Scotland Touring Advice..?

Me and Mrs BT are planning our next road trip, I fancy Oban and beyond.

Any suggestions would be most welcome.

A bit south of Oban, but a couple of nights at the Crinan Hotel on the way up wouldn't do you any harm.

It's not quite as splendid as it looks on the website, a bit of faded grandeur, but it certainly beats a 12 hour shift down t'pit. They do special offers as well occasionally, can make it a bit cheaper.

When I was working for a large company based in Scotland I spent lots of time north of the boarder.

One of the best hotels I have stayed in was Cameron House on the shores of Loch Lomond, but since then it has been rebuilt after a serious fire. It is a Devere hotel so should still be worth considering, especially with its location.

I also liked the Hilton at Coylumbridge, unfortunately I believe it is now a Britannia Hotel, so could have gone exceptionally down market but again the location was fantastic.

Hope you have a great time when you go north of the wall BT,

A tour of one or more of the whisky distilleries can also be recommended.

A tour of one or more of the whisky distilleries is a given V_C! :D

BT, no recommendations except to be very aware of the Poison Dwarf >;)

Don't go,it's cold ,wet and miserable with loads of fog. Full of drunken Scths as well. Stay in and watch all the episodes of Still Game ..much better and cheaper.

In 1974 me and the first wife were lent a caravan in a place called Back of Keppoch near Arisaig, the sun shone like blazes every day for a fortnight, I came back home to Accrington looking like I'd had two weeks in the Bahamas. Happy days Alf. :)

Lucky you, in 1971 I took the brand new Mrs S camping in an idyllic spot just outside Oban. At 10pm on the first night the rain swept in, it still hadn't stopped 36 hours later, so we packed up and went to my sister's in Cramlington where the sun was cracking the flagstones. She hasn't been in a tent since.
