Road Trip to Scotland 2026

We embarked on an extended road trip through North East England, Edinburgh, Loch Lomand, Fort William, Isle of Skye, and Loch Ness …. and onward!!!

Day 1-4 – 24th Sept to 27th Sep

Three days on the boat, on the way to our trip with the first stop Ainderby Steeple, near Northallerton.

Days 5-6 – 28th to 29th Sep

The first day was spent tending to the graves in Northallerton, followed by some shopping in Northallerton:- Betty’s, Lewis and Cooper, Boyes, and of course, some charity shops. The weather was fantastic.

Day 2 was spent in York. We visited the York Museum which was full fo Roman and Viking artefacts. This was followed by the inevitable boat trip on the Ouse.

Day 7 – 30th Sep

We travelled the short distance from Ainderby Steeple to our next Airbnb via Shotley Bridge to see my cousins, Marilyn (and Chris) and Vivienne. We had a lovely time remeniscing over a nice lunch.

Our next Airbnb was in a refurbished barn on a farm and was brilliant. Lovely views, excellent specs and very comfortable.

Day 8 – 1st October

Beamish (the living museum of the North) today. A great visit in fasntastic hot weather. Tram and bus rides, cinder toffee, real ale, and loads of old shops. What a great day out.
