Scotland from Canada — The Two-Week Route Worth the Flight

Week One: The Icons

Days 1-3 Edinburgh: land on the YYZ overnight direct, gentle first day, then the capital in full — Castle at opening, National Museum, Arthur's Seat, a Rosslyn Chapel half-day. Days 4-6 the western journey: Glencoe without rushing, the Glenfinnan steam crossing, Eilean Donan, two Portree nights — Storr at dawn, Quiraing at golden hour, Fairy Pools mid-morning. Day 7: north over the bridge and through Torridon's sandstone giants to Ullapool — the drive Canadians say out-Rockies expectations — with a pause at Loch Broom, where the Hector sailed for Nova Scotia in 1773. For many Canadian guests, that layby is the trip's quiet centre.
