Ultimate Scotland Itinerary | Edinburgh, St Andrews, Inverness, Scottish Highlands + Outlander Stops

Planning a trip to Scotland? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 After 40+ hours of research and planning, I’m sharing my complete Scotland itinerary covering Edinburgh, St Andrews, Inverness and the Scottish Highlands—plus Outlander filming locations, hidden gems, incredible food, hikes, historic sites and practical Scotland travel tips. As a sober traveler and highly sensitive person (HSP), I plan trips a little differently. I love experiencing as much as possible without packing every minute of the day, and I include some of my favorite highly sensitive traveler hacks for navigating crowds, overstimulation, early travel days and busy destinations. This Scotland travel guide takes you from Edinburgh’s New Town and Old Town to St Andrews and the Scottish Highlands, with some of my favorite restaurants, accommodations, gluten-free finds, scenic train travel, a Highland cow afternoon tea and an incredible private Highlands tour with a local Scottish guide and storyteller. We visited Scotland from late April into early May and had beautiful spring weather, mild temperatures and surprisingly little rain. I would absolutely choose this time of year again. If you’re searching for a Scotland itinerary, Edinburgh travel guide, Scottish Highlands itinerary, Inverness travel guide, St Andrews day trip, Outlander Scotland itinerary, sober travel ideas or HSP travel tips, I hope this helps you plan an incredible trip.
