Scotland with Kids Itinerary Basics

This Scotland trip itinerary was designed clockwise for several reasons including flight costs, train access, and time at each destination. Because the husband and I had already been to Edinburgh on a cruise port trip, we knew we wanted to spend more time in Edinburgh and exploring Scotland. Also, we were heading south to London for a couple of days after seeing the best cities for kids in Scotland. Edinburgh is closer to London, so I designed a circle starting in Glasgow, heading clockwise up to Skye and Inverness, and finishing in Edinburgh.

Family travel tip: The sneaky reason I picked Scotland for our first international family trip was because the husband didn’t want a language barrier. I sure showed him a way around that. Ha! Make your first family trip abroad a little easier by visiting Scotland with kids… where language is one thing you don’t have to worry about. Once you know success with this first trip, we can move onto something a little more challenging!

Before the family trip to Scotland, I made a rough map of Scotland cities to see how many days we would need a train pass. I then purchased a Scotrail Scotland Travel pass giving us four train travel days within eight days. Additionally, at the time of our trip in 2019, kids ages ranged from six to twelve which saved money on transportation and tickets.

How to Save Money on Scotland Historic Places?

Depending on the size of your family and the ages of your kids, it’s possible you can save a lot of money during your Scotland road trip with kids (and hassle) by getting a Historic Environment Scotland explorers pass. The current (2024) price for a family pass for 2 adults and 3 kids is only 88 euros.

That will cover entrance to a wide list of historic Scotland sites for up to 14 days including Edinburgh Castle, Stirling Castle, and Castle Urquhart in Inverness. Once you have this pass, you may have to book your site visits, so pay attention to that detail. In comparison, the entrance for 2 adults and 3 kids to Stirling Castle alone would be about 60 euros. Another money saving tip is looking for tickets as a family. Don’t just grab the individual adult or child tickets to attractions. When planning a trip to Scotland, we found many places that offered a “family ticket” that saved some money as well.

Favorite Places to Stay in Scotland & UK

After a lot of research for our Scotland road trip itinerary, we stayed at some amazing rental homes in Scotland and the UK. Given the six of us in the family, hotels were not an option, and it was difficult to find any to fit six people. To house a family of six, we would have required two hotel rooms. Might as well stay with more space at a UK vacation rental. The links below take you to the places we called home on our Scotland with kids itinerary.

• Isle of Skye – This very similar to where we stayed; rental Skye croft house on VRBO
• Fort William – Stayed at Glenlochy Nevis Bridge Apartments
• Inverness – Stayed at Glen Mhor Hotel and Apartments
• York – Stayed in this Lovely 3 bedroom apartment in Central York

Day 1 Family Trip Scotland – Flight to Glasgow 

To begin our 10 day Scotland tour with kids, we had to get to Europe. After an overnight flight from the United States and a layover in New York City (of course we got some New York pizza!), the six of us landed in Glasgow exhausted!

Transportation in Glasgow

Glasgow International Airport (GLA) is southwest of the city center. As there is not a train directly from the airport, we took the fifteen-minute Glasgow Airport Express Bus to Glasgow City Centre. From there, we walked with our luggage to our Glasgow rental apartment. While Glasgow does have a metro, we merely walked everywhere during our time in Glasgow.

Three Hours to Explore Downtown Glasgow

With only a couple of hours before shops closed at 5, we took to the streets and wandered over to an always-free (and quick) stop at the Glasgow Gallery of Modern Art. The kids were not impressed with the Andy Warhol soup can and other modern art. They did however enjoy the comedy out front as the Duke of Wellington statue had a traffic cone on its head; it seems it’s been a tradition for several decades.

Additionally, we used an online Glasgow mural map to search for some amazing street art. Free entertainment at its finest. Enjoying the giant wall paintings are excellent free things to do with kids in Glasgow as it also gets them walking further and gives you a reason to see more areas. Think of it as a giant treasure hunt while visiting Scotland with kids.

