Advantages: Beautiful scenery and lots to do Disadvantages: Expensive
I visited the Isles of Glencoe Hotel in April 2008 with my partner. It was a last minute decision to book a long weekend away to Scotland, and it was by far the best choice we could have made.
The views on the drive up to the hotel from Glasgow airport were amazing, and once at the hotel, the scenery was absolutely breath taking. It couldn't have been situated in nicer surroundings.

Having been staying on the mainland for several days in rubbish weather, the first remotely decent day we had we jumped in the car and shot across the bridge, as they knew how excited I was to go to the island, and we didn?t want to miss the best weather we were likely to have (best in this sense is mainly dry with showers ...
Advantages: Excellent food and drink, seashore location near marina, golfcourse to rear, economical Disadvantages: Closed in the winter months.
The waters around the Scottish Isle of Bute make for excellent sailing and perhaps the most peaceful stopping point is the bay at Port Bannatyne with its little uncommercialised marina. The views of hills, sea and countryside are precisely what we were looking for on our trip sailing off Scotland
