Worth every penny. We couldn’t have asked for better weather. Great views over this part of Scotland. 1/2 hour flight felt like 2 minutes.

Amazing from start to finish. So lucky to have the sun. We were so well looked after from initial booking to the day of the flight. Memories to last a lifetime ✈️👨‍✈️🥰

I recently enjoyed an extraordinary experience flying from the river, surrounded by breathtaking mountains and expansive plains. The views were simply spectacular! I wholeheartedly recommend this adventure to everyone—just remember to book your tickets in advance!

We had a great experience on the seaplane. The views were incredible over the isles of Scotland. Make sure you are flexible with dates because we were cancelled twice. This just built up excitement for the eventual trip and it did not disappoint!

Absolutely amazing experience. We took a flight to the isle of Jura, spent two hours there and then flight back. The guys on the plane were very nice and welcoming. We were very lucky with the weather. I recommend this experience to everyone.

Awesome flying experience. Bit pricey but the experience is worth it. Seaplane takes off from Loch Lomond and flies all the way to Kyle and Bute islands. Pilot talks through and explains about the various islands The views from the plane is amazing. Pls ensure to reach the place on time due to work being done on the main road side.

Wow, what an experience. We hit the jackpot with the weather which made it even more amazing. The scenery is stunning, the plane comfortable and pilot friendly and informative. I'd highly recommend the trip to Jura 😊

Extremely Disappointing Experience We had high expectations for Cameron House Spa, but unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. The facility was dirty, with mold visible on the ceilings and light fixtures, which we’ve included in a photo from the men’s changing room. We couldn’t capture the spa itself since phones aren’t allowed, but the lack of cleanliness was shocking. Hair bands and dirt were scattered around, and several showers and saunas were out of use, significantly reducing the space we could use. Many of the lockers were broken, adding to the overall sense of disrepair. The booking process was also very confusing. My partner had purchased vouchers as a gift, but we never received an email confirmation and had to call to get the staff to find our reference numbers. Despite staff repeatedly stating how “busy” it was, there were only around 20 people at the facility by our count. Despite this there was a stressful atmosphere… bizarre given the place is supposed to be about relaxation! Overall, the experience wasn’t worth the time we spent driving there, let alone the money. We won’t be returning.

It's a nice way to spend the day. Hydro pool is nice to relax in, the sauna & caldarium have lovely views over the golf course and the aroma steam room is good too. However the place is in huge need of refurbishment. The IR sauna and the showers in the spa are both out of order so you can't rinse off after a sauna/steam without going all the way back in to the changing rooms. Other parts of the suite are run down/damaged in places too. The real downer is that the infinity pool on the roof is completely out of order. We were told when we arrived that "they had found that half of the water drained" when they got in that morning and we'd be told if it would reopen. Judging by other reviews this has been the case for at least the past month. We went up to the seating on the roof for some fresh air and it's fairly obvious this hasn't been used for a while now. It's quite poor that you aren't warned this is out of order at the point of booking or any point before your arrival.

I had a fantastic experience at Cameron House thanks to Any Clark and Tiffany. Both were absolutely brilliant so professional, friendly, and welcoming. The facial massage was incredibly relaxing and left my skin feeling amazing. Emma and Tiffany made the whole experience extra special with their warm personalities and attention to detail. I can’t recommend them enough truly a five star treatment from start to finish!

Beautiful facilities, treatments with ESPA products, will definitely come back

Me and my sister had the best day here and the staff made our birthday very special. Laura was our therapist and she was so lovely

We’ve been coming to Cameron lodges for 10 years. And I’m sorry to say but the spa experience side of why you book these lodges is a disgrace. The so called heated pools are colder than the loch the spa faces onto. When we complained we were met with oh I’m sorry they should be ok, but it is running a little cooler than normal. THAN NORMAL! It’s so cold that anyone who stepped foot into the infinity pool instantly made an exit. What’s worse the hydro pool indoors is just as cold. It’s a disgrace when you think you’re spending over 1k to stay here. No real explanation or apology just here is a voucher to use another time. We’ve driven 6 hours from south of England to be here: it’s not like it’s on our doorstep to use again. The lodges are great as per. Looking run down in places but overall they are great.

Must visit location if visiting Loch Lomond. Treat yourself to a spa experience you wont forget. The Roof top infinity jacuzzi is the best place to watch the sunset. The hydro pool treatments will leave you floating on the clouds. Nice little gym with top of the range cardio equipment, some weight machines and a free weight rack. The staff are all really friendly and personable. Expect the classic scottish welcome! If you visit after 7pm its practically empty so you can relax as long as you like in all the areas. I use the place a few times a week. Nowhere else comes close for service

Beautiful lake. The boat trip is a must. A walk to the castle is pleasant and quite relaxing. This is a visit to a wonderful park. Not a walk on nature. Overall, I recommend the trip.

A place worth experiencing when you visit Scotland. Everything here is wonderful, from the natural scenery to the people. You can explore this place by both land and water.

What a beautiful place to explore. Had a cruise on the lake which is a must. On a good day you can walk around the loch and climb the Ben Lomond and do a scenic walk in one of the loch’s islands. Make sure you allocate enough time to be able to do most of the activities.

🌊 My Visit to Loch Lomond, Scotland Visiting Loch Lomond was a breathtaking experience. Located just about an hour from Glasgow, it is the largest freshwater loch in Scotland and part of the stunning Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park. Surrounded by rolling hills, forests, and charming villages, the scenery is simply spectacular. I enjoyed a leisurely walk along the shore, boat rides on the loch, and exploring the picturesque village of Luss. The calm waters, reflections of the hills, and peaceful atmosphere make it a perfect spot for photography, picnics, and relaxation. Visitor Tips: Bring comfortable walking shoes for trails, and pack snacks or a picnic. Boat tours and water activities are available during summer months. Early morning or late afternoon visits offer the best light for photos and fewer crowds. How to Reach: Loch Lomond is accessible by car via the A82 from Glasgow or by train to Balloch with onward local transport. Overall, Loch Lomond is a must-visit for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone seeking tranquility amidst Scotland’s iconic landscapes.

Ok so the weather at the end of May was not so great ,but I drove up from Glasgow with a Loch tour booked to my amazment I got there way to early even though I had already been to Dunbarton Castle, but I asked at the kiosk if I could change my ticket and just like that the young lady siad aye there is a boat going in 5 mins so of I went on my second adventure in less than 4 hours.

Lovely scenery and it's a very large area so plenty to see if you are up for a bit of a walk

Beautiful place. Really worth visiting while being in Scotland.

Have visited before (National Trust Cardholder). I find the house an amazing space to walk about and slow down and meander around the rooms and gardens. Design is an interesting aspect and although the house not frugal, is warm, aesthetic to the Art Deco era. Even a small room looks big due to the flow MacIntosh's influence and prominence while remaining down to earth and homely. The facility is suitable for those with some mobility issues and wheelchair users can use and visit the shop, cafe and most of the downstairs areas. The gift shop has some amazing pieces and not overly expensive and excellent quality and Scottish labels endorsing the clothing range, which I would purchase without hesitation.

This is such a good example of Mackintosh's creative talents. It's a unique house, the guides were very knowledgeable. The gardens were lovely. I would highly recommend a visit. The NTS is trying to preserve this house and the "box" will hopefully help with this. It was a good experience to walk around the outside of the house within the box and even walk over the roof. This added to the overall experience.