---

Day 2 Family Vacation Scotland – In Glasgow 

The second day of traveling to Scotland with kids meant exploring Glasgow. With seventeen free museums in Glasgow, you don’t have to worry about purchasing tickets ahead of time. Look at your map and pick some that offer a variety and are close to your house.

Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum

Drawn by the promise of the Kelvingrove free organ recital everyday at 1 PM, we headed to Kelvingrove Art Museum. During our quick family visit as a cruise stop years ago, there had been a quick drag through the museum for no reason other than to see Salvador Dali’s huge painting “Christ of Saint John of the Cross”. It’s a shame that’s all I remember from our first trip to Glasgow because it’s a huge building of 22 galleries and hundreds of works spanning Ancient Egypt to modern art.

But what do the husband and I remember this time? The huge floating art exhibits of floating heads hanging from the ceiling. This will definitely help you remember which museum this was.

Glasgow University

After Kelvingrove, it’s a lovely 0.6 mile walk over to Glasgow University past the River Clyde. Even though it has impressive stats like being founded in the 15th century and being the fourth oldest university in the English-speaking world, my reasons were simpler. It’s arched areas were the sight of filming for Outlander, and the central grassy courtyard will definitely bring back some Harry Potter and Hogwarts vibes. Make sure you look back toward Glasgow for a beautiful view when you’re finished admiring the beautiful architecture of this Scottish university.

Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery –

Let’s head to another free museum while at Glasgow University. The Hunterian Museum, a free small university museum full of science and natural history, is the oldest museum in Scotland. This open floor museum is two stories houses more than a million items. There is even a room of Roman artifacts. This is a good way to spend an hour or two and know you saw something memorable.

In addition, there are an art gallery, anatomy museum, and zoology museum scattered around the University of Glasgow. Don’t stop with just the main building.

Day 3 Visit Scotland with Kids – To Fort William 

Day three of Scotland travel with kids took us on our first train ride. After a quick breakfast at McDonalds, our family trooped over to the Queen Street Station to start day one of Scotland train travel from Glasgow to Fort William on the West Highland Line; this is the same line that continues to Mallaig for the ferry to Skye.

Transportation in Fort William

These four hours on the train to Fort William took us past moors. There were no stops along the way. After an afternoon arrival in Fort William, we walked half-a-mile to our Fort William vacation rental. It was a confusing walk over to the nearby house rental (because of the roundabout and fences around the train station), but we finally made it to the apartment.

The town of Fort William houses about 5,000 people. While there are some taxis, you won’t find a metro or subway to get into town.

Where to Stay in Fort William

Glenlochy Nevis Bridge Apartments – This multi-bedroom apartment was perfect for our one night vacation rental in Fort William. However, with the full kitchen, this would be a great Fort William hotel to stay longer and explore Scotland’s tallest mountain. Only a mile from the train station, just grab your bags and go for a walk; no need for a taxi here. Check out this link to head directly to the Glenlochy Nevis Bridge Apartments.

Explore Fort William

This outdoor capital of Scotland is close to Ben Nevis (the highest mountain in the whole UK) for climbing and is located on the water for water adventures. However, we only had a couple of hours to wander the cobblestone town, peek into Saint Andrew’s church, eat fish and chips, and watch families play on the green. It was a quick stay to get on the Jacobite Train in the morning to head to the Isle of Skye.

---

Day 4 Scotland Itinerary – Train & Ferry to Skye 

Now for the favorite part of our trip to Scotland with kids – the Isle of Skye! Our family trip to Skye started with a return walk back to the Fort William train station where we grabbed a quick breakfast. An hour after boarding the train, we arrived at Mallaig Harbor.

There is not a direct train ride over to the Isle of Skye. If coming in from the south, continue the rest of the West Highland Line over to Mallaig where you will get on the Mallaig-Armadale ferry.

Train Ride to Mallaig

The Fort William train ride is the same as with the more expensive Jacobite Steam Train. Both rides leave from the Fort William train station and follow the exact same tracks. The only difference is the actual train you get on; the “regular” train is still a nice train like you would find elsewhere in Scotland. Check out the Fort William-Mallaig train tickets here.

