Weekend Trips from NYC: 2 Days in Scotland

Scotland might seem far for a weekend getaway, but it’s only a six-hour flight from New York City.

I spent the weekend exploring Glasgow, Edinburgh, and the Scottish Highlands, all without renting a car.

🚆 Getting Around Scotland

No car? No problem. Scotland’s public transportation is so efficient that you can cover multiple cities seamlessly.

-Fly into Edinburgh (EDI) and hop on the Citylink bus or ScotRail to reach wherever you want to go in the country.

-For longer adventures, day tours from Edinburgh make the Highlands completely doable in a single day.

🏰 Edinburgh Highlights

-Walk the Royal Mile

-Visit Edinburgh Castle

-Explore Victoria Street

-Wander Dean’s Village

🏙️ Glasgow Highlights

-Explore the University of Glasgow and wander the Botanic Gardens for free.

-Don’t miss Chaiiwala for breakfast or Bare Bones Chocolate for an afternoon treat.

🌄 Highlands Adventure

If you’ve got an extra day, book a Highlands tour to see:

-Glencoe’s Three Sisters

-Fort William

-Highland Cows

-The Glenfinnan Viaduct, where the Jacobite steam train, aka Hogwarts Express, crosses
