Here is the deal. We are planning a trip to the UK from Aug 9-18th and were originally planning to use Edinburgh as our base and site see from there but we have since changed our minds. We are now going to leave London (after a brief stint in Ireland) and fly into Inverness around the 14th and stay for 4-5 nights and see what northern scotland has to offer. We will leave Inverness around the 19-20th and travel by bus or train to Edinburgh for 2 nights before heading back toward Norfolk. The boat trip to see the loch ness monster and the hop on hop off bus tour are a must but is there anything else that we should not miss while there? We are willing to take bus/boat tours to go beyond Inverness for the day. Also, it would be great if anyone could suggest places to stay. There are 3 adults on our party (alot of places only have accommodations for 2/room) and none of us are brave enough to tackle driving since you guys drive on the other side of the road so we will be relying on buses mostly and taxis if needed. Any help would be appreciated!!!