My first visit to the Hill House was 35 years ago and it left a surprisingly big impression on me that the second visit could not live up to. The years have not been kind to the Hill House which is why the Scottish National Trust has embarked on an impressive renovation plan starting with the addition of the "box" to protect the Hill House from the rain and allow the house to dry out - over a number of years. After which time they can undertake the actual renovation. In the meantime however visiting the Hill House is not the inspiration it once was. The house is dark and musty and feels a little neglected, which of course it isn't. Scotland isn't known for its sunshine but even though the day I visited was quite sunny inside the house felt quite dark. Perhaps that is a side effect of the box or maybe it is intentional to try and hide the true state of the interior (which it doesn't) but it is certainly something the Scottish National Trust could fix. But maybe the "box" makes a visit to the Hill House worthwhile at this point? Certainly it did for me and if I were a first time visitor I'd be thinking I'd want to go back whenever the reno is finished. But, be warned, that might take 15 years and there is a chance the box might be permanent which would be a real shame, the house deserves to stand in the light. The point here though is that the box is a marvellous addition to the house while it serves the purpose of helping the house heal itself (somewhat). And the best part of the box, from a visitor's perspective is that it affords a view of the house from the outside, around and above the house, that will be gone once the box comes down, and I hope that it will.

We had a lovely visit. It was really interesting seeing the house in a box. A tip to the wise - when it mentions that if you go up to the upper walkway to consider carefully if you're not good with heights - do consider it. I regretted it as the floor is not solid and you can see all the way down. Inside the house is beautiful and the guides there are very helpful. I loved seeing it. We also went to the café - the smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwich and the coronation chicken jacket potato were excellent.

Really enjoyed it. They are still working on renovating/refurbishing (yr6 of 10). Very good examples of the Glasgow style - a cross between art deco and art nouveau. Nice gift shop and a tea room as well.

I had not visited before and the facilities - cafe, toilets, parking, shop - exceeded my expectations. The cafe was great, super staff and lovely scones and coffee. Inside, the house was well worth a visit, showcasing Charles and Margaret McIntosh's unique style. The guides were able to answer our questions and were helpful. The current 'Box' surrounding the house somehow enhances rather than detracts from the experience. I loved my visit here.

Fascinating place. Well with a visit if not for the architecture and design then for the unusual views from the outside.

We went to do this hike a few days ago and for us it was really tough. The weather was intense and the climb is intense as well. Our map suggested to go round counter clockwise, but the yellow part we climbed down was extremely scary. It was windy, slippery and raining. There was thick mist, which made the visibility very scary as well. It felt as if we were simply climbing down a waterfall, so after our nerves got the better of us, we decided to go back up and take the same way down as we got up. It took us about 5,5 hours. It might be really worth it with great views, but please bare the weather in mind. Be careful ❤️

A stunning walk with incredible views. It is quite long and steep in some places, a lot of tiring steps towards the end but very much worth it!

Great day out. Clear conditions and paths. Up and down in 4 hours and fantastic views.

A real mountain for any hill walker. Park at the head of Loch Long and after a steep initial slog up the forested side of the loch you reach a long valley walk with Narnain to your right and the Cobbler ahead. Stop at the Narnain boulder for a snack then there are choices to continue to the summit. Yes there are midges in the forest though once up higher the breeze will keep then at away. You can drink from the burn away fro the path and having checked for debris, filter it if you feel happier doing so. The paths are for the sure footed but the route in the valley is as fast as you feel fit. On the top threading the eye of the cobbler takes a bit or nerve as the exposure is not for the faint hearted. Not a place for children to run free but supervised they will enjoy this as a good mountain day. Superb views in all directions give you a proper sense of scale of Scottish mountains and the time it takes to get from one to the others. Water is limited n the top but you can wild camp there and wake up above the clouds. Make a weekend of the Arrocher Alps.

Great short hike only 45 mins from Glasgow. Really striking shape, a clear path throughout if taking route to summit from behind. Much rougher direct route up the face is perhaps best saved for descent. Plenty of parking available at Succoth. Easy to combine with Ben Ime and Ben Narnain for a longer day out.

We had a wet and windy day. The clouds up there where flying fast. It was very slippery at some points so we where extra careful and didn't do anything we weren't comfortable with. Great hike and we felt proud up there 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 We spotted The Cobbler from the top of Ben Lomond and we just had to see it up close. Well worth the trip. We went a slow pace, 4.5 hours up and 3.5 hours down from Succoth car park. Lots of streams to jump over on the way, slippery surfaces too if wet, be careful. Didn't see any wildlife, maybe next time. The trail has had some work done in the forrest areas, it's noticeable, possibly still doing work. I will return again in spring time I think.

Beautiful view, nice decent hike.

We stopped for lunch. We had a tuna melt and a bowl of the sweet potato, coconut, chili soup. It was delicious! All of their soups come with a bread of your choice. At the beginning of the line for food there are some baked items that you can choose. After lunch we strolled through the shop and enjoyed the tyndrum whisky shop. We were able to try a couple samples and we can shop from their website once we are back home. It was interesting to talk with the gentleman about how they source their product. Highly recommend! The bathrooms were clean. There is also a lift if you have a wheelchair.

Well I don’t think it’s changed much in 30 years or so. Not in a bad way. It has a good car park, fast service and hot filled role to set you up before a hill walk. There are a few shops so if you forget something then is a chance you can buy it here. It’s an institution !

This is a regular stop off for us and it never disappoints. A highlight is the soup from the cafe - Cullen skink and lentil are a favourite. There are a selection of hot and cold meals plus cakes and drinks. It’s not the cheapest but it’s what you’d expect from a stop off. There are 3 shops within selling an array of clothing, food, alcohol, jewellery, toiletries and other gifts - a great selection. There’s also washing facilities on site including a washer and dryer for clothes which would be handy for those on the go. The toilets also have Arran Aromatics soap and hand cream which is a lovely treat. There’s plenty of parking also so it’s an ideal spot for a comfort break. We’ll be back!

I’ve passed this place a couple dozen times over the years and have never stopped until today. I’m so pleased we did! Very well stocked grocery shop, great gift shops and really terrific food from the restaurant! My friend had a bowl of Cullen Skink, which she described as ‘sublime’ and I had a macaroni pie and a coffee. The macaroni pie was clearly made fresh / nicest one I’ve ever had! The coffee was really tasty also ❤️ Terrific service - in particular from Gill at the cash register. So very friendly and welcoming. An absolute asset to the business! All of the food looked amazing. Wanted to eat it all! I’ll be back - and soon!

Great stop for comfort facilities. The food is good but somewhat overpriced and restrictive as to what's being served and when. The gift and outdoor shops used to be fabulous. Well stocked with an excellent range of unusual items. I loved popping in to make a few chosen purchases. I was there on Saturday 11/10/2025 and the range of products in both shops had been severely reduced. I was more than disappointed! Gone are the non-outdoor specific but country clothing in the clothes shop - which were unusual, lovely and of excellent quality. Gone is the marvellous range of 'luxury' foodstuffs - they have been replaced by a wall of more novelty socks/key-rings and the like. The whisky shop's selection of drinks has also been severely depleted. You used to be able to find many unusual and difficult to find options. Even the miniature whisky selection was half empty and poorly stocked. The place is awash with Heilan' Coo souvenirs... All in all, selection and quality of stock means I will not be rushing back unless it's to go to the loo!

