Honeymoon in Scotland, trip suggestions

[Jack Daw]

You can cover a lot of territory in 3 weeks! We did in 2003. But, I did not go so far north as Orkney. You weren't clear on what time of year you were going, but I would suggest you take light rain jackets and water-proof footwear. I did a lot of tromping about battlefields and other fields and my boots worked well to keep my feet dry. We stayed in B&Bs and, if you are traveling by "hired" car, I suggest you check into your B&B no later than 3:30pm to 4:00pm (unless you reserved in advance), then take time to explore the area.

Also, be careful about eating the "full Scottish breakfast" everyday; otherwise, you will find your trousers tighter by the end of the trip.
