#8 has explained the timing of your trip, so I dont need to repeat it. Feel free to post your final plans so that we can make sure you've not over estimated anything.

Plockton is a very cute wee place, my Aussie boyfriend loved it and was amazed that palm trees grew there !! (true)

I love plockton - worth the detour. And I'd have to disagree that scotland is a bad place for foodies. In Edinburgh I'd go to the Witchery.

What do you think of this idea -
From Ullapool head south seeing Dundonnell, Poolwee, Gairloch, Kinlochewe and staying overnight in Plockton. Our next overnight could be Oban and then in Glasgow for our final evening.
Thanks!

Plockton and Oban are good overnight stops. Oban to Glasgow is only 2 1/2 hours. Go via Inverary. When are you travelling?

We will be traveling in July. We will stay in Glasgow our last night to be closer to departure. Thanks so very much for your help. I hope you realize how all of you have made our life a bit easier. Now I just have to get ready for the single lane roads!!! - wish me luck.

If you are going to be travelling in July, then you need to book accomodation in advance, it's peak tourist season anyway, but Scottish schools are also on holiday and a lot of us holiday in our own country !

http://www.visitscotland.com/ can help you with accommodation. I would even phone them and get them to help you. They charge £4 booking fee for ALL the accommodation you book, not per place and are most helpful. They actually phone the B&B whilst you are on the line and tell you then and there if there is space and then email you all the details.

I used them for a road trip around Scotland at the last minute and they booked 7 nights accommo for me all over in about 20 minutes which is far faster than I could have organised it and as she was suggesting the places, I would google them as I spoke to her to check that they looked ok.

Have a good time !

The Witchery - I can't even afford the first course !

After Kinlochewe don't be tempted to take the shortcut from Shieldaig to Lochcarron. Go via the coast (Applecross).

£12.95 for 2 courses isn't extortionate. The trick is to go at lunchtime.
