I Stayed in a Scottish Castle for my Wedding Anniversary, and It Was Amazing
How you can also check this item off your bucket list
Before the apocalypse hit, my wife and I usually traveled somewhere overseas every year for our anniversary. In 2019 we took a trip to the UK and Scotland, which remains in my mind as one of the best places we have ever visited. Maybe it stands out more because it was the last real trip we got to take. Or maybe it is because we visited Stonehenge. Or maybe it is because on the night of our anniversary, we actually stayed in a Scottish castle.
Whatever the case may be, I have many pleasant memories of that trip, which in many ways felt like an adventure. The biggest piece of advice I can give about taking trips like this, is don’t limit yourself to being confined by the immediate surroundings of your hotel and taking only hosted tours in an attempt to structure your trip around time or safety concerns. The best vacations I have been on, have been the ones in which my wife and I simply rented a car, and drove around the countryside site seeing on our own.
Scotland is such a beautiful country. We took a short plane ride from London to Edinburgh to get there. When we landed at got situated the first thing we did was visit Edinburgh Castle. And WOW. To walk the land and visit…
