Après avoir découvert des lieux de tournage de Outlander, nous partons en direction de GlenCoe pour randonner à la Lost Valley des « Three sisters » (Coire Gabhail), sur les conseils de Kikimagtravel. 1h de route plus tard, nous voici au Luib hotel, une vieille auberge du 16ème siècle. L’endroit est au bord d’une route très calme. C’est une expérience vraiment sympa ! La salle à manger qui sert aussi de bar a une ambiance rustique, très écossaise. Le matin nous mangeons un full scottish breakfast (photo au-dessus), qui nous cale bien pour le reste de la matinée. À GlenCoe, avant la randonnée Lost Valley, les « Three Sisters » Nous découvrons émerveillés le point de vue « Three Sisters » sur un ensemble de montagnes, hyper photogénique.

Quand partir ? Nous avons réalisé ce road trip au mois d’août, la période la plus chargée au niveau touristique (notamment sur Skye). J’avais vraiment peur de la pluie, puisque c’est la saison la plus pluvieuse, mais au final, passé les 2 premiers jours où nous été effectivement pas mal arrosé, nous avons été assez chanceux sur le reste du séjour. J’ai trouvé que c’était une bonne période pour visiter le pays car tout est bien vert et la lande en fleurs donne vraiment beaucoup de charme aux paysages. L’été est également la période la plus chaude même si je ne vous cache pas que je ne suis jamais sortie sans pull ni veste. Si vous voulez éviter la pluie, le printemps semble également être une bonne période, plus sèche et avec des températures qui remontent. La nature commence à éclore, c’est donc d’après moi un bon compromis ! Les fameux « midges » : doit-on en avoir peur ? Conduire en Écosse Voilà un sujet qui nous faisait vraiment peur avant de partir.

Sure, you can catch a flight, but then you end up missing out on all the scenery between each train station.

You can take the car, but being stuck on a twisting single-land road behind a maddeningly-slow lorry isn’t exactly a stress-free way to see the country (hence the reason I wrote a guide about Travelling Around Scotland Without a Car).

Road Trip en Écosse dans les Highlands : itinéraire de 10 jours - Aux boubous du monde. Il y a environ deux ans, nous avions passé un superbe week-end à Édimbourg, la capitale de l’Écosse. Et bien que nous ayons adoré la ville, nous étions un peu frustrés de ne pas avoir le temps d’en sortir et d’aller au-delà des collines alentour qui nous faisaient de l’œil.

Nous nous étions promis de revenir au pays du kilt afin d’explorer les célèbres highlands en road trip.Après l’achat d’un magazine Géo où ils parlaient (entre autres) de la North Coast 500, une route dans la partie nord de l’Écosse, avec des photos sublimes, lorsque nous avons décidé notre prochaine destination pour nos vacances, notre choix a été rapide : un road trip en Écosse, avec les highlands et le nord ! 🙂 J’ai passé pas mal de temps à organiser ce séjour, car nous voulions faire un road trip, donc bouger (presque) tous les jours (l’expérience nous a appris qu’il faut essayer de prendre parfois un logement pour 2 nuits d’affilés, histoire de ne pas être constamment dans le speed).

Edinburgh: Indian Restaurant on St Andrew Square. BOMBAY, MARCH 1923. Botanist, ecologist, and all-round man of the people Patrick Geddes reclines on a long-armed rattan chair.

An unruly mop of hair sits atop his wide forehead, which is etched with many lines. We find him in the J.N. Petit reading room, in that second of clean consciousness that comes with waking. The muffled din of the street and the gentle whir of ceiling fans fill the quiet room. He observes the marble-topped tables lined with many varied visitors: students, curious readers, elderly men poring over periodicals in English, Marathi, Hindi and Gujarati, while a handful of others are quietly nodding off. And amongst them sits Geddes, a big-hearted Scot of excitable character.

His early days in Bombay were spent humbly, wandering the streets. Nepalese and Indian restaurant - Gurkha Cafe & Restaurant. Fishers Restaurants award winning fish and seafood.
