Things to Do in Edinburgh and Inverness

[Smurfsarepeopletoo]

Afternoon All, planning on a trip at the beginning of August, the idea is 2 days in edinburgh, and then 4 days in inverness, will be taking the push bikes and the camera, wondering if people could give me some ideas of things I should plan on seeing, or places to go and visit fo a bit of cycling, good spots for photos and some good driving roads.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the suggestions so far, im not planning on interacting with people while I am there, and there is only me and the wife going, so hopefully will be relatively easy to socail distance.

And whilst I appreciate that the locals might not be overly welcoming, I suspect that the people who rely on tourism for their livelyhoods will be extremely welcoming to visitors.

I am hoping that nothing changes in the mean time, however, I live on the edge of the Staffordshire Moorlands, so if all else fails I will do some days out cycling and visiting local driving roads.

You will be more than welcome to come North

BUT

The lockdown rules are different up here It is advised to only travel approx. 5 miles and broadly speaking stay at home

At moment I doubt any guest houses/hotels are open for normal business restaurants and attractions also closed so may be an idea to keep eye on Scotgov page for latest rule/restrictions up here

Enjoy you visit when we are open for business hopefully sooner than later

Thanks, I am keeping an eye on things, we have only booked to stay at premier inn as they allow bikes in the room, we are fairly easy going, happy to spend the evenings sitting somewhere with a nice view, so not really an issue if pubs are busy or still closed.

Not spent alot of time in Scotland, so looking forward to just spending some time taking in the scenery and culture.

Spent a couple of weeks on the isle of Bute a number of years ago, and that was a very enjoyable time.
