Nice little place Arrochar, worth checking out The Village Inn

If you have the time, i'd recommend heading North through Glen Coe and Fort William and head for the North West coast and the Kyle of Lochalsh area.

Short drive from Kyle of Lochalsh is the village of Plockton, i promise you wont be disappointed

From here you'll also have easy access onto the Isle of Skye (via road bridge) and the home of (imho) the finest whickey, Talisker, plus some of the finest and most breathtaking scenary (The Cuillins) you'll ever see.

Enjoy the trip whatever you decide to do

that seems like a fair review.

if you like boating, theres a little place called Crinan (west off the A83 to Cambletown) where you can go on a trip out to a point between the islands where the water swells and can form a wall of water several feet high. you might also see dolphins, seals and even eagles on the islands. its not for seasick suffers but certainly a giggle and nice way to spend a coule of hours (take a jumper/jacket though, even if sunny)

There are a number of wild cats on the loose in Scotland but still a little safer than Kenya.

On topic: My Mum would recommend a trip to see the Puffins

Hope you have a great time; just take plenty of Alka Seltzer for the morning after Whiskey

I'm afraid we won't make it for August - BUT next years August maybe again.

Also, can anyone tell me when is the "high season" - meaning when is it hot, when not (if ever)..

Someone (MB) meantioned umbrellas - but do you have rain seasons?
