I'll be heading off to the highlands soon with a friend (very excited - haven't been for such a long time!) and am after a few recommendations if anyone has any

Specifically for hotels - after a large hotel in/around Inverness and am willing to pay more for something that's a bit special, but i can't seem to find anything quite right on line! I'm thinking somewhere old with a roaring fire in the evenings since it'll be cold grin

Also, we're planning visits to Skye, the Nessie centre, Urquhart castle, Culloden, maybe fort william (we're hiring a car)...is there anywhere we've missed? Thanks to anyone who has any tips!

If you have a car and can manage to get to Fort William, go a little bit further to Glencoe and Rannoch Moor. Haunting.

oh yes, Glencoe is definitely going on the list - have always wanted to go there since I read a great book about it (Witch Light, it's called). Thanks tingaloo

Lochardil House hotel in Inverness is lovely or if you head out west along Beauly Firth there's Bunchrew House Hotel. Strathpeffer is worth a visit as is Cawdor Castle and Brodie Castle. Nice restaurant near Brodie (Brodie Countryfare) and Cawdor Tavern is one of our favourite places to eat. Hope you have a lovely holiday.

If you`re in the Fort William area at anytime, try the Nevis Experience, a cable car ride up a mountain, there`s a cafe and shop at the top, and sports for them as wants `em.
