Just wanting opinions really. Planning a trip upto scotland next saturday for a week. Ive narrowed down the places i want to visit. Looking at Loch lomend, glencoe and then isle of skye.I know a week probably isnt long enough really but thought id give it a go.
Looking at going around the rowardennan area of loch lomend for a couple of days, then on the drive upto skye drop off at glencoe maybe for a day or so then drive upto skye. Thinking about trying to get accommodation around elgol if possible or a bit further so im more central to travel to other parts.
Just looking for a bit of advice really as this is the first time ive done something like this. If anyone has any recomendations for accommodation thatd be great because its a bit overwhelming the amount of hotels and different areas of scotland, lol. Its a masive pplace. Would you recomend booking accommodation or just turning up at a B&B on your travels and trying your luck? Thanks everyone, hope you can help me.

Excellent choice 
) I am biased of course )) Accomodation here is the problem however. We are full at the hostel and the local hotel is also full :-((( but do not let that put you off as there will be accomodation in Drymen, Balloch, Milngavie all within an hours drive of here and i wpuld be delighted to meet up with you here and show you around a little. PM me if you get accom sorted around here.

Hey Dave, cheers for the reply. Ill have to check accommodation out yeah, seems I might have left it a little late to book in to anywhere but ill give it a go for sure. Yeah thatd be great there seems like there is so much to see in scotland think I need a year rather than a week, lol.
Personally I wouldn't stay at Elgol - whenever I go to Skye, Elgol is a place I go to, rather than stay at. Other than the overdone shot of the Cuillin ridge from the beach at Elgol, there isn't much else. But that's just my opinion!
To be honest, I usually base myself on the mainland, somewhere around Loch Alsh or Loch Duich, and head over to Skye either on a 'day-trip' or just stay over for a couple of days. If you fancy staying on the mainland, you could try staying a few nights at the Kintail Lodge - they have a bunkhouse you could stop in.

That would explain the 2GB of data from two brief morning shoots me and Andy had there then!
Keith .. did I mention Andy HAD filled his card??? He was actually asleep for most of the morning ... slowly dribbling over a Lee fitlter kit
