Inverness Travel Forum

Can anyone email a photo of the old Glencoe hospital? I recently visited Glencoe, took photos and downloaded them onto a portable CD writer but found out, on return to OZ that they were the only ones that did not copy properly.

Hi, Im looking to be in Edinburgh for Hogmanay, and am wondering if there are any bus tours that have a start in Inverness that go past Loch Ness, through the Isle of Skye and down through the highlands to Edinburgh, rather than the common return route from Edinburgh?
ANy help in pointing me in the right direction would be great
Cheers

Hi,

I'll be travelling to Scotland this month and I'm going to spend a couple of days in Inverness. This is my first time there so I hace a couple of questions:

I'd like to go to Loch Ness and I thought it would be a good idea to go by bus from Inverness to Drumnadrochit. My question is: Once I get to Drumnadrochit, do I have to take another bus to Loch Ness or can I go walking?

And I also want to go to Culloden Battlefield, so is it possible to go there by bus from Inverness?

If someone could also give me any bus company names it will be appreciated.

Thanks a lot for your help!!!

Cheers,
N.

I will be in Inverness in August. I was wondering if anyone knows of a day tour that goes to both Loch Ness and Glencoe. Any help would be much appreciated!

I would really enjoy hearing the pipes while I am in Scotland (May 23-May31st). Can someone help me out?? I have already posted my itenerary. The Highlands are probably my best bet?? Sileas what do you think???

I am sitting here in 97 degree weather and recieving advice on my 1week in Scotland. Of course I am interested in advice on the east coast. I have already booked for 6 of the 7 nights. I was told by B&B,s that the end of May is some kind of holiday??? Here is my itenerary
1) arrive in Glasgow at 8:50am. pick up car see Wallace Monument?, Melrose Abbey maybe Linthigrow(spell?) sites in those areas.
2) Edinburough(same B&B for those 2 nights)
3)up through St. Andrews and the trip you are advising on
4)due in Fort Augustus 2 nights
5)highlands, fORT aUGUSTUS AS HM BASE
6)down to Loch Lomond for 2 nights
7)Trossachs, Rob Roy ,Stirling whatever I can squeeze in.
What do you think???
Thanks, Brandy

My first trip to Scotland and I am so excited!!! I am wondering how long it takes to drive from Edinburough to Iverness if I first drive along the coast through St. Andrews taking 2-3hrs to enjoy the cathedral and the view. Of course I will stop at Glamis Castle. Should I count on staying in Pitolcry or am I spreading myself to thin

Susan and I are planning our honeymoon for July 4-11, 2005 here. We would appreciate any advice on other activities and must see attractions in the area & if Cawdor is as fabulous as presented.
Thank you in advance,
Neil

About 20 years ago I stayed at Castle Kilravock near Inverness, and was very impressed...18 pounds a night then, but I see by their web site that inflation has taken its toll...22 pounds now!

My question: They had a squash court then, which unfortunately I was unable to use on my prior stay.

So my questions:

1) Has anyone stayed there of late? How was the experience?
2) Is the squash court serviceable?

(I've e-mailed them, but no answer yet.)

I've been trying to find out how to go about getting a bus from Keith, Scotland to Pennan, Scotland and I can't seem to find enough timetable info on the internet.

Is there ANYONE who can help me!!

We're using the train from London to Inverness as a way to nap and cope with jet lag during our first day in Britain. We really don't have much time in Inverness (one evening and one morning), and I would like to take the family for a hike or outing so we could get a view of Loch Ness. How does one do this from Inverness? Do we hire a taxi to take us to a hiking spot, or do public busses carry us to a place where we can see the countryside and Loch Ness?

I'm going to be taking a vacation in Scotland this summer, flying into Inverness and then visiting a friend of mine who lives nearby. Before I get to her place, I have 3-4 days to run around on my own. I'll be getting a car for this, and what I'd like to know is: where can I go in this space of time? My friend suggested Lewis, Mull, Islay, or some other island on the west coast. How long will it take me to get over there from Inverness (I'm assuming there are car ferries)? Any other suggestions on where to go? On my previous Scotland trip, I only visited Edinburgh, so I'm excited to be getting up north. I'd like to see some nice scenery.
