Scotland Circular Route starting and finishing in Edinburgh (Car hire – approximately £125 for 2 drivers – 5 days )

 

Pitlochry (60-70 minutes North of Edinburgh) – Check out the Salmon Ladder at the Dam in April

 

The Moulin Inn

 

Fort William (West Coast) – Ben Nevis is approx 1500m, but prepare a teasing final hour, and the descent is harder

 

The 4 hour walk

 

Oban (West Coast) – We visited the distillery and the Oban games (traditional highland games includes a sprint up the mountain)

 

Time for a drink

 

Stirling (Beautiful old town) – the Youth hostel is very near to Castle but has very limited parking. (Castle - approx £10 entry for adults, car park £2)

 

Careful where you step

 

Edinburgh – We stayed at a lovely B&B in Hope Park Terrace – you can only park on the street after 6.30pm but is within walking distance of the grassmarket
