Take midge spray.Never been. My missus has suggested we should do a coach trip. Seing as we are in our sixties and our grand kids are away soon I woukd like to look into it.
Can anyone suggest a coach company who will pick up in Teesside or Durham fir such one trip ?
Not a good idea unless you do a lot of advance planning because they ban them from a lot of the car parksMotorhome or campervan, youd love it better
Try Shearings. They seem to pick up in BillinghamNever been. My missus has suggested we should do a coach trip. Seing as we are in our sixties and our grand kids are away soon I woukd like to look into it.

Tried Caledonian and National, nothing for the west coast. I’d like to see Glencoe. I could drive but would t see much. Always wanted to see the Isle of Skye.
Woukd I be better off getting train to Edinburgh then taking a coach ?
I need to get this sorted quickly for about two weeks time otherwise it will be the Lakes again.
Glasgow to Oban and Mallaig for ferries to some of the islands Inverness to Kyle of Lochalsh for isle of Skye all doable by bus straight through or train to the ferry ports.Get the train all the way over there but probably have to change a couple of times. At Edinburgh onto Glasgow then presumably another train to Oban or wherever.

I’m in Gairloch at the minute, arrived late yesterday. Any recommendations for walks in the area?Get " smidge " repellant its the best of the bunch.
I live in the SW corner, its excellent, It has a bit of everything. If you want mountain scenery go to the Newton Stewart area into the Galloway forest park, the UK's 1st dark sky area. Gatehouse of Fleet has mountains and amazing coastline. The machars peninsula is unspoilt as is pretty much all of Galloway up into Ayrshire.
Its not busy, you can have one if the hundreds of beaches to yourself.
It has its own driving route, the SW 300, excellent food etc etc.... i could go on.
I regularly visit the west coast highlands, The Gairloch / Poolewe area of Wester Ross. Sure its stunning scenery, the mountains only stop as the hit the sea, very beautiful. Thing is, its feking miles away, a pain in the arse drive up the A9, overrun with camper vans and the single track roads just simply cant handle the volume of traffic heading there. The roads can only follow the glens so everywhere is a long drive.
Dumfries and Galloway is a real gem, instead of heading northwest like 90% of visitors, turn left and come here, its a lot fekin better tbh and 3 1/2hrs from Sunderland.
In Scotland, you can basically walk where you like, whereas in England you're following rights of way.I’m in Gairloch at the minute, arrived late yesterday. Any recommendations for walks in the area?
One difference I’ve noticed is in the lakes there is a well trodden path to the top of each hill, they seem less accessible here, or do people pick their own routes?
We have sea kayaking booked this morning and got a strong westerly wind and rain. Should be interesting!

Alex Neils birthplaceI’ve been to bellshill just outside of Glasgow
then a week on an island, in a cottage with no electricity, and only about 10 dwellings on the island.
also 100% this. Used to stay near newton stewart a fair bit and loved itDumfries and Galloway is a real gem, instead of heading northwest like 90% of visitors, turn left and come here, its a lot fekin better tbh and 3 1/2hrs from Sunderland.
It's the Clegs (horseflies) you have to avoid at this time of year.It’s the combination of forests (stops the wind dispersing them) and water (lochs and rivers). Perfect breeding grounds for the little blood sucking bastards.
Eilean Shona this year.Which one out of interest?
OP - Try Arran for digs. Train to Oban then ferry and jobs a goodun.
