Scotland advice wanted
"David Adler" wrote in message om... Rather than staying in a different place each night, I'd like to pick 2-3 places to use as a base and explore from there. I'm thinking Inverness as one base, and someplace in the Hebrides (Isle of Skye?) as a second base. Any thoughts on this plan? Better suggestions/additions? What are the "must-see" sights around those places? I generally find in Scotland there is lots of little nice things to see, rather than big, you gotta see this! type attractions. I would recommend getting a route planner e.g. www.theaa.com and finding out driving times, it's easy to think places don't look too far away but on some of the roads in Scotland it can take a long time! Inverness is good for the North East, if you are wanting the West coast then Oban is a nice place to stay. You can get a ferry from here to some of the islands too. We'll rent a car for the trip - is an international driver's license needed, or will one from the US suffice? That'll be fine. I would recommend renting a smallish car, Fiesta kind of size, much more comfortable on some of the roads in the highlands which are often very narrow. |
