Planning a trip to Scotland

So the title says it all.

I'm going to Scotland next summer to hook up with my heritage, and I wanted to know, besides Edinburgh and Glascow, what were the best places to visit? Not the ones in touristic guides, I mean the true beauties that only scottish people know.

Since a majority of you come from there, I hope to get some suggestions.

what wrong jokes?😐😐

okay so you will want to visit Loch Lomond and Loch Ness,

beautiful places🙂

LOCH MODAN!

They're all lakes. Can we swim there?

I forgot to add, I won't be taking any bus. It's all walking arround, possibly sometimes with angry scottish farmers on our tails.

walk around...

Scotland is pretty big😐😂

where are you flying to ?

what airport?

Not sure yet, but probably Edinburgh. Afetr a few days, I'll take a bus to Glasgow. From there, it's all the way north on foot.

(I heard Glasgow people have horrible accents. Hopefully I'll be allright)

Hey, our accents aren't horrible,

a little hard to understand, but not horrible.

just really weird 😂.

you can't go up north from Glasgow on foot😐

it will take you weeks😐

Yes, I planned my trip to 3-4 weeks arround.

i would research your family history a bit more 1st....what's your surname?...if it's a Scottish clan then look up their history and find out where they are from in Scotland and check out the areas

as for general places to visit

Dunnottar castle is amazingly beautiful and has an amazing history to boot

it's like something out of Lord of the Rings

the scene in Braveheart where William Wallace sacks the English garrison was actually at Dunnottar castle

also Oliver Cromwell beseiged the castle and the Scottish crown jewels were lowered over the castle edge to a waiting rowing boat where a woman rowed them to safety at a nearby abbey...the jewels can now be seen in Edinburgh castle

Go to edinburgh castle too,

ghosts and shit

I have a Loch in my last name. So I guess my ancient clan could be associated with a lake.

And that is a beautiful picture.

Mary kings close,

poltergeist central😂

which Loch?

when you get to scotland, you may feel the need to bury your head in the mud or gauge out your eyes and cut off your ears, but that is completely normal and happens to everyone who visits scotland. awehuhs

chances are your families history is from Lanarkshire somewhere around Larkhall south of Glasgow

which, to be honest, isn't the most appealing part of the country...hahaha

HEY😠

but yeah, the south of Glasgow isn't exactly a meadow mhmm

I know I am a descendant of David II, son of Robert the Bruce, and of his lineage... yeah right lol

How do you know I could come from there?.

Go to as many places as you can! I would recommend all of Scotland.
