Eastern holiday trip – part 1 – What to do in Inveraray, Scotland!

Hi Guys,

Has been a while, sorry for that! However, I have much new information to share with you.. the trip has been wonderful… We didn’t exactly use the route I posted before.. we made some extra stops.. I’ll post the new route next week.

We left Paisley on Friday at 8.30h with our 1.2 Opel (Vauxhall) Corsa. We were lucky with the rental car.. Arnold Clark had an offer to rent the car for 5 days and pay for 3 of them.

First stop was in Inveraray, beautiful small fishers’ man village. I mentioned it before in the post about castle hopping.. Check out more pictures in the new album on Facebook.

1. Inveraray castle: adult/child - £10/£6.50. Open from 10am-5.45pm April-October.

2. Inveraray Jail: adult/child - £8.95/£4.95. Open from 09.30am-6pm. "At this award-winning, interactive tourist attraction, you can sit on a trial, try out a cell and discover the harsh tortures that were meted out to unfortunate prisoners"

3.Inveraray Maritime museum: The pier: adult/child - £5/£2.50.

Argyll, Inveraray, Oban - Castle Hopping - ROAD TRIP TIP #2 "part 1"

Hi there,

I've been on a road trip this weekend, which was AWESOME! We left Paisley on Saturday at 10.00h, by car and drove up to Loch Lomond, Argyll, Inveraray and had a pit stop in Oban. "Check the picture of Google Maps for the exact route we took" I've highlighted the most beautiful viewpoints. One tip, take this route after the Easter holiday, because a lot is closed between November and March.

Let me show you the way ...

Castle hopping, not something you would normally do... but actually really funny if your acting like a house shopping princess... ;) We've seen so many different landscapes on this tour, I really recommend to put this one on your bucket list.
