When planning a vacation to Scotland, you need to make sure that you leave your Denver apartments in tip top shape. This means before your trip you should clean your Denver apartments and in preparation for your long trip. It is so much nicer to come home to clean Denver apartments than a messy living area. Once on the plane, you can relax and think about the Scottish whisky you will soon be enjoying.
There’s a lot more to do in Scotland than sip whisky, although there’s plenty of opportunity to do that as well. But as that is often a nighttime activity, it’s good to figure out some daytime activities to work up your thirst in the meantime. Scotland has a great road network, and renting a car to drive around is one of the better ways to experience the countryside. Trains are wonderful if you want to get safely from one place to another, but an automobile allows you to stop wherever a place grabs your interest. And being able to stop and look around, to deeply breathe in the scents of a place, from the salty air to the smell of damp green fields, really helps one to create a lasting memory of a place.
There are countless stops, from the countryside to the city, that merit one’s attention. Far to the south, there is the tiny Gretna Green, long famous for runaway weddings between lovers. Just be sure to duck if you choose to step inside the doorway — it’s quite low! The magical and imposing Ben Nevis to the north is the British Island’s highest mountain, and its highest reaches are often shrouded in mist, making for an ethereal viewing experience. From the indoors to the outdoors, the countryside eventually leads to city life. Scotland’s two major cities, Edinburgh and Glasgow, do not disappoint. In fact, they’re so remarkably European in style and feel that you’ll want to leave Denver apartments, or where ever you live, behind multiple times per year to visit! Edinburgh sports a castle built atop a rocky massif, beneath which a grassy park has been inserted between the craggy rocks and the rest of the city. A pleasant afternoon is whiled away just daydreaming of invading armies attempting to storm the castle from below. From wedding bells to mountains, Scotland has it all.
