Ireland and then where?

  1. Dublin → Edinburgh.

You could fly…or you could:

*take a day trip to Northern Ireland (Giants Causeway, Belfast, etc,) with somebody like Paddywagon, but not go back to Dublin, or just take the train from Dublin to Belfast;
*either way, you could then either spend the night in Belfast OR go straight on to take the ferry from Larne to Stranrear, Scotland, then
*take the train from Stranrear, and see Burns country from the comfort of a train window (https://www.scotrail.co.uk/scotland-by-rail/great-scenic-rail-journeys/glasgow-ayr-stranraer). You can either
*get to Glasgow (2 hours) and stop for a day/night- it is a seriously underrated city! (One Day in Glasgow: Things to Do, Map & Itinerary) OR go straight on to Edinburgh (4 hours).

  1. Denmark v Scotland- not a meaningful difference in terms of safety, and less of one in terms of cost than there used to be.
