We\u2019ve all got a legacy, a story, or a family legend (sometimes they\u2019re sitting next to you at dinner) and family travel in Ireland and Scotland is often where many discover the roots of their tale. While every trip with family is bound to make memories, sometimes taking a step back to consider what are the best things to do with grandparents as well can change the schedule.<\/p>

But – when it comes to multigenerational travel, well, diving into your Irish and Scottish heritage in the Celtic Isles is a great way to get closer to your grandparents, your family and most of all \u2013 yourself.<\/p>

Family travel and ancestry tracing on vacation can become a treasured shared memory with private research appointments, visits to ancestral lands and moments in between to connect with the culture, history and people that make our shared heritage special. These are the best things to do in Ireland and Scotland for a family vacation that keep everyone, young and old and maybe just young at heart, happy and connected.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

One of the greatest ways to connect to each other is to find out where you\u2019re from with your Irish ancestry. Kids of all ages, parents and grandparents alike can roam the interactive EPIC Museum in Dublin, where you\u2019ll learn hands-on about Ireland\u2019s greatest export \u2013 its people \u2013 before looking into your own past. We highly recommend planning in advance a trip to the Irish Family History Centre for a personal genealogy deep dive family tracing \u2013 start your trip off right, together.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The battlefield of Culloden in Scotland marks the last stand of the Jacobite Uprising, but also a point of separation for many families from their ancestral lands and a link to their Scottish heritage. Visitors and their families often come to the hallowed grounds and museum to pay their respects, explore the collection and find out the fate of their predecessors or their connections to this part of history.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Are we there yet? Let someone else take the wheel, err, reins for a bit and pile the whole family into a jaunting cart for a ride through parts of Killarney National Park. Here, you can connect with your Celtic heritage in a place where the actual roots run deep. As you gently roll along, you\u2019re going to get up-close views of the forests, lakes and glens, wildlife and perhaps even a castle.<\/p>

Your jarvey, the classic term for carriage driver, knows the history of the area and the vast botanical knowledge of the forest, and your trusty stead knows the way with the navigation. It\u2019s a gentle way to spend your afternoon in Killarney, where your only screen time will be taking photos together.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

All aboard for this activity that is perfect for multigenerational family travel. Get a different perspective, collectively, on something everyone can agree on: The Cliffs of Moher Experience is an absolutely breathtaking sight to behold. These towering icons of Irish heritage in natural phenomena play a significant role in the background in many family photos. On this cruise, you\u2019ll get wildlife sightings like dolphins, seals, puffins and perhaps basking sharks, before circling back to see Ireland\u2019s largest seabird colony at the Great Sea Stack.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
