What I Packed: We went at the end of March and decided to take a few of our lightweight rain coats and some layering pieces! I wore leggings, vests, my hokas and hiking shoes most of the time. We wanted to explore most of the time, so I made sure to bring these comfortable, waterproof clothes. It tends to rain from time to time, so it was best to have a light jacket with a hood. I packed a few outfits for the city, but I brought a pair of my “dressy” sneakers to go with just about everything! I wore jeans and a cute top most of the time.
For makeup, I have a whole reel on Instagram sharing the makeup bag and makeup I took in my carry-on. It was PERFECT for our road trips since I did my makeup most of the time in the car.

I recommend packing a few light outfits in a carry-on and some skin and body travel items in case your luggage gets lost like ours. Mine arrived on the third day and Davis's didn't arrive until the fifth day.
Itinerary:
Landing at Edinburgh Airport
Car Rental Pickup – We drove our own car until we arrived in town, then parked and walked most of the way! FYI, you drive on the left and there are a lot of roundabouts haha
I headed straight to Falkland where the Covenanter Hotel is located (Outlander fans this one for you)
Then we went straight to Inverness to sleep and get ready for the next day (it's about a 3 hour drive)
March 21-23
Inverness:
Saint Andrews Cathedral

Xoko for breakfast is good in Inverness! Get the cinnamon roll. It's incredible.

Clava carins (a short drive after the battlefield) Nice place to see
The arched bridge is located near the Clava carins and offers a nice view.
After that we headed to Dunrobin Castle and unfortunately it was closed! Opened April 1st. a must in my opinion. It's absolutely beautiful.
