First solo trip to Scotland – 18yo backpacker, no car, 16 days in July. Is this realistic? Where would you go?
Hey everyone! I'm planning my first ever solo trip and I've chosen Scotland. A bit about me and my situation:
* 18 years old, from South Tyrol (northern Italy)
* Travelling alone for the first time
* No car, public transport only (buses, trains)
* Budget around £600–650 for the whole trip including flights (Milan - Glasgow: Round-trip flight approx. £170)
* 16 days in July
* I love hiking, photography and filming
* Planning to wildcamp as much as possible
My questions for you:
1. Is 16 days solo in Scotland with no car actually doable and enjoyable, or will I constantly feel stuck without a vehicle?
2. What were your personal highlights – places that genuinely blew you away?
3. Any hidden gems or underrated spots most tourists miss?
4. Wildcamping tips for July specifically – midges, best spots, anything I should know?
5. Any honest warnings – things you wish you'd known before going?
Really looking forward to hearing from people with real experience. Thanks in advance!
