I was born and raised in Scotland. Here are the 7 biggest mistakes I see Americans make when they travel here.

I had a great time in Scotland. 😁 😁 😁


It's common for travelers to spend one or two days in Glasgow and Edinburgh, Scotland's two major cities, before traveling to Loch Ness in the Highlands to catch some of the country's natural scenery. According to Google Maps, it can take up to four hours to travel to Loch Ness from Glasgow or Edinburgh.

But many people don't have the time (or the cash) to make the journey, and that's okay.

A more accessible alternative would be to base yourself in Glasgow, where you won't have to travel far to see lochs and mountains. Loch Lomond is less than an hour's drive from Glasgow and is around 50 minutes from Glasgow via train. Train fares start at £6.20, or approximately $7.38.

I've seen some American friends dress inappropriately for the Scottish weather — you need to prepare for changeable conditions.