We stop here often on our way to the highlands and love it. The shop is great for last minute snacks but the cafe is delicious for a quick warm meal. We have tried a selection of the soups and have so far all of them have been great, the Cullen skink is particularly tasty. Would highly recommend

Had a very good gift shop with lots on offer. Toilets very clean and there is a cafe if you want a comfort break. There is plenty of parking and even room for coaches

I'm a solo hiker, who explores forest trails and hills. This place is commuter friendly as it is only less than a mile away from the bus station. The hosts provide elaborate suggestions on places to go in Dunoon and they respond promptly to text messages. They also provide a handy guidebook in the place. The house is well-equipped with cooking utensils, dishwasher, bath soaps, and towels. I'm surprised at how fast their internet connection is for a rural place. And of course, the wonderful Puck's Glen is just a few steps away from this place. I'd also recommend visiting Ben More, Big tree trail, and Kilmun Arboretum

We had a lovely short break. The cabin was well presented with everything we needed. The welcome pack was a nice touch. The cabins are ideally located, about 5 miles from Dunoon and easy to find when travelling either by ferry or driving directly there. I would certainly go again. We booked direct and were able to arrange early check-in and late checkout which was worth the extra. The owners provided plenty ofinformation before and during our stay.

These lodges are delightful. Well maintained with easy to follow instructions for all aspects of the house. We had been left a welcome package of essential bits and the living room was warm and cosy. Lots of amenities close enough for comfort and ease but far enough away this feels like a nice secluded spot. The bed was comfortable, the bedding warm to snuggle under. I'll be returning and I'd recomend it to others.

Great lodge in a beautiful, peaceful location. Calltainn Lodge had everything you needed. Cosy, warm lounge and a very comfortable bed. Great kitchen. Bedrooms are very roomy and plenty of storage space. Excellent communication and information from our hosts. Red squirrels in the morning!

Beautiful location, surrounded by wildlife like deer and red squirrels. Just a few lodges on the site make it feel less crowded and offer more privacy than other sites. Cracking lodges with plenty of space for 2 to 4 people. Plenty of pots, pans and utensils. Even puzzles and board games. The hosts couldn't do more to make you feel welcome, with a wealth of ideas, hints and tips. They really care about the place. You can feel this in the quality of the furnishings and the bedding. A high standard of communication. We'll be coming back!

WOWWWW! What a place! (We stayed at Calltainn Lodge). Perfect location, right next to the trails, close to the town, and very very peaceful! And the lodge makes you feel at home immediately : modern but cosy, clean, great bed, awesome tv-system,... Owners are really friendly too. They won't bother you, but they're only a text message away if you need them. Honestly, can't think of one thing that wasn't good... Will definitely go there again! Thanks for a lovely stay!

I gave my mum and dad a three night stay here for their wedding anniversary and they had a fantastic time. They said the cabin was stunning and had everything they needed in it. They also said the owners were very friendly and helpful and i got them to deliver flowers chocolates and prosecco to my mum and dad which was a really nice touch. They said they would definately go back and would recommend it to others.

Benmore Botanic Garden is one of the most beautiful and peaceful places we’ve ever visited. Tucked in the hills near Dunoon, it feels like stepping into another world — towering redwoods, trickling streams, and endless paths winding through lush green landscapes. We walked beneath massive trees that made us feel tiny, crossed little stone bridges, and paused often just to listen to the sound of birds and running water. The Avenue of Giant Redwoods near the entrance is breathtaking — straight, tall, and awe-inspiring — but every trail leads somewhere new and equally magical. It was actually closed to walk on when we went, but you can still admire it! There are benches and viewpoints scattered throughout, perfect for picnics or quiet breaks, and the small café at the entrance is lovely for a warm drink after exploring, though our kids opted for ice cream. Peaceful, wild, and full of wonder — Benmore Botanic Garden is a must-visit for anyone who loves nature and beautiful walks.

Absolutely stunning place! My boyfriend is disabled and he managed to walk around it okay. If you do have a disability make sure you stick to the easy path. The redwoods were amazing, so beautiful!

Gorgeous gardens full of amazing trees, ferns and other plants. Huge area covered (some closed off due to storm damage) and paths wind in and out everywhere. Think you’d need a fair few trips to explore all of it. Nice cafe, gift shop and a pizza van that does the absolute best pizza!! Definitely worth a visit and we’ll be back

Absolutely beautiful place devided for gardens from different parts of the world. Lot's of paths to walk. Lovely shop and cafe. Will definitely be back there again.

Absolutely beautiful place. There are new things to see round every corner. I was glad to follow the orange route, which was mostly flat and easily accessible. The food in the cafe was delicious. We had the grilled ham and cheese sandwich and the BLT wrap. We arrived before it opened, so parking was easy. It appeared that people may have had more difficulty parking later on as the carpark was full. I would very much recommend this place. We couldn't stop saying 'wow' at the beautiful views.

Had a lovely day at Benmore. Large areas of the park are closed due to storm damage currently but there's still lots to see. The cafe also does phenomenal burgers for reasonable prices.

Benmore Botanic Garden is a gardeners dream , there is so much to see here , when we were here they still had some areas closed due to storm damage but we still had plenty to explore . If you are feeling energetic the walks through the woods up the hill will reward you with stunning views and a wide variety of trees and plants in the themed areas . Well behaved dogs on leads are also welcome . We plan on revisiting to see the rest of it hopefully next year .

We camped here for one night when waking the West Highland Way. Small area for tents was nice, breezy enough to be relatively midge-free, and had its own toilet and shower block which were not the cleanest but functional. The ground was quite hard, but had no problem securing the tent enough for one night. Views were phenomenal! Nice to have the cafe to use for charging phones and a hot meal too.

I want to commend the staff at Glencoe Mountain Chairlift for their patience and kindness. They were very attentive and tried their best to help my child get on the chairlift. Even when she refused, they remained calm, understanding, and respectful, making the experience as stress-free as possible. Their professionalism and empathy made a positive impression on us, and we truly appreciated their support. Thank you for going above and beyond! Thank you for your kindness,,,,, Hope this message gets to them ❤️

Stayed here in the campervan for one night, very reasonable honesty box on the site and the facilities were good 👍 lovely hot showers and a drying room if you needed it. We ate In the restaurant and the food was delicious and the staff really friendly and helpful they couldn’t have been nicer to us. The lift is good outstanding views, and the staff operating it are lovely and reassuring. The views here are unbelievable and was amazing waking up to them, we have been here before to visit but first time staying but won’t be our last ❤️

Staff are absolutely amazing, so kind and couldn't have been more helpful. We stayed during storm Amy and were so happy to have been staying there at the time. We felt safe and looked after. - Drying room wasn't working and they sorted it straight away. - The power went off but they had a generator. - There was a small landslide which they barricaded. - You can hire sleeping bags. Biggest thing they need though are HOOKS!!!! Not a hook in sight in the rooms or dining roo. to hang anything! Mattresses were not super comfy, some chairs and a wee table and bedside light would go a long way too! Special shout out to staff in the canteen who were super helpful and fun too!

We used the ski lift up the hill (mountain?) for the views and it was spectacular. Fun little hike to the top, was a bit challenging but very doable. Had a great cup of tea at the lodge. Would recommend this activity for the stunning views of Glen Coe.

We visited the Glencoe Mountain Centre for a bite to eat and a coffee as it's right by the Three Sisters and surrounding mountain ranges. It's absolutely stunning. Now many go looking for clear blue skies but let me tell you, the drama that came with the rapidly changing weather was just unbelievable! I managed to grab these shots in between the rain showers where little very brief windows of great light popped up so I'd jump out of the car and run a little into the scene and started shooting before the window of opportunity passed. I mean, you might guess that photography is my thing, so I used a pro grade full frame camera and very nice lens for these images but even with my mobile phone I couldn't fail to get some great shots. It's just so unbelievably dramatic, mysterious and immersive a place to shoot. Don't be put off by a few showers here and there. Only avoid if it says foggy conditions as you won't see anything. But any other time it's fair game up there. I'm planning to go back on my own and sleep in the car so I can be up at dawn and get an hour or so shooting in at Sunrise and golden hour. Then I'll head home by 8-9am for the long 8-9 hour drive home. But honestly...it will be worth it. Just do it! 😁👍 Coffee and cake was good at the Glencoe Mountain resort. Very alpine feeling and the staff were great. Very friendly.

