Romantic Scotland Trips & Honeymoon Packages
For couples looking to explore Scotland together, we've found our premium tours hit just the right balance of comfort and adventure. These journeys include special touches like staying in historic hotels and enjoying private whisky tastings at Glengoyne Distillery. The Highland rail tours are particularly romantic - you'll take the famous Jacobite steam train together past mountains and lochs, then ferry across to Skye for boat trips where you might spot dolphins. Couples often tell us they love how these tours mix guided experiences with free time to explore on their own, especially in places like Inverness where you can stroll along the River Ness or find cozy spots for dinner.

What people love about Scotland Tours for Couples
- 2-day Outlander Tour (Small Group)
Jamie was very informative. The trip was so much fun.
- North Scotland, Loch Ness & Orkney - 5 days
I had 2 issues: 1- the tour states that 4nights accomodation were included, however when I got to the last night of accomodation at Lochview Guest House, the manager made me pay £120. She would not provide a receipt since she said that would go to Rabbies Tour group. I will need £120 reimbursement. 2- my emails stated that the operator was “on the go” but my tour operator was actually Rabbies. This made it confusing when I was waiting for the bus initially.
- North Coast & Islands
Friendly, humorous and informative guide. Pretty basic accommodation but they are pretty remote places. Spectacular scenery, interesting places and history.
What our customers ask about Romantic Scotland Trips & Honeymoon Packages
What are the most romantic locations for couples to visit in Scotland?
The Isle of Skye is a favorite spot for couples with its misty mountains and peaceful coastline. You can walk hand in hand through Edinburgh's Royal Mile in the evening, when the medieval streets glow with old-world charm. Loch Lomond's quiet shores are perfect for private picnics and lake views. Many couples love staying at Dalhousie Castle Hotel near Edinburgh - one TourRadar traveler called it "romantic medieval atmosphere perfect for couples." If you head to the Highlands, you'll find cozy spots around Inverness, and the Atholl Palace Hotel in Pitlochry is special with its gardens and old-world feel.
What's the best time of year for couples to visit Scotland?
The nicest weather is from May through September, when temperatures stay between 60-70°F (15-21°C). May is really pretty in the Highlands when purple heather covers the hills. If you're interested in festivals, come in August for Edinburgh's Festival and Military Tattoo. One TourRadar traveler told us, "We visited in June and had perfect weather for romantic evening walks through Edinburgh's Old Town." Winter can be romantic too, from November to February, with nights by the pub fire and snow in the Highlands, though it gets cold at 30-40°F (-1 to 4°C).
What unique dining experiences are available for couples in Scotland?
You'll find lots of special dinner spots in Scotland. You can have a candlelit meal in Edinburgh's Old Town or try private whisky tastings at Blair Athol Distillery. Many tours set up traditional Scottish evenings with private dining and local entertainment. The National Piping Centre in Glasgow does really nice farm-fresh meals, and over on the Isle of Skye, you can find quiet seafood restaurants right by the water. One TourRadar traveler mentioned that "The private dinner at Edinburgh Castle followed by the Military Tattoo was an unforgettable romantic experience."
What's the typical budget needed for a couple's trip to Scotland?
Plan on spending about $400-600 per day for two people, which covers your hotel, meals, and things to do. If you want to stay in castles, that might go up to $800-1000 daily. If you're looking at tour packages, most 7-10 day trips cost between $2,800-5,500 for two people. The Scottish Dream tour, for example, costs around $3,495 per person. A TourRadar reviewer mentioned that "While not cheap, the romantic castle stays and private experiences were worth every penny for our special trip."
Are there good photography opportunities for couples?
You'll find perfect photo spots all over Scotland. Edinburgh Castle looks amazing at sunset, and the Isle of Skye has beautiful misty landscapes. Eilean Donan Castle is probably one of the most photographed spots in the country. The Quiraing on Skye and Glencoe valley are great for dramatic nature shots. Don't miss the Glenfinnan Viaduct (the train bridge from Harry Potter) and Loch Lomond's peaceful waters. One TourRadar couple mentioned that "The ancient castles and Highland landscapes created perfect settings for romantic photos, especially at Dunrobin Castle's gardens."
