There is a place on the shores of Loch Creran called Appin and there is a very quiet holiday place there with log cabins. It's not far from Oban, Fort William and Ben Nevis.
The scenery will take your breath away, it's amazing. |

There are lots of really scenic parts of Scotland. I was recently in Argyll and the scenery there is spectacular.
I would recommend staying in Oban then you can visit lots of places such as Fort William and Inverurie within an hour and also go to some of the Islands such as Mull & Iona |

Glen Coe. The view from Elgin towards The Cuillin Hills on The Isle of Skye. Glenfinnan. Loch Leven. Glen Nevis. Eilean Donan Castle. - Go to stay in Fort William and visit them easily. You will not be disappointed. |

I've only been to the Lowlands so I'd say Loch Lomand speaking from personal experience. I've heard the Highlands are very beautiful. The whole country is pretty so you really can't go wrong no matter where you go. |

The area around Inverlochy (esp. Inverlochy Castle)--and Hearst Castle is gorgeous (but expensive.) |

The highlands are just great. Also the hebridean isles are good. Im just back from Islay and loved it. I love standing at the rest and be thankful on the journey. |

Loch Lomond, Loch Long, in fact anywhere along the coast of Scotland is breathtaking. And especially the West coast.
Try logging on to.. Visit Scotland.com or.. The internet guide to Scotland and you can see some of the breathtaking scenery. |

The City of Edinburgh. You can't beat it.
Starting at the top of the town, Edinburgh Castle is a must see for every visitor. It has a fascinating history, but what makes it really special are the views in every direction. Edinburgh Castle is cared for by Historic Scotland - www.historic-scotland.gov.uk
Next to the castle, the Scotch Whisky Heritage Centre aims to bring 300 years of Scotch Whisky history to life. This interactive visitor attraction, allows you to experience whisky sights, sounds and smells, and gives the opportunity to discover how whisky is made. - www.whisky-heritage.co.uk
Just down the Royal Mile lies the Writers Museum. Situated in Lady Stair's House, built in 1622, The Writers' Museum is dedicated to the lives and work of Scotland's great literary figures, in particluar Robert Burns (1759 - 1796), Sir Walter Scott (1771 - 1832) and Robert Louis Stevenson (1850 - 1894). - www.cac.org.uk
Nearby to this lies the National Library of Scotland, Scotland's largest library and the world centre for the study of Scotland and the Scots. - www.nls.uk
Just Round the corner from this on Chambers St lies the Royal Museum run by National Museums of Scotland. This museum houses the international collections and contains an extraordinary range of material. - www.nms.ac.uk/royal
For some of the darker side of the city, visit the Edinburgh Dungeon. Witch-hunters, grave-robbers, murderers, cannibals, executioners - you will find them all here, along with their wretched victims. - www.thedungeons.com
Beneath the Royal Mile lies a warren of concealed streets where real people lived, worked and died in bygone centuries. Step back in time at The Real Mary King’s Close to walk through these hidden closes, some of which have never before been open to the public.
www.realmarykingsclose.com
Continuing into the underworld, you might want to experience one of Edinburgh's Ghost Tours with Mercat Tours. The gory, the ghoulish, the sinister and the haunted, creepy Underground Vaults - "possibly the most haunted place in Britain"! - lots to choose from - www.mercat-tours.co.uk
At the bottom end of the Royal Mile is the Palace of Holyrood - a royal residence as well as the new Scottish Parliament.
Next door to these attractions lies Our Dynamic Earth - an interactive visitor centre taking you on a thrilling journey back in time to learn about our planet Earth. - www.dynamicearth.co.uk
Elsewhere in the city you can visit treats like the Royal Yacht Britannia in Leith and The Royal Botanic Gardens.

Snowdrop Festival
Ceilidh Culture
Science Festival
Leith Festival

At this time of year, I'd say the Loch Lomond and Aberfoyle area, or Argyll. |

the spey valley at the foot of cairngorm is spectacular. its a good starting point if you want to tour north scotland. a very scenic drive up the a9 to reach aviemore through the drumochter pass. also aviemore being the gateway to the famous whisky distillery trail. other amazing areas to see are at the far north to the east of thurso. |

I live outside Glasgow and I am as far north as I want to go - I don't like green fields and scenery - give me Spain anytime, saying that most people like Aviemore, and Aberdeen, but there is nice scenery around the borders and the lakes. |