Great location right along the west highland way. We stayed in one of the small hobbit huts. It was a much more economical choice in comparison to the other option at this part of the trail. The cafe was cute and had a good selection of both food and drinks. Was able to get tickets to ride the chairlift which offered incredible views. There is also another hike that takes about 45 minutes total that offers great views. Really the only negative is the way the huts are outfitted. I am still giving 5 stars because they were just as listed and it was exactly what I was expecting, but they are bare bones. You can rent sleeping bags, but not pillows or anything else. This night was the worst sleep i got my entire trip. I dont think it would be that hard to have the huts outfitted with some basic bedding and would go a long way in overall comfort level provided. I know alot of their business comes from true skiers, but then even they wouldn't need to plan to being their own bedding and such. Overall still worth it and very pleased with the other services offered.

Had a great time taking the family, i must have been the kids' age since the last time I was here. Still relevant and there now even an escape room! See our full video review on our experience and our day in the town of Inveraray under The Olive Tree Family on all social media platforms.

Well presented piece of history. Free audio made it more realistic with sounds and voices plus a summary of the extensive written information and pictures in each area. To be considered for some would be the climbing of many steps as this attraction is presented on 3 floors.

Had a fabulous time in the jail (you don’t hear that often) Norman(my little brother) was more than welcome here as it is dog friendly. Lots of great information and history. Staff are always welcoming and helpful.

Great visit, very informative showing and explaining the old and new prison, showing old prison keys, handcuffs, straight jackets, cells, outdoor activity called areas, showing what prison is like today. Interesting visit, staff were lovely and informative also!

I was skeptical this would be a small jail and not much there, I was very wrong. Whilst small, there is plenty there to fill 1-2 hours (depending how much information you wish to read). The employee's there are very friendly and welcoming. The audio guide is easy to use and a great balance between being informative but not too long to listen too. An absolute bonus is the fact dogs are allowed, which when it's a rainy day and you have dogs, looking for something indoors, this is perfect. Many thanks.

The escape room is very well laid out and was thoroughly enjoyable. After doing this we decided to visit the museum also. E we found it very interesting and the staff were very helpful and knowledgeable about all the aspects of the jail. Would definitely recommend this for a day out.

Our 2nd visit to this brilliant, educational attraction and this time with our young daughter. She absolutely loved the actors and interacting with them. She listened to some of the audio guided tour. The whole Jail is so well laid out and presented to make you feel like going back in time and really bringing to life how bad things were in jails back in the day.

Inveraray, very easily mispronounced as i found out. A beautiful location indeed. A magnificent castle with all its splendour. I parked in the castle's car park. A grand castle with most rooms open to the public. There are guided tours to take you around, I preferred my own time to investigate each room. A spectacular place to visit in a beautiful part of the world. A grand castle, the breathtaking scenery and friendly people make for a cocktail of delight for the tourist.

Lovely castle which you can pay to go in. The grounds are lovely and have plenty of dog friendly walks. There is a cafe and interesting shop in the grounds. Dogs are not allowed in the formal gardens or inside the castle. Inveraray Castle is definitely worth a visit.

Loverly Castle, well worth a visit. Friendly and helpful staff. Lots of interesting information to read in each room. The antique weapon collection on the walls were impressive. The old kitchen was set out with all sorts of pots ,pans and other old kitchen equipment. Beautiful grounds to spend several hours in. Very good value for money.

Nice Gardens with tea shop at the bottom of the castle. You can either just pay for entry to the gardens or the castle and gardens. Lovely place to walk and explore.

Loved the quick walk around the Castle. Not enough time to do the full tour so we will be back to visit the Castle and town. A lovely gem of a location.

Lovely castle, really interesting and easy to get round. The gardens are fabulous and well worth a walk round. The whole area is gorgeous and you could spend all day here exploring the grounds. Parking is decent with plenty of spaces. It's literally 2 mins from Inveraray village as well, so not far to go for lunch and gift shopping.

My grandmother was a Campbell so getting to visit here was amazing. The castle is beautiful & has so much history. The gardens are beautiful. There is a tea room where you can eat & a gift shop.

Booked a 20m pony trek to break up the journey back home for the kids- they absolutely loved it! Beautiful scenic trot along the loch, really personable and friendly service - the kids chatted happily about Santa and their Christmas presents! The horses were happy to be petted and the experience wasn’t rushed at all. Already planning our next visit.

Very well loved and cared for pony's and clean establishment. A very sedate trek through Woodlands. My daughter and I are established riders and were obviously given pony's for beginners (I have not ridden a pony that small for a long time which I did say Amber was small but they insisted she was a great pony for me). One of the staff trekking with us was very friendly and a pleasure to hack with but the other lady was not so friendly and talked down to us in a rude manner with instructions as if we were inexperienced and she kept having to tap my daughter's pony with the whip to make it move. Excellent place for novice riders but if you are a competent rider (which we made quite clear we were when filling out the online form) don't expect anything more. We were also expecting a loch side hack but it was a woodland trail which was still good but not as advertised. It would've been nice to have had a little trot or canter but that was not to be.

A great yard, with very well cared for horses. My daughter and I were led by the very experienced and friendly Anneka. It was a stunning trek with some lovely trotting. An all round wonderful experience . Thank you

Kids loved the horse riding... staff were great with them Very professional and very friendly... Great day out to remember 🤠

Booked a 20 minute pony trek for our 5 year old and 9 year old who had never ridden before. The experience was brilliant, easy to book online, friendly staff and Blaze and Keith the ponies were gorgeous. The stables are ideally placed on loch fyne so that the whole trek had beautiful views of the loch. Highly recommend!

I called to book no answer several times eventually left a voice mail requesting to book … never had a reply almost at the end of my trip to Inveraray … still no reply … sigh !!

Lovely staff, very friendly and knowledgeable. We had a wee trek as we were beginners. Nice experience.

Absolutely beautiful church building. The architecture and scenery was breathtaking! Nice little tearoom. A nice pit stop. Coffee cheap (and tasted it) but we were grateful for refreshment. Didn't notice a WC which was needed. Free entry, limited parking. Not too busy. We really love this spot.

Drove for just over two hours to visit the kirk. Well worth it and no amount of pictures does this place justice. One thing to note... entry costs are a donation, some similar places like castles charge £18 to enter and this place can cenrtainly keep me amazed just as much as they can

Stunning church with so much history restoration work blends in perfectly no payment but you can donate with card which makes more sense as very few of us carry cash .Also take time to walk around the grounds and gardens beautiful views down Loch Awe .

Beautiful building, and worth visiting if in the area. Free entry but donations welcome as the upkeep of the building is substantial. We visited at Halloween so decorations were up along with some smoke and spooky lighting coming from the crypt.

The kirk sits on the shores of Loch Awe which makes for a magnificent setting. The stained glass windows are beautiful and the detail of each is unbelieveable. The details were hard to capture with the camera so I hope I did them justice with my photos. The real suprise was the effigy of Robert the Bruce. A magnificent sculpture carved of wood and alabaster. It took me by surprise as I had done almost no research on the contents of the kirk. I felt like he was sleeping right next to me, just waiting to come out of his slumber. This is one of the best kept secrets in Scotland. An absolute must see.

