What are the best places to visit in Scotland?

Scotland is really beautiful all over, but I particularly like the west coast around Oban and along Loch Ness to Inverness.

Bed and breakfast places are very reasonable. But try going to a hotel and bargaining with them over the price for the night. You can get a great discount if they think you are about to leave and they might lose a customer.

Not everything is open in Jan/Feb but there's enough to see so you don't need to worry.

Glen Coe is one of the most beautiful places in Scotland. Inverness is lovely and I can highly recommend Castle View Guest House, rooms from £22 a night. Find it on the Internet. From there you can visit Colloden (check it is open but I think it is and get a real feeling for the Highlands. Use the Scottish Tourist Board book ahead scheme to find somewhere to stay. Just set off and at the first tourist board office you come to ask them to book a bed for you that night in the place you want to stay in. You could book your first one in Edinburgh if you started there. Quite a few places do close in Feb but there should still be plenty of places around.

My favorite Scottish Tourism website is: http://northernlights.free.fr/memoire.htm

But for all around best of the best, check out Edinburgh castle. It is said to have more ghosts than any other haunted site in the world. Below are a few good sites to check out.

Bon Voyage!
