Lost in Scotland: A July 2023 Tale 2025

In July 2023, Chris and I bid farewell to sunny Prague (where the beer is cheaper than water and the sun always shines… at least it did for us) and swapped it for Scotland, renowned for its whisky, castles, and complete lack of sunshine. We joined our Californian friends, Molly and Kevin, for a week of highland hijinks and urban exploration in Edinburgh.

Our home base for the first three days was an Airbnb on the outskirts of Inverness, nestled in the suburbs next to the wild, misty beauty of the Scottish Highlands. From there, we roamed the land of lochs and legends before heading south to Edinburgh, where we wrapped up the trip with a bit more urban civilization and slightly fewer sheep.

Don’t worry about the “Lost in Scotland” title. We made a few diversions, but this post will keep you on track. We learned from our mistakes.