One of the most beautiful churches I’ve ever seen. We drove the entire country on our recent trip and this is one of the highlights of the entire journey. Couldn’t recommend it more.

I was absolutely amazed! I was not expecting to see a chapel to Robert the Bruce. There's actually a piece of hos bone here. The church was beautiful, another must stop on your tour of Scotland.

Interesting exhibition about the hydro-electric power station. There is a lovely café with great food and friendly staff. We had coffee and scones one day and popped in for a light lunch on another day. I’d recommend walking up to the dam if you’re able to, where you’ll be rewarded with stunning views over Loch Awe.

Not as deep or long a tour as you might like, but fascinating all the same. Brilliant tour guide, funny and informed. This is Corp PR big time but still a great insight and the feeling of being under the mountain was great. The cafe is a shining service though. Good price and truly excellent service. Check out the bird table.

If you need a spot to stop with children I cannot recommend this highly enough. Great cafe, wee playground and an a fantastic play room. Beautiful views over the loch.

Fantastic tour of the 1.1km drive through the mountain to the hydro generation plant. Excellent guide takes you through the history of this fully operational station. Good food in the cafe serving local produce. Also a good selection of souvenirs although I wax disappointed that there were no t shirts on sale. Well worth a visit especially if you are engineered minded!

A great time. Yes, the tour could be longer for the price - and should be - but it is nice to see and the people at the facility are very knowledgeable and were happy to discuss power related topics. No bags or photography is allowed on the tour but lockers are offered if you don't want to leave your things in your car.

A pretty boring tour, a minibus basically takes you to the tunnel, and then you all you do is go to a viewing platform to see some metal cylinders. I wanted to see more and also more information from the guides. This tour has the potential to be great, but at the moment, it’s not the best.

Well worth a visit. It's a shame that we were not able to visit the turbine hall as they are installing new equipment. But still worth going lots of good information for all ages groups

Went up at night to camp at the lake and on the way up i kept hearing the voices of a young couple, sometimes behind me and sometimes in front but no a person in sight. On one occasion i heard what was a combination of the couple talking and torches heading down the hill but again there was no one there. I made it up to the lake and pitched my 'coffin tent' and had a quick brew. The clouds parted and the moon came out which of course caused temperatures to plummet, so it was a bit chilly. Woke up at a decent time l, packed up and headed up to the summit. A tough climb and hard on the legs. The views were superb but the top was blanketed in cloud and a bit cold. The climb down was rewarding as i passed pained faces heading up. The weather was decent but rain became persistent. Top tips, be ready for changes in the weather, have the right kit especially sturdy walking shoes and plenty of water and snacks. It does become mind over body if you are not particularly fit, so be prepared! Most of all have fun and be safe, always check the weather before you start.

Ben Nevis is an absolute must-visit for anyone who loves the outdoors. The natural beauty is truly awe-inspiring — from the lush green valleys and rugged slopes to the panoramic views from the summit, every step is worth it. On a clear day, the views are simply spectacular, stretching for miles in every direction. The most popular route, the Mountain Track (also known as the Tourist Path), is well-maintained and accessible to most fit walkers, even those without mountaineering experience. That said, it's still a challenging climb, so proper gear and preparation are essential. There’s also parking and facilities at the Glen Nevis Visitor Centre, which makes starting your hike straightforward. Whether you're an experienced hiker or just someone looking to witness Scotland’s natural grandeur, Ben Nevis delivers an unforgettable experience. Just be sure to check the weather forecast before heading up — it can change quickly!

A beautiful mountain with great views of the Scottish Highlands. We hiked at the start of November so the weather was quite windy, wet and there was snow at the peak. It was a little tough towards the top with lots of rubble and snow with freezing temperatures.

Climbed Ben Nevis on the 15th of October after keeping an eye on the Ben Nevis weather report on the days leading up showing a high pressure climate over the area. The walk itself isn’t tough but due to the length of the hike, it can be tiring. From the foot of Ben Nevis it looked as though it was going to be a long, wet walk but just over two thirds of the way up - the clouds that I’d walked through for 200 metres were parting and opening up to magnificent views across the region. For miles you could see, a sea of white clouds and all that was in view were the summits of other Bens in the distance for miles and miles in each direction. I’d always recommend checking the weather forecast for the Ben Nevis summit before heading out and bringing lots of liquids and a packed lunch aswell as dressing to the weather conditions.

Beautiful and refreshing experience. It was an arctic atmosphere up there at this time of the year up the summit and very challenging hike up there but very enjoyable and fun trip from bottom to top. One of the best routes and all round good scenery. Loved my time of stay over the weekend

Absolutely amazing mountain to hike went in April was amazing hike planning and coordination needed to get through the snow well worth it for a first timer you should only go in summer conditions or don’t go to the top as it’s extremely hard to navigate. Luckily for me I met four amazing guys with the knowledge and experience of the mountain and helped and guided me to the top. Wellies are not the boots to wear 🤣

From to start to finish Ben Nevis offers some incredible views. It's definitely not the easy and a much harder climb then Scafell and Snowdon so be prepared, the views are worth it though. I would recommend parking at the Glen Nevis visitor center, makes the start straight forward.

Most of routes we rode are decent quality. Limited availability for bikes on the gondola, so check before you go. Great service in the café/bar. Loads of parking only £5 per day, or £15 overnight. Biggest gripe is the poor quality of trail maps and terrible signposting on/off trails, especially where the logging has trashed tracks/paths. Had an argument with a very racist Scotsman who insisted that it was a free country; he had a right to roam wherever he wanted and as he lived locally, we should go home. Fortunately, as he was walking on a slower, uphill section of route (Adder Climb), no one was hurt, but feel unless routes are clearer, serious injury could occur.

Came for a day out with the family. Views from the top are spectacular you can see for miles on a good day. Great day out for all the family. Various walks to do and the cafe to visit for snacks. We enjoyed our picnic before heading up on the gondola.

Simply one of the best mountainbiking locations in the UK. Outstanding trails await, and for the visitor aside from easy accessible parking there's a recently redesigned visitor centre with excellent retailers and a bike shop where you can hire bikes also of course. There are trails to suit all skill levels and plan to spend most of a day here as it's a whole day kind of place. Superb cafe on site also. For any bikers this is an essential place to experience.

Cafe near parking at first glance looked great, aesthetic decor etc - but couldn’t believe we were given paper plates and cups. They responded to a similar review saying that it was due to efficiency during busy periods - there was only 3 other tables being occupied during my visit. I don’t know any other cafe that does this during their busy periods… It makes a huge difference having proper crockery for a sit-down cafe meal - both for the experience and, of course, for the environment. All the more important when you’re paying sit-down meal prices. Unfortunately the food didn’t make up for it either. The coffee was burnt and bitter so I couldn’t finish. I ordered one of the sandwiches. The bread was stale and the ham had gone hard - clearly having sat out too long. I would have ordered the hot food, it looked nice, but it was just quite expensive for the portion sizes - and didn’t like the idea of eating a liquidy stew on a paper plate. As I mentioned, the decor is nice, with clean tables and nice staff, so it was just a bit disappointing.

Really beautiful place to visit. Dog friendly too. Family ticket for gondolas were £65 and ride up and down as much as you like. The two walks to the viewpoints offer amazing views. Knocked off one star for the price of food and drink, totally understand it’s a tourist attraction etc but £2.35 for a can is very steep! Very friendly and helpful staff, cafe at the top has amazing views.

