I know how magical it feels when you whisk your partner away to a place straight from a storybook, so I urge you to set your sights on Scotland. You will wander beside mist-shrouded lochs, admire turreted castles, and settle into cozy countryside inns, and I promise each setting heightens romance. I have spent 25 years exploring these routes as a travel writer, and you can trust that my tips come from countless firsthand escapes. You can cruise through the Highlands for scenic splendor, and I suggest pausing by a crackling fire for a whisky tasting that warms both heart and hands. I believe these getaways in Scotland mix dramatic landscapes with timeless charm, and you will treasure every shared moment.

Highlights:

  • I adore booking nights in fairytale Highland castles, and you will feel like royalty there.
  • You can meander along Glencoe and the Isle of Skye’s winding roads, while I whisper where the best photo stops hide.
  • I always slide into a fireside armchair for a whisky tasting, and you should savor a dram beside me.
  • You will lose track of time strolling Edinburgh’s cobbled streets and secret closes, and I relish guiding you down those hidden lanes.
  • I recommend gliding by boat across serene lochs and rugged coastlines, and you will breathe in Scotland’s bracing, salty air with me.
