    I'll look into B&B we were also looking at some of the vacation rentals recommended on tripadviser.com. I do love a full Scottish breakfast, but I don't think I could do it everyday, but I'm sure between those, the short bread and the seafood my waistband will be tighter at the end of it.
    I assume you are driving. The one drawback is you don't get to enjoy the view when driving through the mountains; otherwise, you will become airborne and enjoy it even less.

    Give way (yield) to the right when entering LEFT into a roundabout (we have only 2 in Houston) and get into the correct lane so that it spits you out onto the desired road. In the Highlands you will be driving on a lot of single-lane roads, which have aneurisms called "lay-bys". You pull over to your LEFT to let on-coming traffic pass. My only concern when driving the single-lane roads was not seeing possible on-coming traffic when there was a "summit" (hill) in the road. Before I left, I printed off the Scottish (British?) road signs to get familiar with the differences. As a lefty, I found driving on the left quick to get used to.
