Found a few textile shop owners and loved their yarns. The staff was wonderful and explained their process for making yarn and dyeing it. It was so cute - they owned sheep.
Edinburgh farmers market was the thing to do on a Saturday morning. I was lucky enough to have timed my visit so able to attend. Coffee, breakfast on the go, textiles, the local crafters - I found this wonderful, sweet lady that had a sheep farm and...
Ewingston Shetland Wool
SkyeSkins is the place to visit on the Isle of Skye. This tannery gives a free tour of the tanning process - explains the history and the whole process. Very interesting. Once the tour is completed, the staff then takes you to visit their shop. So...
Skyeskins
Dragonfly Studios - while I didn't make to the shop. I wanted to to - there just wasn't time. I read so much about this cute little shop and wanted to visit. The next time I return to Scotland, it's definitely on my list.

Comforting Foods
I visited this fish & chip shop in Oban. The staff is so welcoming. They will stop and talk to you and share things to do and visit in the area. The food is great too. Fish n Chips are made differently in Scotland. There is less breading and mire...
OBAN FISH AND CHIP SHOP -
This little Tea Garden on the Isle of Kerrera just outside if Oban was a must stop. It was a welcome stop after walking 4-miles around Kerrera. It’s located just before seeing the castle ruins. The food was simple and very tasty. The view of the Is...
Kerrera Tea Garden and Bunkhouse
Awesome! Awesome! Food. Pizza, Fish n Chips, and more. I was visiting and stopped in. It was busy. The workers there were so welcoming. And there is this little ice cream shop right inside where you can get dessert! It’s a fabulous place to stop ...

What to Visit in the Highlands
Oban Distillery - oh wow! Tours of how the whisky is made and a cute little shop. The history of the distillery was fascinating. You can even pull your own whiskey and bottle it to bring is home. This is a must see attraction in Oban.
Oban Distillery
Oh my gosh - the view the castle, the history and walking through the castle was amazing. The history involved in how this castle came about, its fortitude and why this is so famous and still standing is amazing. Well worth a tour and making a day of...
Dunvegan Castle & Gardens
This little gem of an isle is not far from Oban. You take a ferry to get to the isle and walk around. It's a hike to get to the top of the hill and visit the castle ruins, but there is a sweet little lunch spot at the top. Sheep come to visit and wa...
Isle of Kerrera
This hotel was well worth the stay. I'm sorry it was a short stop there. The breakfast is something. The portion are so large it's hard to believe one person can eat all this. I watched people eat and clean their plates. Wow! The breakfast spread wa...
The Perle Oban Hotel in Oban, Isle of Skye
Edinburgh castle is absolutely amazing. The walk is steep but well worth it. Castle Rock as its nicknamed is fitting. The design and structure is incredible. The way the city was built around the castle makes me speechless. Well worth a visit. G...

Booking stays were easy using booking.com. Saved me time and it was easy to work with. Didn’t use it for car rentals as renting cars in Scotland is a bit tricky. Recommend seeking other options for car rentals as it depends on where you are headed ...

On the Isle Skye you will need a ‘car hire’ to get around. Morrisons was the one I used. Easy to work with and they meet you at your arrival spot. The drop off was just as easy. Just be specific that you need a car large enough that will carry you...
