From Edinburgh to Inverness: travel tips
Trading Edinburgh's historical appeal for the beauty of Inverness? Here's how to make your Edinburgh to Inverness transfer flawless and fun as you travel through the heart of Scotland.
Time your journey
Dodge the brunt of the traffic by leaving early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Timing is key as the highways may grow crowded, particularly in peak travel season. Plus, the early morning sunrise in the Scottish Highlands is simply magical!
Plan scenic detours
With a few well-placed stops, your road journey will become an amazing Scottish adventure. Stretch your legs at Glen Coe, the dramatic Highlands setting for films including "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" and "Harry Potter". Alternatively, have a wee dram at one of Scotland's smallest traditional distilleries, Edradour Distillery. Each stop adds a layer of excitement and discovery to your journey.
Prepare for typical Scottish weather
Scottish weather can be erratic, so prepare for dramatic changes. Cool, cloudy summers and cold, rainy winters define Inverness' oceanic climate. It might be stormy and windy, particularly during winter months. Carry a waterproof jacket and layers to remain comfortable, no matter the season.

Go dolphin spotting on the Moray Firth
Go on an exciting high-speed boat tour over the Moray Firth and spot some native wildlife and dolphins. Among the many animals you can see are whales, porpoises, sharks, seals, birds, otters, and the well-known bottlenose dolphins. Spend time on the water racing past well-known feeding sites near Chanonry Point while an experienced skipper offers information on the local wildlife and history.
Visit the Culloden Battlefield
Step into the past at the Culloden Battlefield, the site of the last battle of the Jacobite Rising in 1746. You can learn all about the battle and how it changed Scotland's history at the visitor center. The experience of walking the battlefield brings a strong sense of poignancy and a profound connection to Scotland's past.
Stroll along the River Ness
Take it easy on a stroll along the River Ness if you're looking for a tranquil approach to take in Inverness: parks, little bridges, and picturesque vistas line the riverbanks. Take in the breathtaking stained-glass windows, intricate stone, wood carvings, and stunning architecture of Alexander Ross's Inverness Cathedral.

“Used Daytrip for two rides in Mexico, which were both great. So comfortable, and we arrived at each of our destinations at a great time. Both were incredible drivers, and we felt so safe. One of our drivers, Miguel, also played the best music! Will definitely use Daytrip on our next trip to Mexico.”

20. Feb. 2025Great way to travel and see some sights on the way
“We did not know what to expect with this trip and booked from Australia. We were initially looking for an easy way to travel from Granada to Malaga. We decided not to waste the opportunity to see something additional on our way. Miguel certainly exceeded our expectations. His English was excellent (unfortunately we speak very little Spanish), and he was very friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the regions as we passed through and also discussing some of the local ways. Miguel took us to Antequera as planned and ensured we were able to easily get our tickets to the attractions without any sense of rushing us. We were picked up and dropped off punctually and really enjoyed our trip. Hopefully we will return to Spain and we can use this service again sometime.”

10. Feb. 2025Excellent service
“We used the service twice while in Thailand. Extremely prompt and efficient customer service. Best rate being offered in Chiang Mai for the travels. Polite, punctual, professional and English speaking drivers. Clean, comfortable vehicles. Being a regular visitor to Thailand, this was hands down the best service. Most pleased with the company. I hope it sustains the excellence of service that was rendered to us.”
