United Kingdom & Scotland

Romantic Trip to Scotland

London to Edinburgh by train, three days deep in the Highlands and Loch Ness, then back to London for a Nottingham day trip.

7 Nights / 8 DaysDuration

This trip splits its week down the middle , a night in London to start, three nights based in Edinburgh with the Highlands close by, then three more nights back in London with a day trip to Nottingham built in before flying home.

This is one of the UK itineraries we've planned for a couple before , seven nights, eight days between London and Edinburgh, built for 2 adults travelling together. It's shared here to show what a London-and-Scotland trip could look like. A version built around your own dates and pace would look a little different , and that's the point.

Why This Trip

Why Split a UK Trip Between London and Edinburgh

Why Split a UK Trip Between London and Edinburgh

Edinburgh Castle opens the Scotland leg on the first afternoon, followed by two full days out of the city , Glencoe and Loch Ness one day, then Loch Lomond, the Kelpies and Stirling Castle the next, both by small-group tour.

Back in London, a full day covers St Paul's Cathedral, the Tower of London and its Crown Jewels, the London Eye, and a Thames river cruise, before a round-trip train to Nottingham for Nottingham Castle and the streets tied to the Robin Hood legend.

If you asked us: the train links make this trip easier than it looks on paper , London to Edinburgh and back twice, with the Highlands sitting in between, and never more than a few hours between stops.
