The time is upon us for our fourth trip to Scotland. With it comes our fourth blog given the unimaginative title of Malcolms in Scotland 23.
Our first trip focused mostly on Fife. Malcolminscotland.blogspot.com.
Our second trip took us to Skye and the Oban and the western islands. Malcolmsinscotland2.home.blog.
Our third trip took us to the Fife trail and then Aberdeen. Malcolmsinscotland22.wordpress.com.
This year the focus will be central Scotland and the northern coast. We depart Tuesday May 2nd and fly from Tulsa to Boston. From there we board the Air Lingus flight from Boston to Dublin Ireland. That flight is roughly 6 hours and the 6 hour time difference kicks in. We will arrive in Dublin very early in the morning.
From there it is a short flight to Edinburgh Scotland. We will not linger in Edinburgh this time, but will take a shuttle to Glasgow mid-day. We spent some time in Glasgow on an earlier trip and felt it was time to explore it at our leisure as is our way.
We will explore Glasgow until Saturday and then move our base of operations north to Inverness. The plan will be to travel up through the middle of the highlands by train. This trip will not take us on the picturesque viaduct shown below and it will be a modern train, not the cool Jacobite steam train, but we thought you might enjoy the picture.
We will spend a week in inverness. The highlight of that stay will be a 3 day tour of the northern coastline which is commonly called the NC 500.
The first real post will be Tuesday as we depart early for Boston then on to Glasgow via Dublin and Edinburgh.
