Scotland & Ireland

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Scotland and Ireland are two of the North Atlantic's most iconic destinations, united by rugged landscapes, rich Celtic heritage, and legendary hospitality. Scotland draws visitors with its dramatic Highlands, ancient castles, whisky distilleries, and world-class hiking routes like the West Highland Way. Ireland captivates with the wild Connemara coastline, the Cliffs of Moher, vibrant cities like Dublin and Galway, and a pub culture renowned across the world. Together they offer a compelling mix of outdoor adventure, history, traditional music, and some of Europe's most breathtaking coastal and mountain scenery.

Scottish & Irish Dream — Self-Launched: Glasgow to Dublin in 14 Days

A self-launched take on CIE Tours' 14-day coach circuit from Glasgow to Dublin: Kelvingrove and Glasgow's West End, Loch Lomond, Inveraray, Glencoe, the Isle of Skye, Eilean Donan, Loch Ness, Culloden, Pitlochry, Blair Atholl and Glamis castles, St Andrews, Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile, then a ferry hop to Belfast's Titanic museum and onwards to Dublin, Cashel, Blarney, the Ring of Kerry, the Cliffs of Moher and Galway. You'll use Citylink/Scottish Citylink coaches, ScotRail trains, local buses and the Stena Line/Belfast–Dublin Enterprise train instead of a tour bus, with hostel and budget guesthouse beds instead of 4* hotels and self-bookable castle, distillery and museum tickets via GetYourGuide or direct. Faster, more flexible, and roughly a quarter of the tour price — costs are approximate backpacker/mid-budget rates in GBP.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Scotland & Ireland yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn a completely impractical skill from a local — fire spinning, competitive coconut opening, whatever — and become weirdly good at it."
