Today we are joined by Lynne Neiman, host of the Wander Your Way podcast and experienced travel planner. Lynne takes us on a captivating journey through Scotland's diverse landscapes, from the rugged Highlands to its 94 inhabited islands with pristine beaches. She shares insights from her multiple extended stays in Scotland, revealing why this northern country has completely stolen her heart. 

Scotland offers extraordinary diversity in a relatively compact country. Lynn's exploration of the Scottish islands – from the popular Isle of Skye to the less-visited Lewis and Harris, and the enchanting Isle of Mull – showcases their distinct personalities and jaw-dropping natural beauty. Her description of single-track roads winding through Mull's dramatic terrain perfectly captures the adventurous spirit required to truly experience Scotland's remote corners.

Beyond the landscapes, Lynn illuminates the soul of Scotland through its people, traditions, and unexpected pleasures. The surprisingly excellent food scene (fresh salmon, venison, and spectacular berries), the warmth of locals who strike up conversations on hiking trails, and cultural celebrations like Hogmanay all create what Lynn describes as moments that "give you all the feels." 

For those planning their own Scottish adventure, Lynn offers practical insights on accommodations (book early, especially in remote areas), transportation (rent a car for maximum flexibility), and ideal regions to explore based on your interests. Her small-group tours through Wonder Your Way Adventures, including a Scotland itinerary planned for 2026, promise the authentic, immersive experiences that have made her fall deeply in love with this extraordinary country.

Whether you're drawn to misty mountains, windswept islands, historic castles, or simply the promise of connecting with one of the world's friendliest cultures, this episode will have you dreaming of Scotland long after the conversation ends.