True Harry Potter fans know that the famous Harry Potter train ride on the Hogwarts Express goes over the famous Glenfinnan Aqueduct. This is what Harry sees on the way to Hogwarts in the first couple of movies. Prepared parents would have booked early and done this trip differently. (You can even arrange a trip to Glencoe, Scotland where Hagrid’s Hut still stands.)

If you book tickets for the Jacobite Steam Train, it is definitely an experience, more expensive, and harder to book because the train. This beautiful ride is not just for Harry Potter fans, but our Easter weekend travels were too early in the season to get tickets.

Whether you get the specific Harry Potter train or just the regular train, both go on the same track over the famous Glenfinnan viaduct as seen in the movie. The views out the window are beautiful so make sure you get a good window seat.

Isle of Skye Ferry Ride

With three ferry options to get to Skye from mainland Scotland, we took the 45-minute the southern route crossing from Mallaig to Armadale on the Isle of Skye. In Mallaig, walk only 100 yards from the train to the CalMac Ferry. While you wait for the ferry departure, walk around the harbor and enjoy looking at all the boats. We saw our first seals in the ocean right here swimming around the boats. With your luggage, you simply walk on as a passenger. We ended up on the uncovered top deck while the cars were below. It was windy and chilly so prepare ahead of time.

Check out the CalMac schedule online to time your arrival and purchase tickets.

Driving and Car Rental for Isle of Skye

As previously arranged online, we were met at the Armadale Ferry with our rental van from . We would be using this to drive around Skye until returning it back on the mainland in Inverness. Cars are pretty much an essential for exploring Skye. This was also one of the hardest parts of my Scotland trip planning; finding an automatic car that would meet us on Skye and be enough for six people. (I still haven’t learned to drive a standard!)

Driving in Skye can be tricky if you’re not used to it. Not only are you now driving on the right side of the car, but many of the roads are only one lane. There will be little pull outs. Given that the terrain is pretty open, most of the time you will see a car coming from a distance, so then you play a game with the oncoming car – or tourist bus! – to see which car will stop and let the others pass. Train past lots of rock and lookout and waterfall.

We used Turner Hire Drive is that helps you make your plans. Check all the details about picking up our rental van for driving around the Isle of Skye here.

Stay: Isle of Skye Rental House

When considering a location to stay in Skye, you need to realize that there will be lots of driving no matter where you choose because it’s pretty much a big circle road. Don’t be deceived by the fact that it’s only a fifty mile drive around Skye; it’s not fast. Our croft cottage was everything we wanted with a view out over the Waternish Peninsula. Seriously, I may have gotten teary leaving it after only two days.

Our Skye stay during our Scotland family trip was near the tiny town of Hallin on the Waternish Peninsula. Although I can’t find a direct link to our Skye rental house, this rental Skye croft house on VRBO looks pretty close and equally amazing.

On the way to our house, we stopped in the tiny town of Portree for a meal and a wander. Another thing to understand about Skye is that all the little towns are… little. Tour busses come over for the day from the mainland and Inverness and make things crowded. You’ve been warned.

Day 5 & 6 Scotland Family Vacation – Exploring Skye 

Do yourself a favor and don’t plan your days exploring the Isle of Skye. Pull out a map of Skye, fill up the car with gas, grab some snacks and water, and just drive. When you see people pulled over on the side of the road (which you will), go with them. There’s a cliff or a waterfall waiting to be seen. That’s as scientific as these needs to be.

There are more amazing places to uncover than you have time for. Try to aim for a nature thing and a history thing. The rest of the time you will just be driving and pulling over when you see other cars doing the same thing. There are pretty views everywhere.

