    Spot Dolphins By The Isle Of Mull

    From Redditor u/ani_svnit:

    Go to Mull. Dolphin spotting is a luck of the draw depending on whether a pod is visiting the area or not. The Moray coastline has a higher chance of having a pod around, but it is slightly up north (closer to Edinburgh than Mull though). Calgary Bay on the Isle of Mull is a stunning beach.

    See Puffins And Rock Formations On The Coast

    From Redditor u/ani_svnit:

    Dunnet Head/Duncansby Head. (On opposite sides of mainland Scotland's North Coast, the former is great for bird watching, including puffins, and the latter is famous for its off-coast rock formations...)

    Stargazing as far north as possible.

    Leave something at Fairy Shrine at Aberfoyle (my wee nephew loved that; he found a Batman perched on one of the trees).

    Look around a Rennie Mackintosh building.

    Find the Haggis at the Kelvingrove (and convince a tourist or child about the evolutionary adaptation for hills).
