    Re: Visiting Scotland in April 2012

    I am not very good at all this sight seeing stuff, half an hour should be long enough to see any museum and is too long to see most big houses and castles. There are two exceptions! Blair Castle(the House of Bruar shop is close by too) and Fort George. After that I want to see the wildlife and the scenery, so I am not really a great help. However if you can fit Fort William and the Highland Museum into your itinerary then the Cameron Museum at Achnacarry might be worth a visit.

    Thanks Jock!

    Fort William is on my list of stops of course and I'm thinking of spending one night there. I visited the Highland Museum my last time through and may do so again if time allows or I may just enjoy strolling through the town.

    At various points along the way (Glencoe, Skye, Killiecrankie, etc) I plan to take a walk and enjoy the scenery and wildlife. I had some good experiences at Glencoe last time.

    Re: Visiting Scotland in April 2012

    We are planning to go here for 2 weeks then over to Skye.

    It's on the north west coast of Scotland and is very remote.





    All single track roads with passing places. You would need a car.