I bought tickets online, saving the need to queue (check online for days that it is open). Temperature was taken before boarding the gondola (although I wasn't convinced it was accurate as it was uncharacteristically quite low). The gondola was nice and slow moving when I got on, which saved me panicking. We didn't share with anyone else, so it felt covid safe. The ride up was incredible! Breakfast in a box was very hearty, but you could only sit outside in the freezing cold to eat it! It gave us an opportunity to enjoy the views. We headed right for a lovely walk which was fairly easy. I was grateful I had sturdy walking boots on, because it is gravelly/rocky. The view at the top is tremendous! The flora and fauna is brilliant! Loved it!

The gondolas were closed for the day at our arrival time (because of strong winds), while the website said it was open at our departure time this morning. I understand weather can change and that shit happens, but to have paid 6£ for 20 minutes of parking is outrageous !

Pick a clear dry day to visit and it will be nicer. Parking is close by and there is a lovely walk along the canal and some great boats moored up. The cafe by the locks is well worth a visit as well. Don't go on a wet and windy day like we did, although the dog didn't mind the weather.

Fantastic bit of engineering, timing wise we got to see some boats going up. There is a cafe and a shop there and you can make a good walk around the area which is well worth it.

Excellent Walk up by the canal locks. Wonderful scenery with Ben Nevis close by. Amazing engineering of the canal locks known as Neptune's Staircase. Neptune's Staircase is a flight of eight locks on the Caledonian Canal near Fort William, Scotland, built by Thomas Telford in the early 1800s. It is the longest staircase lock flight in Scotland and takes boats approximately 90 minutes to traverse, raising them about 19.5 meters (64 feet). The site is a popular attraction for watching boats in action, trainspotting on the nearby West Highland line, and enjoying scenic views of Ben Nevis.

We timed this visit perfectly. It was really interesting to see the lock working for a large cruise boat and then a few smaller boats. It takes 90 mins for a boat to pass through the 8 locks. It was built in the early 1800s

Pretty cool lochs from over 200 years old. We happen to time it right as a couple of boats were in the last lock and preparing to go down river. Relatively easy hike up to the top lock. A treat honesty box along the way to top it off

Neptune's Staircase is an amazing experience when there is big boat ascending the locks. What an awesome feat of engineering 👏 it's free PARKING, an newly renovated park area for the kids, with plenty of shading and picnic benches. As you walk up the left hand side of the canal you will find the most amazing icecream 🍦 shop, they do doggie icecream too. We had a fantastic time and spent a few hours here watching the boat go to the other side of the road and railway lines..well worth a visit...

We changed upon this interesting spot as we drove past on our way to Glenfinnan viaduct. We spent a good hour here. We have seen locks in England (look it up if you don't know the term). But never a "staircase" of them (a series of lock steps). Also as luck would have it, 4 ships were in the process of making their way down. We enjoyed seeing them do so. We spoke to the staff operating the mechanism to get the basics understood. Overall we enjoyed ourselves. And learnt a couple of new things. If you have a curious bend of mind and approx 30-45 minutes, this will certainly be worth your time.

A fantastic small museum in the heart of Fort William! Full of fascinating exhibits on Highland history, Jacobites, Bonnie Prince Charlie, and local WW2 stories. Well laid out, free entry with friendly staff and volunteers. A hidden gem—definitely worth a visit

This was a hidden gem of a museum to visit, delving into the history of the Highlands many decades back! Stories are told about the military from up here during WW2 and their advancement maps shown, alongside weapons that had been in use like different sized rifles and machine guns. Model ships are on display and there is a fascinating piece of info about how letters used to rely on the tide of the sea to reach the nearby St Kilda Islands, covered in a float made from sheep bladder! Classic Scottish culture elements such as bagpipes and kilt are focus points, powerful axes from the 20th century and machinery used by Flora Macdonald of the Jacobites have their info too. Dolls are cute of traditional Highland families and farmers, creatures include the rare feral goat and some even go many centuries back to the Jurassic age with the fossils!

This place is great! A really nice museum and is free. Has a good collection spread out over about eight themed rooms. I really loved it, especially the things which belonged to Bonnie Prince Charlie. The volunteers were great and even had a brochure to explain the history through the lens of Outlander which I enjoyed! I would have enjoyed it without that too as I find the history really interesting. Everyone in there is nice. Donations very easy to give and nice little souvenir shop. Dog friendly too!!!

Bigger than you'll expect from the outside, especially for free admission! Several rooms showcasing different parts of West Highland history. Worth a visit during your day trip to Fort William

Friendly and helpful staff. Fantasic and worth a visit. Free entry. You can park at Middle Street Short Stay Car Park - free for half hour but remember to get a park and display ticket. Another option is to park at Morrisons (+5 minutes walk).

A passing visit to get out of the cold and rain turned into an enjoyable and informative couple of hours. Obviously, it's focused on the West Highlands, but includes a large section on the Commandos whose original training centre was close by. Plenty about the local geology, flower and fauna and, naturally, a large display on the Jacobite rising and Bonnie Prince Charlie. Being English (from about as far from Fort William as possible), it was interesting to see this from a different perspective. Admission is free, but well worth a donation to keep the place running.

The building is massive inside, and I was very surprised at the sheer amount if history that's stored in this museum. The volunteers explained the walkaround, and photography is very much encouraged. From fossils to swords, cannonballs to antique books, there's a myriad of ancient & antique items here to marvel at as well as a canny little shop at the end. A very fascinating place and a great way to spend a worthwhile half hour. Loved it.

Spotted this Old church on Google maps when planning my trip. stopped off as we were passing. Well worth a 30 minute stop to talk a walk round the graveyard, some great old 17th century stones to look at. Also a great Glen Viewpoint. Also some toilets over the road as well, small roadside layby parking.

Great place to visit while traveling in Scotland

Lovely little spot. 4-5 short hikes on well signposted map. Lovely for quiet stroll. Just a small carpark with a very friendly, informative man in a small cabin, information hut. There is a board outside where hikers can pencil down what they have seen on their hikes. The only place during our 5 day trip where we bumped into highland cows.

An Unforgettable Visit with Highland Titles – Thank You, Stewart! We absolutely loved our time with Highland Titles! From start to finish, it was an unforgettable experience — made even more special by our incredible guide, Stewart. He was not only welcoming and knowledgeable but also a true advocate for conservation and the natural beauty of Scotland. His passion for the mission of Highland Titles was evident in every part of the tour. We were incredibly lucky to snag a last-minute tour spot due to a cancellation, and we’re so grateful we did. Ever since becoming a “Laird and Lady” of Scotland and adopting the twin Highland coos, we had hoped for the chance to visit the reserve. The personal tour exceeded our expectations — every part of the land, every story shared, every conservation effort explained was inspiring. One highlight was seeing the bee hives painted by local primary school children — a touching sign of the community connection Highland Titles fosters. Another highlight (and possibly the biggest for my wife!) was meeting the Highland cows — especially the twins and Donald. Being able to step into the pasture, feed them, brush them, and interact up close made for such a joyful and meaningful experience. It was clear these animals are cared for deeply and respectfully. Thank you, Stewart, for your energy, knowledge, and your genuine love for the land. And thank you to Highland Titles for doing the vital work of restoring and protecting one of the most beautiful places on earth. Your efforts make a lasting impact — and our visit will be a memory we cherish forever.