Dunvegan Castle and Sights

Our ticketed adventure during our first full day on Skye was exploring Dunvegan Castle. You don’t need to book at ticket to explore the castle and gardens in advance; just show up. An additionally pull of Dunvegan Castle was the promise of seals out on the rocks. Although we didn’t take a Dunvegan seal tour, we could see some while the kids enjoyed climbing all over the rocks. It was a wet, slippery Scottish day, but it didn’t keep them from exploring.

~~~> If for some reason you don’t see seals at Dunvegan (which I don’t know why you wouldn’t) or just want to see even more, make sure you leave time to check out Callum’s Seal Trips in Portree to go see several colonies of seals. It’s one of my five “Awesome Family Nature and Animal Activities in Scotland”.

The Fairy Pools of Skye

It’s possible the best place to visit in Scotland with the family is on Skye at the Fairy Pools. Located in Skye’s Black Cuillen mountain range, this magical day of exploring will follow the river to various crystal-clear pools of water that your kids will want to explore. There is no payment for entering, but you do have to pay a small fee to park. Even though this is a big tourist draw in Skye, there’s plenty of room to spread out as people go off adventuring. Don’t worry about seeing “all” the pools or even hiking to the top of the gravel trail.

• Go without expectations. We spent two hours alone at one of the pools, so just relax and linger.
• Don’t forget the water and snacks. You’re going to be away from a town and there is no store or anything on site.
• Bring dry clothes (because you know the kids will get in) and a towel. This is not a “change in the bathroom” kind of adventure. If they get wet, they’ll change clothes in the wild and do the best.
• Park yourself away from others if possible. Extra clothes are optional and many (including my monsters) merely stripped down to their underwear and got in.

~~~> More details about our trip to Isle of Skye’s Fairy Pools can be found here.

Dun Beag Broch

Remember the rule while exploring the Isle of Skye and all of Scotland. If you see something cool and old, you pull over to see it. When you drive past Dun Beag Broch, when you see a sign and a parking lot (even if it’s empty), you go see it. Especially when it’s an old “broch” and you know that word from Outlander. (Sigh, Jamie.) A broch is a prehistoric circular stone tower. Or in this case, what is left of it.

• Park the car across the street from Dun Beag Broch.
• Read the sign telling the history of the broch.
• Don’t pay anything because it’s free.
• Say hi to the sheep often grazing in the surrounding fields.
• Climb up the broch and let your kids climb and explore to their hearts content.
• Look out for the view over the pastures and toward the mountains.

Day 7 Family Travel Scotland – To Inverness 

How to Get to Inverness

We took a car from Skye to Inverness and drove it on our day adventure to Aviemore. To continue heading south to Edinburgh, we took the train from the Inverness Railway Station to Stirling and on to Edinburgh. Once you arrive in Inverness, the best way to get around Inverness is walking everywhere. It’s a another great Scottish town for wandering by foot.

Where to Stay in Inverness?

The two night vacation rental in downtown Inverness, Scotland was a perfect location, right along the River Ness. Glen Mhor Hotel and Apartments offers normal hotel rooms as well as spacious, completely outfitted apartments. This was perfect for our family and an easy walk along the river into downtown Inverness after arriving.

To get back to downtown, it’s a lovely walk along the river. Watch out for seals along the way! It’s only a half-mile-walk to the Inverness Station when your family travel Scotland moves to the next destination.

What to Do in Inverness, Scotland? 

After dropping out bags at our apartment, we walked back along the flowering River Ness to explore and watch for seals in river. We didn’t have time to do much but discover Zizza’s pizza for supper – a chain of which we still speak. And wander a cemetery. This is a small town I would like to go back and explore – and not just for its Outlander connections!

Plockton Seal Adventure

Before you get to Inverness, I recommend you stop in Plocktown for another animal adventure in Scotland. It’s two hours west from Inverness, so make sure you do this while on the road to Inverness. As our previously scheduled Isle of Skye water adventure was unexpectedly cancelled by the tour group, I was on a mission to find a replacement. And I found a good one. Right off the road to Inverness is the tiny town of Plockton. And a boat to take you to the seals! Read all about Callum’s seals in Plockton here; it was an excellent Scottish animal adventure.

