Sonya Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 Thinking of doing a few days in Scotland after Easter. Anyone done this in an Elise (Steve and Fiona, I seem to remember you did this recently)? I'm interested in any ideas for routes, accomodation etc. Only stipulation is the usual great views and nice cosy hotels.... Thoughts peeps?
Dave S Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 Hi Sonya I went up about the same time as Steve and Fiona, If you go to the islands watch the ferries the big ones are ok but the small ones can be a bit steep. (scraped the front spoiler coming off the top of Bute) Skye is brilliant, good place to stay was the OLD INN at Carbost, right next to the Talisker still. Good rooms, cheap, nice pub and very central. Also friendly natives... Lots of good roads, mountains, walks etc. Will probably go again next year. Dave
Fiona Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 We did: Trip up and 1 night south of Oban in a lovely old Manse Up to Eilean Donan castle and 2 nights in local hotel Did one run round Skye and back to above hotel Then went over Belach Na Ba to Applecross Best bit of the west coast and 1 night in Gairloch Relaxing run up to Lochinver and 1 night in Lochinver Run to Durness 1 night in Tongue Run over to Thurso and 1 night in Brora 1 night in Fort Augustus Back to my uncles at Loch Fyne Can recommend hotels and B & Bs if needs be. If I were you I'd concentrate on Gairloch and the area round Kyle of Lochalsh and Skye. http://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/ Had a great time, I'd move back tomorrow.
Foley Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 The loop at Kinlochleven is absolutely fantastic in an Elise. Only a short road but well worth a couple of runs back and forth. Hope you get good weather, there's no better place for getting your hood off and enjoying great roads.

enxrjm Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 Going to be doing something similar this year. Got a wedding to go to in Inverness - plan is to take two days over the journey each way. Will have 3 days to burn about the place then a couple of days for wedding stuff. Can't wait. Will be planning route and B&B's soon
Martin R Posted February 23, 2005 Posted February 23, 2005 Liz and i went to Scotland twice last year. Fort William and Edinburgh. Before we got the S1 im afraid. The road along the side of loch ness is a real beauty. We also had a trip to John O, Groats, now that is what you call a journey. It would be superb in a Lotus.