Beautiful walks. The main walk is doable with a pushchair, which we parked on the edge of the path to carry our baby up a gravel hill to visit the highland cows. Toilets available. Visitor center was extremely helpful and friendly. Good parking. Would recommend highly.

Back in April 2025, my friend adopted Andy and Ewan for my birthday gift. This weekend we went to see them. Absolutely wonderful is the only way I can describe it. Our tour guide and buggy driver was Stewart (the chap is fond of an emoji - if you know you know 😂). This gent knows his stuff. He explained about the non native tree planting and how the reserve is slowly rectifying that, the bees and how they are educating the local schools, and so much more. We loved it so much, we are returning in August next year to visit Andy, Ewan, their new pal Donald and, of course, Stewart 👍

We spent time with Stewart who gave a very informative guide to the reserve. Met the Coo’s who were adorable. Well worth a visit, really good cause. 👏👏

Staying at Oban and decided to visit Highland Titles again. (Checked by phone call to ensure it was ok as we didnt need a tour). My hubby purchased ourselves a plot of land each and a 'title' in 2016 for our wedding anniversary which we visited. We have been 3 times now to see the changes. The conservation project which is on going there is remarkable. The changes to the reserve are amazing. From hedgehog hospital, bee hives for their honey, Highland cows, mischievous piglets, lochans to entice birds and other animals. A Scottish wild cat program is on going. Planting new trees etc. It all needs to be seen what happens and continues to enhance and entice nature. We would recommend anyone interested in nature to see the reserve and work carried out there

Well signed posted, friendly staff. Had a lovely walk through the woodland and found our plot easily. Only wished we had brought a flag to hoist, especially as we came from Australia. There is a toilet for public use, but nothing else. They also have some young highland calves to pet. And if you stay still a while you may see other birds and animals.

Had a walk to this impressive monument and gardens. Steep climb from Oban Town. We were not blessed with blue skies, but, probably more appropriately very low cloud and drizzle which didn't give us those views which I'm sure would be stunning. Having seen pictures. Undaunted we still enjoyed the experience. I would encourage folk to pay a visit and research how it came to be?

Rather a steep uphill slope but well worth it for the views from the top. Very well maintained garden are within the tower with commanding views across Oban Town and out to sea. Well lit at night too. Small free car park nearby should you wish to drive to visit. No toilets at site. Very pleased we finally made the effort to get to the tower.

With an easy uphill hike or drive from Oban's town centre, (free parking) with steps or walkway to the entrance) you are presented with Scotland's McCaigs tower on the hill, no lions I am afraid, maybe a pussy cat now and again and no seats, so no lounging around. But do take in the amazingly masterful stone masonry and awe inspiring scenery. You will not be disappointed.

Fantastic viewpoint and historical landmark. On a clear day you can see out past Lismore lighthouse and all across that beautiful area out to Mull. We'll worth the visit plus it costs nothing.

Amazing views all the way out to sea could do with a little more information about the place sign posted other than that was a nice walk for the views

Great views of Oban from here. Built in the late 1890s as a means of keeping local masons employed during the winter months. Funded by a local wealthy businessman, John McCaig.

Great views across the bay from the viewing gallery. Car park at the tower. Driving up and down take your time as single track in places and reduced to one lane with parked cars elsewhere

A lovely and interesting tour. Our guide, Gavin, spoke very engagingly and passionately about the distillery and the whisky. He was also incredibly knowledgeable and conveyed this knowledge in a captivating way, with a touch of humor. It was also particularly nice that there was a special tasting package for those who still had to drive.

We had a great time on our tour with Kevin! He kept us laughing and kept the whisky and history of Oban flowing! Very nice facility in a quaint seaside village. Great value for price paid.

Had a nice tour of the distillery and learnt how whisky is made. Our guide Ross was very knowledgeable and friendly. And we got to taste three very good whiskies :-) highly recommended if you're interested in whisky.

Jack provided a great tour of this historic whisky distillery. The Oban Distillery is a must see in Oban and the whiskies were delicious.

I arrived on a rather cold and blustery November Monday after a 2.5hr drive from the eastern Highlands. Upon entering the distillery, I was greeted by Eilidh whose warm smile made me feel immediately at home. Sarah was our tour guide who went above and beyond answering my questions both during the tour and afterwards. I also had a great chat with Callum in the gift shop before closing. At the bar upstairs, I enjoyed what may likely be the best dram of Oban I’ll have for the foreseeable future, the ex-Oloroso and ex-Palo Cortado finished “Young Teddy.” I just wish I had the opportunity to purchase a bottle when it was first released. Hope this visit to Oban won’t be my last 🥃

One of the best Distillery visits I have done. The Oban Distillery is one of the oldest (legal) distilleries in Scotland and it's size is somewhat constrained by its position right I'm the centre of Oban. Instead of six or even eight stills you might find in some of the massive Speyside distilleries Oban has only two so production is limited. The Distillery visit is well animated by the Distillery staff and, unlike other visits, wee drams are distributed throughout the visit. On a rainy day in Oban this a great way to spend a couple of hours.

Having visited numerous distilleries across Scotland, Oban Distillery stands out as one of the an exceptional experience that shouldn’t be missed. This historic distillery, nestled in the heart of the port town, offers an intimate tour showcasing their remarkable two-still operation and sustainable practices. What truly sets Oban apart is their passionate, knowledgeable staff who bring infectious enthusiasm to every aspect of the whisky-making process. The tour cleverly incorporates tastings throughout, allowing you to appreciate their craftsmanship firsthand. Whether you’re a whisky novice or seasoned enthusiast, Oban’s authentic atmosphere, expert guidance, and impressive artistry make it a standout destination that perfectly balances education with genuine Scottish hospitality.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Been wanting to visit since our last trip to Oban a few years ago, and managed to do it today. Very interesting and varied exhibits, most if not all donated to them! Amazing info boards that go with the exhibition. Historical facts and a movie about the local area and history in the back room. The volunteers and staff are very knowledgeable and happy to explain or help in any way. Donations are welcome and encouraged as they don't have other types of funding, and they keep it as free entry.

Amazing piece of history set in beautiful scenery. Lots of information into the site. Staff in the museum were very friendly and keen to share their knowledge. We had a great time there

Great little museum to visit to learn about war history in Oban and Scotland.

So much history here! Definitely worth a visit for a wee donation. The man on duty was very knowledgable and friendly. A lot to see

This was a lovely little museum. I’m not really into war stories or war memorabilia I just I’m not into that. However, this was a very nice exhibit, I would love to see more history but the local area apart from the wars which would span other areas and might make more interesting for people like myself who don’t have an interest in wartime items. However, this really gives you an insight into the people of the area and who served and who died in the conflicts in recent times. The staff were excellent and very friendly definitely worth a visit.

This Museum is free, so was not expecting a lot, wow it was full to the brim with 1st and 2nd WW memorabilia, photo's, models and a lot more.. see pics. It's all on one floor so easy to get around, helpful gents on entrance to send you in the right direction 👌

Fantastic museum, very friendly staff and great museum badges you can buy.

Really great ferry trip return from Oban to Mull, the staff were ready, vessel was nice and had a full service cafe and shop onboard. Plenty of seats inside and outside, a wonderful day to trip from

Admittedly I have gone on few ferries in my 50 years—and most that I have were on this visit to Scotland. The CalMac has a bad rap but we had excellent experiences with the 5 passages we took. The Oban to Lochboisdale was surprisingly enjoyable. The check in process was easy. Once the car is in line you can leave the car to visit the terminal to use the restroom. The model of the Isle of Mull ship was amazing! They ding you to let you know when to get back in the car to move onto the ferry. That process was very smooth. Once on board we had a nice meal, ate snacks, used the WiFi, enjoyed the view, drank at the bar, took a nap, used the restroom. The ship was clean (for mass transit) and all the staff were helpful and friendly. Left and arrived on time. Easy to buy tickets online beforehand but v didn’t need to—in think there were only a handful of other passengers heading to Uist when visited in early May.