You’ll head out in your boat to see the sights not far away. The captain knows where the seals live, can tell you about their habits, and will entertain you on the way over. This colony of seals (or several colonies) will just lounge on the rocks while you just watch from the boat. Too cool.

Make sure you stay to wander the little town of Plockton, grab an ice cream, and let the kids play for a bit on the rocky shore before heading back in the car to finish the drive to Inverness.

Loch Ness, Urquhart, and Corrimony Chambered Cairns

If you’re driving from Isle of Skye through Kyle of Lochalsh, it makes sense to see these stops on the way to Inverness as the way during this part of your family travel Scotland.

Urquhart Castle along Loch Ness (yes, as in the Loch Ness Monster) is a must see stop near Inverness. If you don’t have included entry with a Historic Scotland Explorer Pass, grab yours at the online Urquhart Castle ticket website ahead of time. Watch a short introductory film at the beginning and head over to the ruins of Urquhart Castle. Take time to allow the kids to explore the shores of Loch Ness and let the kids look for Nessie. There are some kid-focused castle activities within the ruins as well. Only 30 minutes from Inverness, this is an easy trip after settling into your Inverness hotel.

Corrimony Chambered Cairns is a free sight of mystery and history. Walk among the circle of standing stones that dates back 4000 years similar to the Clava Cairns you can visit closer to Inverness. This one is different as you can walk through a small, stone tunnel to get into the circular opening inside.

Clava Cairns and Culloden Battlefield near Inverness

Close to Inverness, these next two sites are right next to each other. Your day driving from Skye will be too busy to fit this in with the Plockton and Inverness adventures. We did these two after a morning with the reindeer in Avienmore.

Clava Cairns is an ancient site located only minutes away from Culloden. Although in Outlander (yes, talking about it again), Claire “goes through the stones” right near Culloden, these are not the ones. They’re still super cool to look at though! It’s a free stop without time restrictions.

Culloden Battlefield is famous in the history of the Scottish uprising and in the highlands, Culloden is a must-see for any history buffs. We arrived at Culloden Battlefield without much time before it closed at 18:00. While I have definitely brushed up on my Jacobite uprising history thanks to my favorite Scottish historical fiction story, I knew the kids didn’t care enough to wander the battlefield or read about it. I might have only been there to “see” the Fraser monument. Shallow, right? 🙂

Okay full confession. Even though there is an official entrance with the Culloden Visitor Centre and museum, I went around the side quickly to the battlefield. There wasn’t a big fence keeping me out. I just slightly cheated the system a bit. I saw the Fraser Clan stone, wandered through a little replica cottage, and just looked out over the expanse of the flat battlefield. Of note, Dunvegan Castle where we visited in Skye, also has some Jacobite lore. If you’re into that part of history, don’t overlook that stop.

Day 8 Scotland Travel Itinerary – Aviemore Reindeer Trip

Although we stayed in Inverness for two nights, one of these days was spent on a car trip to see animals and history. Driving our rental car was the best way to get to see the reindeer in Aviemore. It would have been too difficult by train because it’s not close to the train track. And how many places in the world can you go hang out with reindeer? It was worth another day’s car rental.

Aviemore and Cairngorm Mountains

The Cairngorm Mountains are a beautiful area of Scotland ready for a Scottish family outdoor adventure. After driving an hour southeast from Inverness, we arrived in Aviemore with enough time for a quick breakfast at a cute cafe. Aviemore, Scotland is another cute little town that the outdoorsy, exploring, mountain-loving part of me would like to go back and explore. Cairngorms National Park is the UK’s largest national park, and I only saw it from the window of my car.

Cairngorms Reindeer Center

Reindeer and Scotland – you know this was going to be an essential nature adventure in Scotland. This Inverness day trip continues to be one of our Scotland excursions that we talk about to this day. After meeting some reindeer at the center, we waited for our group tour to take a short guided hike up into the Cairngorms to meet the local reindeer herd. Check out all the details about the animal excursion with Cairngorm Reindeer Herd.

