TESTIMONIALS

"Over 100 pages with hundreds of links. It's an entire guide book! I truly am without words. I was expecting maybe 5-6 pages for each week. I have to say that I feel very, very guilty at the small amount we paid for the wealth of information you provided."

Arrive in Glasgow – We provide a stopover guide to the city's main attractions and some of its best restaurants. The guide includes tips on how to get into the city centre from Glasgow Airport. We also provide directions to possible places to stay in the Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park.

Glasgow to Oban – Travel north along the shores of Loch Lomond with opportunities for a detour to see a country house designed by famous Scottish architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh. From Loch Lomond we will guide you over a mountain pass to the shores of Loch Fyne where there are some excellent seafood restaurants and a very picturesque 18th century village with an ornate castle. On the last leg of your route we provide 2 options:
• A direct route that takes you around Loch Awe where there are some interesting attractions to consider before arriving in Oban.
• Or a longer route via the ancient burial sites and standing stones of Kilmartin Glen.
The journey ends in Oban. This lively town has a great choice of seafood restaurants and you will find these detailed in our guide.

Oban Day Trips - We suggest a choice of day trips from Oban to:
• Day trip to the Isle of Mull, only 45 minutes by ferry from Oban. It’s a must when staying in Oban, as the island has distinctive castles and charming villages. In the evening, return to Oban to try some of our Seafood recommendations, or stay on Mull and dine at the restaurant that has its own fisherman.
• Day trip on the Jacobite Steam Train Oban is not far from Fort William, where you can join the "Hogwarts Express" for a steam train ride out to Mallaig. This is one of the world's great scenic rail journeys.

1) - The classic route along the "Road to the Isles" from Fort William to the Skye ferry. This route passes Glenfinnan and some Harry Potter film set locations , 
2) -  A longer route through the wilderness landscape of Sunart to Join the "Road to the Isles" to the Skye ferry.
