Solo participation OK | Full sightseeing tour of the Highlands

The Scottish Highlands are famous for being the setting for the filming of many movies and TV dramas. Harry Potter and, more recently, Outlander are famous for this. Many places are inaccessible without a car, so joining a tour is a good way to get around. Bus tours are highly recommended for solo travelers, as you can sightsee at your own pace without worrying about being alone👍 [Tour itinerary] ❶ Start in Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland. Most tours depart from Edinburgh. There are also tours from Glasgow, so choose a tour that suits your base. ❷ Stop by the photo spot in Glencoe. A scenic spot where the scene of Hagrid's old house in Harry Potter was filmed. ❸ Around Fort William Station It's just around noon, so it's lunchtime. There are souvenir shops here, so you can spend your time however you like. Fort William often appears in Outlander. ❹ Highlight of the tour: Glenfinnan Viaduct The viaduct is famous for that scene in the Hogwarts Express. Unluckily, the train (Jacobite) was out of service on the day I participated, so I couldn't see it, but some tours will bring you there when the train passes by, so check the train schedule before booking your tour⚠️ The view of the hills and the lake was very soothing. If there is time before the next trip, they will stop at a photo spot along the way. I was lucky enough to see a bagpiper playing music🎶 The sight of wild sheep lazing about on the plains was just like the world of Outlander. ❺ Pitlochry Village At the end of the tour, we stop at Pitlochry Village, a good old Scottish village. We didn't have much time, but we spent our time at souvenir shops and cafes☕️ ❻ We returned to Edinburgh. It was around 7pm. It was a long tour of about 12 hours, but we were very satisfied😊 The participation fee was just under 10,000 yen. It was a great deal with so much to see, wasn't it? It's impossible for me to go around everything on my own without a driver's license, so I'm very grateful for this kind of tour. There's a lot of free time, so even solo participants can enjoy it without any problems🫶 #overseastraveltrip #solotrip #solotravel #backpacker #England #Englandtrip #Europetrip #Scotland
