Attention all Scottish tilers,

I was born in Bellshill, so Scottish by birth ! Love the Scotland though do not get chance to visit very often. Last time was 2 yrs ago, stayed in Edinburgh, 2 nights at Witchery, 2 Glasgow, 2 nights on Bute.
Have prev done Ben Nevis, Loch Ness, Aviemore etc, all touristy bits !

Was wanting suggestions for some beautiful, quiet, friendly,scenic locations for a weeks holiday with my wife and son who will soon be 4 years. Happy to stay in B & B. Also happy to stay a night here and there to see as much as I can.
Any ideas ?
Start and finish points would be appreciated and places in between ?

Bute was absolutely breathtaking, my fave place !! Remember sitting on a quiet bay with my missus, picnic, sun going down watching the seals, heaven !!

hi mate
same here born in greenock

I'm not Scottish, but when i head up that way i always go for Rannoch, or Glencoe (anywhere in that area); most beautiful place on earth! Depends how quiet you want it i guess. There's nothing at Rannoch, so Glencoe might be more of a family destination.

Just a thought, but when are you looking at going? I wouldn't be thinking about the Highlands in summer, to be honest, as although it's stunning, the Midges can really put a dampener on it lol!

catch the ferry to dunoon or take the long scenic roots and head to Hunters key.Log cabins set in woodlands great scenery very idyllic

Or catch the ferry to Arran and tour the island wont take that long tho HAHA

Saw a lot of Scotland years ago when working for a touring theatre company. If you want something different try the Western, or Northern Isles. Every one is different and unique, none of them are particularly touristy. My favorites:-

Harris - the west coast has long white sandy beaches and the east coast looks like a moonscape.

Orkney - soft gentle rolling countryside.
