Whistle stop tour of the West of Scotland!
Review of The West Coast (Scotland) by jo145

Advantages: Stunning scenery, peace and tranquility
Disadvantages: Midges at some times of years!

...because our few days in the west of Scotland have had all this and much more too. Failte. That is welcome in Gaelic, the greeting you see as you enter many of the places in the West Highlands of Scotland, and a very warm welcome we had everywhere we went on our few days break. We travelled on a Sunday, passing through Glasgow and heading over the Erskine bridge, through Helensburgh along the Firth of Clyde, then on the shores of Gare Loch and Loch ... Read review

Letter from a Midge
Review of The West Coast (Scotland) by MHam

Advantages: Beautiful, amazing countryside
Disadvantages: Midges, hundreds of Midges

...of Ciao As penance for spending the majority of last week feeding on the oh so tasty MHam, it falls upon me to give you a tour of the West Coast of Scotland, an incredibly beautiful part of the British Isles. Now I first met MHam outside her tent in Inver Coe, at the foot of Glencoe, right on the banks of Loch Leven. The Highlands of Scotland are famous for two things, having really big hills, might even call them mountains and loads of Lochs ... Read review

Gateway to Argyll UPDATED
Review of The West Coast (Scotland) by elspeth334

Advantages: Plenty to do
Disadvantages: midges

...picturesque little town nestling on the shores of Loch Fyne. It is ideally located at the head of the Mull of Kintyre 60 miles west of Glasgow an ideal base for a weekend break or a touring holiday. Dunoon lies 40 miles south, Oban 40 miles north, Tarbert Lochgilphead and Campbeltown lie to the west and not forgetting Loch Lomond only 25 miles east. This also makes it an ideal spot for a day trip by car or bus that runs daily from Glasgow. What ... Read review

This town is anything but a ghost town.
Review of The West Coast (Scotland) by jimblob

Advantages: Great nightlife,shops and sights
Disadvantages: re-generation still in progress

...an old town situated on the river Clyde, about 20 miles south-west of Glasgow city. At first glance many see Greenock as just another dead industrial waste ground, full of now disused shipbuilding yards, a kind of industrial ghost town. Nothing could be further from the truth! During the war, Greenock had a thriving shipbuilding and engineering industry, The QE2” was “Clyde built” in Greenock, as were many fine ships, ferries, ... Read review

We discovered Heaven on Earth.
Review of The West Coast (Scotland) by hellogirl

Advantages: Beautiful scenery, peace and quiet, lovely people.
Disadvantages: What disadvantages?

...time we chose to visit the Kintyre peninsula, and took along our touring caravan, and booked ourselves into a caravan park for 2 weeks. We went to Muasdale caravan site in the village of Muasdale, about halfway down the west coast of the peninsula. Our pitch was right at the front, just a few feet away from a lovely sandy beach strewn with twigs, seaweed and rocks, what I like to call a nice, natural beach. We had the most glorious sunsets I`d ever ... Read review

Chill out baby
Review of The West Coast (Scotland) by mannyboy

Advantages: Total freedom
Disadvantages: Having to come back to reality

...all nighters? Then don't go to the west coast of Scotland! However, if you want peace, serenity, total hassle free relaxation, then this is for you. Beauty beyond belief during the day, and if you are lucky, maybe a northern light or two at night! The main problem is that of uk petrol prices, meaning that it is often cheaper to fly abroad than to drive to Scotland, and then to move about when you are there. If you are heavily stressed, ...

The Road to the Isles
Review of The West Coast (Scotland) by Aspen

Advantages: Nothing compares
Disadvantages: Price of fuel and toll charges!

You're in Inverness, right? The gateway to the Highlands. Inverness is also the gateway to the West. Take the Road to the Isles, if you want to see Scotland at its spectacular best. Take the A87 down Loch Ness side via Drumnadrochit to Invermoriston. Don't be tempted to stop at anything saying "Monster" or "Souvenir" unless you're into tat, but give Urquhart Castle a visit if you've time. Bear right at Invermoriston and follow the signs to ...

The West Highland Way
Review of The West Coast (Scotland) by Gillies

Advantages: Beautiful, breathtaking scenery
Disadvantages: Unpredictable weather

I had wanted to walk the west highland way for ages but never had the time to plan it, then one day i decided that i had to do it now or i would never get round to planning it. So glad that i did. I then went on the internet and ordered two west highland way guides (smaller more practical guides being an advantage). We didnt actually realise how heavy our rucksacks were.going to be. If i was going again which i would very much like to then i would ... Read review

Driving the West Coast of Scotland
Review of The West Coast (Scotland) by nickyturnill

Advantages: Stunning scenery
Disadvantages: lots of driving

...we spend a week driving the west coast of Scotland. From Newcastle we drove to Glasgow and spent a night in the city. Then up to the stunning scenery of Loch Lomond and then continuing up the West Coast which is just stunning, empty and pristine..... Then across to the isle of Skye for a night and finally across the country to Loc Ness and Inverness and the long trip back home from there. This is a trip I would recommend to anyone willing to undertake ... Read review
