Hi,

I normally take a road trip to the Alps but due to the current situation, I’m choosing to go North instead.

I know it’s not much Time but I’ve got 4 days in September. Days 1 and 4 will be travelling there and back but looking for tips on roads and places to stay for days 2 and 3.

I’m looking at going up the West side so evening 1 can be around Loch Lomand or as far north as Glencoe. Then a total blank canvas but need to be no further north than Fort William at the start of Day 4 to get home.

Any recommend most welcome.

Isle of Arran is on the right side for you and you can do a day there.
Who is in your car with you?

I don't see any point in rushing far north to only be driving and not appreciate the scenery.
Arran is a mini Scotland and stuff to do, whilst not spending copious time just driving.

A trip out to Oban is worth considering.

I didn’t start the thread again.

Very weird.

Apologies but all I did was revisit my old thread and it started a new thread.

Apologies people.

Thanks Sherman.

PS - a duplicate thread has started but I think it’s a glitch as I didn’t start it. I just revisited this one.

Apologies all.

I have merged the threads. I suspect the OP may have hit the back button on their browser after starting the thread as that can sometimes cause a duplicate thread.

I swear there was a thread on here recently with this question, and a lot of good responses, but I can't find it in my bookmarks!

There are many threads one here https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

I can truly recommend The Alamo as a place to stay in Glasgow just outside the city centre next to Kelvingrove Park. Good food at The Left Bank, Gibson Street if it’s open.
