What bits of Scotland are worth a visit?

i went to skye a couple of years back, there's nothing there, As you'd expect i guess. Not my cup of tea though. I get bored looking at fields.

The "Welcome to England" sign.

Wick. Some lovely rocks as I remember.

Get on the ferry and check out

Arran
Bute
Jura

All very special

Take a trip to Rosslyn Chapel (made famous thought dan browns da vinci code), my english aunt was up last month never meet her before.

She really wanted to see it,ffs said I but no problem will take yuo,great day and really fascinating tbh :)

Sutherland

All of it - except Glasgow and Dundee.

Blair Atholl in Perthshire is stunning, spent a good few weekends there fishing and being generally on the beers, highly recommended. The former in laws are from there and the great great grandfather was the ghillie and used to organise the shooting parties at the castle.

been to most of the hebrides, mull, skye, colonsay, coll , tiree, islay, uists, barra , lewis and harris . would recommend mull the most out of these. also like ullapool up in the north west. would defo not recommend stornoway, its a dump .

Carol Smillie

Greenock and Port Glasgow nice this time of year

take the road from loch lomond to fort william to gairloch to ullapool to loch laxford and on up to durness.

Greenock and Port Glasgow nice this time of year


as there's less daylight

and gourock

inverary is nice. nice run down to knapdale forest from there, see the beavers. also run back up coast towards oban is excellent, through kilmartin and then on to easdale island.

Gourock is too posh. Check out Coatbridge, Airdrie and Motherwell. Maybe even Glenmavis and Cumbernauld.

The forrest of Galloway has some stunning views. The bus ride round the Isle Of Arran is more of a white knuckle ride than anything at Alton Towers, and the place is well worth a visit as it is home to the best cheese I've ever tasted.

hhaa

Is Barney Rubbles still there :0

lots of Southerners will think Glenmavis is a romantic sounding place

so suggest that

Arran's great wur especially Blackwaterfoot which is straight across the island from Brodick,I stayed here about 10yrs ago and it was superb

if you go to Inverary,go to The George Hotel,it has entertainment fri+sat nights,the food and drink is excellent and reasonably priced(btw you can get a bus from Glasgow to here)

Take the West Highland line train from Glasgow right through the middle of nowhere to up north. Fantastic scenery across parts of the country where roads have never been...

Pantwettingly good effort :^0

If you go to Bute, check out mansion House

It is truly jawdropping in its indulgent excesses

However if you see any funny looking characters in pubs, don't take pictures of them on your camera phone
The place is crawling with gangsters

Fort William north Including Skye,terrific sceanery all the way.

Don't go any further south than Aberdeen imvho ;)

Sutherland = the only county in the UK that has no traffic lights

Watch the film Local Hero - it's done on the West Coast on the road to Mallaig. Gorgeous.

try watching the wicker man, that was filmed in Scotland and the locals starred in the film and were told to behave as they normally would...........scary

airport home

When people talk of scenery, what do you do after looking for 2 mins???

You go back inside the distillery, of course.

Of course.........but rocky scenery in Scotland is same as Lake district and (strangely considering the weather difference!) south east Asia

I generally go fishing or climbing up there. Depends on the weather and the whisky. Mind you, I've got relatives all over the place. I once walked over most of Scotland, it took me four months. Hardly spent a night outside.

none. please stay away you southerners ;-)

Jersey.
Full of Jocks.

Er...like...ALL THE ISLANDS, ffs !!

Anglesey isn't

drive from peterhead/fraserburgh to elgin is great through banff , macduff etc

lewis and harris are paradise

Livingston Industrial Estate

lewis and harris are paradise

Inspector Morse is out of the closet at last.

Stinky Bay on Benbecula is great if the weather is fine.

In fact the Outer Hebrides as a whole are worth a visit

Benbecula sounds great, sounds like it's something off the Florida keys

Arran, take a sleeping bag and kip in the pubs. Within a week everyone will know your first name!

nt go to benbecula, trust me. its between north and south uist which are far nicer. theres an raf base on benbecula, small settlement has a spar, but the place mings. just dont go there. north uist is good as is berneray. go to rspb site on north uist, see the warden there, jimmy** he's from sunderland. south uist is nice, as is eriskay which is linked by causeway. can get ferry to barra from eriskay.

dont
