Driving in Scotland. Don't let speeding fines and points spoil your Scottish holiday

There are not many speed cameras in the Highlands. A few going into Inverness, and the occasional one on the road from Crianlarich to Oban.

But if you get caught in the many traps speeding in Glasgow, speeding in Edinburgh, or speeding in Dundee go to this page to get advice.

People have got off before now, following this advice on avoiding fines and points on your licence.

Holiday travellers get off those speeding fines on Scottish roads

The little villages of Ballachulish, Duror, Kentallen, Onich and port Appin covered in a new blog

The photograph is of the old pier at Kentallen, one of the best spots for fishing in the Appin area.

Liitle hamlets in Scotland often have people looking for accommodation but they find difficulty in finding websites. This is because most property owners  use the bigger centres for describing their websites because they want more site visitors. So this blog has been set up just to help visitors to find accommodation providers, such as B&Bs, small hotels and self catering cottages in the area of Appin in general. Ballachulish is the biggest, there are little shops in Duror and Onich, a good hotel in Kentallen, and one of the finest hotels in the area at Port Appin.

The villages of Ballachulish, Onich, Duror and Kentallen, and Port Appin blog

If you are still looking for school holiday self catering holiday cottages, then you would be advised to go now for the bigger complexes with ten or more properties. These are not yet sold out for August, but most of the smaller ones are full. Just put the area you want to stay into Google maps, add the words "self catering" and google will find them for you.
