Honeymoon in Scotland - what to see?

[JS Sanders]

In Wester Ross in the NW Highlands is a small village called Dundonnell. It's on A832 on the edge of Little Loch Broom. There're Munroe's nearby, a national forest - saw a capercaillie there, and best of all is the hotel-restaurant-pub.... The Dundonnell Hotel.

And it is wonderfully isolated and quiet. Wee wifie & I have stayed there a number of times.

We prefer September for travel to Scotland. Most of the obnoxious tourists have gone, attractions are still operating, midgie season is kaput, and it's still their summertime.

If you're gonna hire a rental car, study this Highway Code website: http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/TravelAn...code/index.htm .

You'll be mighty glad you did - particularly when you reach your very 1st roundabout when you're jetlagged and edgy.

Slainte yall,

BT100, I would suggest that you get some good travel guides, Foder's makes a good one, and "Scotland for Dummys" is really great. It lays out everything, including example trips, which can help you with figuring out time and distance while exploring sites in a "real world" situation, something a map can't do.

We honeymooned in Scotland in 2001, spending the first week in Edinburgh and the second hiking across Skye. Is the Fringe Festival too touristy to mention?? It was my favourite part. We stayed at a B&B right on the Royal Mile, about 1/2 mile from the castle. Amazing.
