Hi all,

I'm planning for my driving trip in Scotland and I hope to have the opportunity to cover the northern highlands as well as the central one in 4 days. Here's my itinerary:

10/6: Reaching Edinburgh airport in the night. Pick up our rental car.
11/6: 1 whole day in Edinburgh.
12/6: Driving from Edinburgh to Inverness, through Perth, Loch Tay, Glen Lyon, Loch Ness.
13/6: Planning to go for a cruise at Moray Firth, then head down to Urquhart Castle, then drive through Glen Affric to Lairg, then to To Tongue to Durness and to Ullapool.
14/6: Driving to Fort William, probably with stops at Plockton and Kyle of Lochalsh.
15/6: Spend some time or drive through Glen Coe and head to York
16/6: Tour around York and continue to Nottingham
17/8: Tour around Nottingham and continue to London
18/8: Return the car and fly off from London

May I know if the itinerary is too ambitious? I have read a lot of reviews on Scotland Highlands, hence I hope to have the chance to at least drive through and take in as much sceneries as possible.

Thank you very much for your kind assistance!!!

Warm Regards,
Yen

You will get more responses if you post this on the Europe Forum.

Yes- definitely re-post on the Europe forum (see the "Change Forum" pull down menu)

But just to warn you before you do re-post -- your plan is just about impossible. We'll give you more details why on the new thread . . .

(And is there some specific reason on such a short visit you are including Nottingham?)

Just to give you one idea of the MANY problems: Your plan for June 13 is nearly 300 miles and about 10 straight hours of driving w/o any stops, breaks, meals, photo ops, anything.

see you over on the Europe board . . . .

Oops -- it is <u>more</u> than 300 miles since I didn't factor in the drive down from the Moray Firth after the cruise . . . .

Hi guys, thank you for your suggestions! I have re-posted it in the europe forum!
