About

The Ultimate Scotland Travel Guide is a daily letter about Scotland — the Highlands and islands, the cities, the castles, the whisky regions and the roads worth the detour.

One short story each weekday morning. Real places, what they cost, how long they take and whether they are worth it. No listicles, no “hidden gems”, no breathless copy.

It is written for people planning a trip, and for Scots and the diaspora who like reading about home.

There is also a book. The Ultimate Scotland Travel Guide is on Amazon — the long version of what this newsletter does daily, with the itineraries, the costs and the wet-weather alternatives written out in full.
