Holidays in Scotland

[andy.l]

Im thinking of going to Scotland next year with my girlfriend for a biking/walking general relaxing holiday but ive never been there,im looking at West Scotland as its meant to be milder.

Has anyone done this and can recommend some good places to stay,dont mind b&b or self catering place really?

cheers

if you like rural , years ago I did a work placement right up on the atlantic coast opposite the tiny islands of Jura & Islay about 15 miles of coastal road to nearest shop .... It was stunning !!

So many places- don't know about milder, west coast can get a bit more rain but some stunning places to stay, my personal fav. is glen coe, the west highland way is close by so great walking/ and biking and some stunning munros to climb as well as a great pub/hotel or indeed camping.

Tourist guide to Scotland:

West coast = midgies and incessant rain
East coast = often slightly cooler due to sea "breezes" but perpetual sunshine

The good news is, over most of the country there's not much distance between the two so you can see both without too much bother ;-)

west coast- warm and friendly natives


east coast- cold and dour folk



take your pick

Only while they have their other arm in your pocket for your wallet ;-)

east coast- cold and dour folk

Ah well, if we were too friendly everyone would want to move here

For the OP though... if you're wanting a walking holiday the West coast is almost certainly a better bet - take your pick as to which part of it you go to, it's different all the way up but I can't see you going far wrong...
