What to see in Scotland in less than 4 days?

We are flying into Dublin for 8 days and want to also see Scotland and England, how should we go about doing?

  • Is it worth it?

  • Answer:

    Firstly, ignore the comments about visas - US tourists don't need visas for either Ireland or the UK. Secondly, I was in Dublin for 4 days a couple of weeks ago, so you need to consider whether you're planning to spend enough time to see everywhere. Thirdly, consider how you're going to cross the Irish Sea (not the North Sea, that's the other side of the UK - Angel's geography is amiss). There are lots of cheap flights from Dublin to London, but the airlines especially Ryanair are notorious for adding on extra charges for everything you can think of, and not being generous with their baggage allowances. If you've got a lot of baggage you may prefer to go by ship and train - Dublin to London costs €40 one way but does take nearly 10 hours. London to Edinburgh or Glasgow takes around 4.5 hours by train, get cheapest tickets by booking in advance and travelling on particular trains.

You will have to cross the North Sea by Ferry to England, or Fly out of Dublin to England, ( Manchester or London ) Then fly from England to Scotland, or travel by Train, up to Scotland.

You will be very tight for time. Arrange flights between Dublin and Edinburgh and Edinburgh to London and then back to Dublin. In eight days you won't have time to spend more than a couple of days in each country so you will probably be best sticking to the capital cities. Don't waste time with ferries, you will lose whole days just travelling and seeing nothing but sea and ports. Ignore the comments about visas. American citizens don't need visas to enter Ireland or the UK as visitors. Just make sure that you have onward travel tickets and enough money to fund your stay.

There's plenty of flights from Dublin to Scotland and England. Check out Aer Lingus, BMI and Ryanair. You don't need any visas, your passports are ok for visiting.

I would check with your US Embassy in each of the countries you want to travel to within the UK, Eire (Dublin) Scotland (Edinburgh) and England (London) you may only need a visa when you fly into Dublin from the US and then im sure you will be able to travel between the other UK countries on your US passports.But im sure the US embassy will give you the travel info you need to travel within the UK. Try this link there may be some useful information here http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_1052.html

Did you get a suitable visa ? If you're not EC citizens then you cannot even cross the unguarded border into Northern Ireland. The rest of the UK and the EC is also a no-go. A bit more detail please if you want a fuller answer.
