Cheers matey :)

[northernjim]

there are none in fort william I know that much!:bigcry: Although the road up from glasgow to it is a must for the scenery, going up over rannoch moor and down into glencoe is unforgettable

this is just outside fort bill, bit excessive when you are mountaineering with the lads, might take the mrs one day:smt055


enjoy your trip Ian, there are some belting roads up there, some fookin crazy scottish overtaking too:119:

Not sure if this is the part of Scotland you want to be in but I stayed here last summer & it was very nice.

Start your journey from Gleneagles hotel, and then you could be pretty much anywhere within a couple of hours. Or alternatively you could kip down in Derek's garage. :-D

[JDetail]

Cameron House is definatley the one! J13NY S has got that spot on.... Very nice place and sits right on the Loch.....

[rstoughy]

I've actually been looking over last couple of days for a nice place to stay in Edinburgh. Somewhere within walking/taxi distance to places within Edinburgh as looking to fly in rather than drive up.

Any places or areas to look at? Been looking at The Roxburghe Hotel & The George. Anyone know these places or better? Sorry to hijack Yanto :-D

You dont get any better than Gleneagles and its reasonable compared to London, All the golfer stay there for the open at St Andrews. Jackie Stewart works there, handy for some tution at knockhill. Happy to help with places to visit/drive if your looking for ideas

Yanto,

This place is amazing and the food is out of this world. Been there 3 times.

It has a nice relaxed feel unlike some places that can feel stuffy / lost up their own backside.

Other huge benefit is the CSL friendly roads just outside the door :supz:
The drive on up past Lochness to inverness is stunning and roads are empty this time of year!


If you make it to Edinburgh the Witchery is a recommended stay in their suites. Then a meal in their winter garden.

Best,

Jonathan

[Yanto]

Wow...some good recco's here fellas.

Ta v.much.

Will prob plane it up there so driving is out.....Missus wont put up with it for that long, so I'll need a CSL loaner :whistle:

Now.......is it possible to get grub north of the border that isn't fried ? :-D

In the centre of town check out the balmoral or the Caledonian (just had a major refurb)

For more "boutique" choices, try the Bonham Hotel or the Apex Hotel in the Grassmarket or the Apex Hotel in Waterloo Place.

You changin eating habits Ian:finga:

Back to OT, Ive never stayed in Bonny Scotland. Something earmarked to be done in near future. Some breathtaking scenery. :smt055

Fucking heffers mate, all of them:-D

How are the wedding plans coming on mate. All our plans are virtually complete, just need to pay now:whistle:

[sailorbaz]

Another vote for the Witchery here, gorgeous food and a serious wine list! :-)

Cameron house another spot on place but without wheels, it's a bit of a mare if flying I to Edinburgh. The old course hotel in St Andrews is a wicked spot and handy enough to get to by train from Edinburgh.

The Balmoral just up from Waverly Train station is a class place even for a drink, but is also a Michelin Star restaurant. Needless to say the food is to die for.

Edinburgh is a fantastic city and I miss it loads. Can't wait to get over again next year for some more real ales.
