NEW METHOD TO FIND YOUR HOLIDAY PROPERTY ON THE WEB

Photograph taken in November of the Pap of Glencoe. It is stunningly beautiful there, all the time, but none more so than right now. Just look at it.

We have put up a new website covering holiday accommodation on the West Coast of Scotland.

I pretended I was a normal holidaymaker and tried to search for hotels and bed and breakfasts in the chosen area.

The results I got were a mess. The first few pages were taken up by Directories.

But there is a much better way - here it is

Go to Google search and click on MAPS at the top left. Enter HOTELS IN and the location you want, or BED AND BREAKFAST and the location or SELF CATERING or COTTAGES in...
Eg HOTELS IN OBAN or BED AND BREAKFAST IN OBAN

A list will come up showing hotel name, address, telephone number, location map AND REVIEWS by customers.

The list is not comprehensive but it will include the best organised premises who have put themselves on to Google Maps. Some will lie outside your chosen area, though.

Here are the details of the new website.

Our own cottage website is first, obviously.

In Scotland you are surrounded by history, wherever you stay

This photo is of a re-constructed Crannog. These are little island dwellings , just offshore in inland lochs - this one is at Loch Tay, in Perthshire. People lived in them for 1,000 yars or more, originally importing them from Ireland then they spread all over Scotland.

Whereve you stay in Scotland you will be surrounded by fascinating stories, of clans, of battles, of castles, of revolts and rebellions, of great clashes between whole tribes of Britons in Strathclyde, to the Picts of the North and East to the Scots of the West and the Isles. The imagintion can run riot.

Here are just a few historical pages in a self catering website.

Take care if you travel on the A82, from Glasgow to Inverness

We are going to tell you something that the Scottish National Tourist organisation, called VisitScotland, will not tell you.

All the trunk roads in the Highlands of Scotland need treating with care. To get from Glasgow to Inverness there are only two roads to choose - the A9, fast and safe, past Stirling. Or the slow and dangerous A82, up past Loch Lomondside, through Glencoe, around Fort William, past Ben Nevis, alongside Loch Ness and Nessie, to Inverness.

The A82 is bad news at several spots, particularly in the upper end of Loch Lomond, and the stretch from Corran ferry to Fort William and alongside Loch Ness. If you want to go the Skye, or Mull you have to choose the A82 really.

There is no political will to alter the A82. But a special campaign is now at work to get Msps interested so that we get it on the next transport budget.

The Demand A82 upgrade campaign site

This is our own blog site about the road. The A82 tragedies, and accidents.
