I've spent several days reading ### posts on Scotland and the more I read, the more I want to see everything, and now I'm very confused as to where to go for the 8 days we have unscheduled in Scotland! Please help!
Background: My mom and I have 3 weeks booked in the UK starting Sept 5th. We fly into Edinburgh and spend 3n/2 days there, la quinta inn airport north then on the 8th we'll take a train/bus or taxi to Glen Coe where we have a week's hiking holiday booked. Then we have an unplanned week for touring Scotland before we need to take the train to London on the 23rd. The question is what to do for said week?! honeymoon cruise la quinta inn airport north Skye has been recommended over and over again, honeymoon cruise so that's very interesting honeymoon cruise to us. I could possibly rent a car in Ft. William (?) on the 15th and drive to the island and spend 2-3 nights, and then.... suggestions? My mom and I enjoy driving thru scenic areas, walking, and visiting the occasional castle or country house. honeymoon cruise I would love to treat Sheila honeymoon cruise (mom) to a stay in a wonderful country house for 2 nights, the Cameron House hotel in Dunbartonshire has caught la quinta inn airport north my eye, but I'm wondering if I can fit it into a reasonable honeymoon cruise itinerary as I'd probably have to return the rental car to Ft. William. Also, having just spent a week in Glen Coe, is Loch Lomond too similar?
I'm sure this won't be our last trip to Scotland la quinta inn airport north (there's an Arran hiking trip that looks good for next year!) so we don't need to cram everything in to this one visit but based on our last 2 driving trips to the UK, we do tend to cover a lot of ground in a day...
I saw your comment a ways back on the Cameron House which is where I got the idea to stay there. The mid-week rate is quite reasonable la quinta inn airport north (well, reasonable la quinta inn airport north for them) and would like to include this in the itinerary if possible. I'm sure Sheila would love it!
There are no trains to glencoe and a taxi would cost more than your airfare Does your walking tour provide any sort of transport/transfer/shuttle honeymoon cruise options to/from Edinburgh or Glasgow, honeymoon cruise or Inverness or anywhere ?
Our hiking holiday is in Alltshellach, and our transportation there isn't a problem. They have coach pickups from Glasgow, we can make our own way to Fort William and then it's an approx. 20 taxi to Allteschellach. Or we can even take the Scottish Citylink coach to North Ballachulish from where it is a 400 metre walk to Alltshellach.
Skye is a wonderful honeymoon cruise choice for your stated interests - all sorts of stunning scenery, walks, occasional castles. Don't miss the Quiraing, the Old Man of Storr, the Fairy Glen. Check out Three Chimneys if you are interested in a fantastic, high end meal (we went at lunch for a lower expense).
That is good to know about Practical. They are a franchise network and apparently now there is an affiliate in Ft William. (Sort of like Best Western in a way. Independently owned locations that cooperate/advertise w/ each other)
My favorite option would be the train from Ft William to Mallaig, then the CalMac ferry to Armadale and a bus to Portree. Lots of choices from there, whether renting a car or taking a bus or a local tour. But then I would take the West Highland Railway from Glasgow honeymoon cruise to Ft William honeymoon cruise in the first place. I like trains a lot, and those are great ones.
