Heading for the Highlands

Today we leave wonderful Edinburgh to make our way North West to Fort William where we will base ourselves for the next four days. We left our AirBnb and made our way to GrassMarket square to have breakfast. Following breakfast we caught a cab out of town to pick up our rental car at Arnold Clarke. We were allocated a lovely Beamer and then headed off towards Fort William. The speed signs in Scotland are in miles which is very confusing when you are used to kilometres. Luckily Katie was able to change the car settings so I could drive with Kilometres displayed.

We headed North via the M9 and A84 as we passed the Falkirk turn off we went past “the Kelpies”, the largest Equine sculptures in the world. We passed Stirling and stopped in Callander for a coffee break. We then drove through some beautiful areas including Loch Lomond, the Trossachs National Park and Crieff and went past Ben Nevis (the tallest mountain in the UK) before arriving at our final destination Fort William and the Grange, our home for the next four nights. Our suites are absolutely gorgeous, so luxurious and well appointed.Read more
