeenshire.

elberko linked it in the first response . . . but the OP may have lost track of <i>this</i> thread as well ;)
