At 10PM tonight we will be heading to Lossiemouth for the week, the route takes us through the obvious places- Ben Nevis and Loch Ness. Can someone recommend any other good places along the way please? We may loop around to SKYE on the way home.

Got home last night, went to Applecross thanks to the advice on here and we loved it. Thank you for that, it was a highlight of our holiday. The Isle of Skye is enchanting, sadly we only had a few hours there, but will be heading back next year.

As for the Black Forest, it is lovely, but does not even come close to the Highlands.

Pics to follow...

Really? Here are just a few examples of roads I was on in the Black Forest.


Or for the similar mileage from Kent you can go to Scotland, a land of beauty and wonderful people where you have roads like this.
Black Forest is lovely, but it is not in the same league as The Highlands.

Now I'm confused, we went to Scotland...

Do I need one of those parrot things?

Gradually getting through my photos, I love this one. A spot I would not have seen if it wasn't for the kind folk on here, thanks again.

Lovely photos, apologies not needed- they are re post worthy.

We stayed in Lossiemouth for 3 days, we were there taking photos of the Joint Warrior exercise. We had food in the Clifton and I have to say, hats off to them as their food is fantastic.

ETA we did stop at one pub for dinner one evening and all looked promising from the outside, you know the type- old world charm, log fires etc. It was downhill from there once we entered the bar and the final nail in the coffin was the menu being on a clip board. We didn't bother with the food!