---

Day 9 Scotland Trip – Stirling & Edinburgh

As we didn’t have another day on our train pass and were eager to get to our final Scotland with kids destination, Stirling was a only day trip on our way to Edinburgh. With the Inverness to Edinburgh train traveling right through Stirling, it would an easy day trip. (This is when I once again admit that I know nothing about Stirling Castle other than being mentioned in Braveheart.)

Storing Luggage in Stirling, Scotland

As the Stirling train station doesn’t have baggage storage, we dropped off our luggage for the day at Willy Wallace Hostel across street from station before heading to the castle. (Sadly, it looks like this hostel closed because of Covid.) Other options that exist now with Radical Storage or Stasher. If you’ve never used a luggage option like this, it may be a dedicated building or a store that keeps your bags in the back. You can read reviews of the places online. The castle doesn’t have a storage option, so this is your best bet.

Stirling Castle

Stirling Castle can be reached by walking half-a-mile from Stirling station near the city center. Stirling does have busses and Uber, but we opted to walk. Of note, it is an uphill walk to Stirling Castle, so prepare for lots of walking. Stirling is one of the castles included on our Historic Pass, but here’s the link to Stirling Castle tickets if you don’t have a pass.

Church of the Holy Rude

Still an active church located next to Stirling Castle, take a free quick trip into the Church of the Holy Rude. This historic church is more than 600 years ago and the 1567 site of the coronation of Mary Queen of Scots infant son, King James IV of Scotland. That fact makes it the only standing Church in Scotland where a coronation occurred. After your church visit, take time to wander the historic stones of the attached cemetary.

---

Day 10 to 11 Exploring Scotland – Edinburgh Trip

We all loved Edinburg during our Scotland family vacation, but there is more to do in Edinburgh than can be seen in three days. There were lots of different options on the pass, but three days would be enough. After this, we were off to London for a couple of days and just couldn’t stay forever.

Where To Stay in Edinburgh

We stayed near Holyrood Palace in an apartment on our family trip to Scotland. I can find the exact listing, but it was a great location close to Arthur’s Seat; we walked the trail through the park to get to Historic Edinburgh every day. I do like the looks of this three-bedroom Holyrood area apartment though; read the reviews and decide. Or this Edinburgh apartment is right in historic area! Remember that even though you might have to pay a bit more to stay near the Royal Mile, the convenience of merely walking into the town is worth it (to me).

Transportation in Edinburgh

Getting around Edinburgh, Scotland involved a lot of walking. We did get a taxi once – to go see a very important showing of the new Avengers movie. (Not my idea! 🙂 ) While there are busses, we didn’t use them this trip.

The only time we took Edinburgh public transportation was on a day trip. One of the highlights of our three days in Edinburgh was a quick thirty-minute day trip by train to North Berwick. The reason for the train adventure was to see the puffins at the Scottish Seabird Center; read all about this Scotland animal experience at this other UK travel post. It really is a great little Edinburgh adventure.

What to Do in Edinburgh, Scotland

During our family trip to Edinburgh, we saw lots of history, churches, and museums. Honestly, I wish we had more time to explore, as there were a lot of places on my list that we didn’t get to. There are so many amazing free places in Edinburgh including the giant St. Giles Cathedral, exploring the Royal Mile, and the Scottish National Gallery. Edinburgh deserves a whole post of its own because there is so much to see here. It’s a great city that could take a whole week.

Holyroodhouse Palace and Grounds

We used our historic pass for entrance into Edinburgh Castle (tickets here), but my favorite place in Edinburgh was Holyrood at the other end of the Royal Mile. Grab your tickets to see Palace of Holyrood, Holyrood Abbey, and the Holyrood Museum; it’s not on the other pass. Holyrood Palace is the official residence of the palace of the UK monarch, and a beautiful 16th century palace to tour with your self-guided audio tour. The ruins of the abbey date back 1000 years and are amazing to wander; this is included in the ticket to the palace. Make sure you plan to save some time to wander the Holyrood gardens while traveling to Scotland with kids.
