Damn this looks amazing, definitely gonna add it to the list of locations to visit! Places like that were exactly what I was hoping to see ๐Ÿ‘€

Will definitely do! Wanted to get some better gear and do some hiking for a while, great that I now actually have a reason to do it hahah

Thank you!! Love that there are botanic gardens in Edinburgh, I'll definitely have to inlcude them in my plans now hahah Also great tip on packing good waterproof gear. Don't really have any rn and most likely would've never thought about it if y'all wouldn't have mentioned the rainy weather there hahah

This is awesome input, thank you! I'm very inexperienced at hiking, but Walk Highlands looks great to search for easier paths and still get to enjoy it. I'll definitely have to up on my hiking gear

I honestly did underestimate how spread out everything is. People in this thread have already mentioned so many interesting places, seems I'll have to plan a few more trips hahah Thank you for your suggestions as well! Love the idea of going to some of the islands by boat

I haven't quite figured how to get around the place yet, but a bus tour like that honestly sounds great for someone like me who's really bad at driving hahah Thank you for the suggestions!!

Thank you so much! I think now Edinburgh would be a great starting point for my first visit there. But I totally get you when you say you'll need another trip just for the western side, I honestly underestimated how spread out all the cool places are hahah

This place looks incredible, just what I meant when I said I want to enjoy the landscapes there. Thank you!!

 

I'm thinking of taking a holiday in Scotland, but frankly, I have no idea what I'd be doing there (nor have I ever been on holiday somewhere else tbh, so I'd love to do some planning beforehand). I really want to enjoy the nature and landscapes there and I'm sure there must be a few not so tourist-y gems I could plan on visiting.

Previous research has shown that environmental factors affect memory and that information learned in one environment is retrieved better when the retrieval occurs in the same context.

This part made me think about how sometimes "retracing" my steps, going back to the other room, suddenly makes me remember what I wanted to do.

So, not sure how solid that study is, but it's certainly quite an interesting idea, thanks for sharing!