Excellent service. Ferry was delayed by Scotrail incoming train and 6 of us missed the last train to Glasgow. They put pressure on Scotrail to organise transport. Made it to Glasgow by 2:30am and not losing 9 hours of my Sunday to get back to Manchester! Really helpful staff, they even pointed out dolphins on the ferry ride. Will definitely be back!

The ferries we took to and from Oban to the Isle of Mull ran on time They were clean with plenty of seating and chairs inside and outside Helpful staff, clean toilets and a little shop selling souvenirs and snacks all add to the pleasant experience

The ferry ride from Oban to Mull was very pleasant. The tickets are less than £5 for pedestrians and the amenities are excellent. Everything was clean, the staff helpful and there are plugs to charge devices. A large coffee cost me £3.70 which seems fair.

Booked tickets to go to Mull. Young lady very helpful telling us that we needed to be at the terminal at least 30 minutes before sailing time. Very modern building, entrance to ferry like walking down to board a plane. Extremely cheap to go to Mull, £7 return tickets, for approaching an hours journey both ways very reasonable.

We booked 2 people and a car from Oban to Mull day return. Due to an oversight on my part,we arrived too late to check in,but a jolly Scotsman allowed us to stay and wait for the next ferry. The ferry trip was excellent. Very clean and comfortable with pleasant staff. Prices for food and drink were a little steep as expected.

We’ve been through many botanical gardens, from Texas to California to Florida and Hawaii. Shocked to discover that this gem on the West Coast of Scotland is one of the best. Perfectly maintained, and filled with a seemingly endless supply of flowers and plants. Blooms were beautiful, and the trees were magnificent. Worth the fare. Make sure you have at least an hour. We raced through in 30 minutes and felt that there was much more to see.

Beautiful gardens to visit run by Historic Scotland, seating all around, 2 different trails to follow, fantastic view point looking over Loch Melford, Plenty parking available, hotel on site for lunch / drinks. Dog friendly Small play park for children up to age 12.

Nice garden that's worth a visit. Some parts are well established with many rhododendron varieties. Very nice views over the bay

Lovely garden to wander around. Fantastic viewpoint. Lots of benches to sit and enjoy the peace and quiet

The garden is really 5 stars & the work going on is a credit to the team there. Lots of great plants many with very high botanical value & interest. The only thing that wasn't so good was the signing & entrance. If it was sharper I'm sure a lot more folks would stop & enjoy this great site.

Lovely gardens and good for butterflies, small rodents and birds too, fantastic views across the islands

Great place to walk around have a picnic lots of places to sit staff are good

Fort William’s shimmering backyard comes alive at golden hour when kayakers paddle past curious seals. The sun sets directly behind the Ardgour hills, painting the water in fiery hues and beautiful colors. Perfect for jetty picnics, if the weather is good.

Beautiful sea loch with beautiful scenery

Heavenly! The rooms were clean, and cozy! Most importantly, the view is everything! Has everything you need in a kitchen. Just go along with your own groceries. Felt like home!

Stunning vistas from the shoreline. The mountains mirrored the water like nothing I've seen before.

A beautiful Loch with such a variety of views. We've stayed in Onich with amazing scenery over the Loch and mountains. Gorgeous sunsets from here.

Absolute beauty. This place is heaven for nature lover.

We always start our Bookitlist.co.uk National 3 Peaks 24hr Challenge with a foot in the water of Loch Linnhe (a beautiful picturesque spot) & ending it with a foot in the sea at Caernarfon Castle looking across to Anglesey ...

We arrived at 9:30 am for the 10:45 train, but both car parks were already full. We ended up parking at a nearby hotel, about a 5-minute walk away. Still, the old-fashioned train reminiscent of Harry Potter was well worth the effort.

Wow what an absolutely beautiful spot this is. The viaduct is about a 10 minute walk from the car park. There is a main spot to get pictures from which gets busy but it's worth looking round for less packed spots to catch the magical train going past with all the bells and whistles going off and the steam. Across the road is a monument you can pay £5 to fo to the top off which gives you some fantastic views. The stairs are a little tight and there is basically a trap door to get up to the top but the guide at the start gives you a full brief and was full of great information.

Wonderful experience. If you are fan of harry potter you can’t Miss this place. The train pass two times per days. Form the parking, you have to walk circa fiftheen minutes in order to reach the place. The trail is not easy

Every time we are close to Fort William, Inverness, Glencoe, or anywhere West Scotland in that matter, we go for a walk around Glenfinnan Viaduct, monument, and the lake. Rain or shine, we go there. It's just breathtaking. If we get to see Hogwarts Express, bonus points.

I'm a middle-aged woman, but this place still made me SUPER excited for the Harry Potter train! Many people arrive an hour early to get the best spot for photos before the train passes and it’s sooooo worth it. Choo~ choo~ The moment the Jacobite steam train appears with that iconic sound, everyone gasps with excitement and anticipation. If you come to Scotland, make time for this. Seriously!

A one of its kind experience. Must visit place among Highlands of Scotland. Following the craze of the Harry Potter movie and witnessing the steam engine train pass that bridge, was a breathtaking moment. The place itself is mesmerizing. The beautifully crafted bridge between two sides of mountains, and the greenery, fresh Breeze and the lake, Beauty at its Max! Ample parking space for visiting this place. Cafe and eatery available near parking.

If you are a great Harry porter series fan, and you love to explore the paces where the senses were captured, than I would recommend you to explore the place. You will love it. If you want to capture the scene with Train, than you should arrive there at 2:30 pm or 11:30am. As the train times are 3pm and 12pm, it get delayed sometimes bcz of weather conditions, but runs regularly on weekdays. I hope you enjoy it.

really great staff, plenty of parking available and an easy walk to the viewpoint of the bridge. I wouldn't recommend paying for the actual jacobite steam train, though, because it's very expensive, dated and not well maintained.

The Glenfinnan Visitor Centre is excellent with a nice shopping area and very clean facilities. I was surprised to learn the building is quite new and it shows in the quality. I had no trouble finding a parking spot although I arrived about an hour early which might help. There are two paths to the viewpoint, one goes straight to the viaduct and is definitely the better option while the other is less impressive. Overall a great stop that makes the experience even more enjoyable.

Allows at least 1-2 hours in advance, in order to find a parking. Don’t park on the street, otherwise you will receive ticket. This visitor center provides toilets inside the shop which is pretty good.

Beautiful experience watching the Jacobite train crossing the Glenfinnan Viaduct! But just a small note —Today, the afternoon return train that was scheduled to pass around 3:30 pm arrived earlier at 3:13 pm. So, it’s best to come at least 20 minutes early to avoid missing it.

Very friendly staff. Good,small exhibition. Great little shop and cafe. Viaduct and monument definitely worth a visit.

Car park gets very busy if you're coming to see the jacobite train pass the viaduct. Get there early! There were like 200 people on a very rainy Thursday in September watching the trian. I alcan only imagine how many come at high season in August.

This attraction is free to enter, but car parking is £4. Very interesting center, with a bit of everything from geology to history to natural sciences. I especially enjoyed the tour. The center is dog-friendly, and a staff member gave my dogs treats. The only downside was it took ages to get served in the cafe.
