Our tour group of 15 enjoyed a brief visit to the Visitor Centre and then walked to the turf-and-creel house. Along the way, majestic mountains rose from the glen. But there’s a dark side to the beau…Full review by DeanMurphy2020
Hi, We are wanting to visit Glencoe and Glen Nevis next week. We won't be climbing any peaks, keeping to only easy pathways and roads. Will it be dangerous/icy? Or is it better to wait until March time instead? Is it worth going at this time of year basically.
A:
Be prepared for the weather to change very quickly during Jan/Feb.
Just wondering, we don't really have time to do a hike. Is there a loop (scenic drive) that we can do what would be the time spend of this loop thanks inadvance
A:
Really depends on where you are starting from and returning to. It is 2.5 hour drive from Glasgow to Glencoe on the A82 which is the scenic part. We actually drive from Edunburgh to Skye …
Really depends on where you are starting from and returning to. It is 2.5 hour drive from Glasgow to Glencoe on the A82 which is the scenic part. We actually drive from Edunburgh to Skye through Glencoe and made a day of it. That is really all I can vouch for. The A82 is a gorgeous drive though with plenty of pull offs - you should definitely do it - even if you have to go out and back! Best views in my opinion are between Tyndrum and Glencoe!
I will driving from Iona to Glencoe, then on to Eilean Donan, then hoping to be on Skye by nightfall. How much time should I plan on spending in Glencoe? I will leave Iona as early as six am and then will be in Glencoe around 9 am. Is four hours in Glencoe enough? From what I have read, there is no point in going inside Eilean Donan (if you have been, perhaps you could give me your opinion), so I only expect to spend about an hour there. Thank you!
A:
I stopped at Eileen Donan for pics only this trip. Last trip I went inside, and it was interesting but not enough for me to go through it again.
For a first-timer, is it easy to drive from Edinburgh to Loch Ness? How are the roads?
A:
Yes. You’ll be fine if you take your time and pay attention. A few years ago my mom and I took my teen boys and nephew to Scotland for a month. This was my first time driving …
Yes. You’ll be fine if you take your time and pay attention. A few years ago my mom and I took my teen boys and nephew to Scotland for a month. This was my first time driving anywhere in the Uk. We picked up a car in Edinburgh and drove all over! To Aberdeen, Inverness, Loch Ness, Sterling, Ft William and up to Orkney. No one drives fast, but take your time on the round abouts. I’ve driven all over England and Wales since, but Scotland definitely the most comfortable.
