Not much of a lap to do and well away from the food sources. Lol
Don't forget Dumfries and Galloway. Much neglected and.unjustly so.
Hopefully you'll have a good time but I wouldn't go back there again.
Both were more like Birkenhead, with many East European accents, dossers and piss heads loitering around.
Mind you, the latter could simply have been your average Scottishlanders indulging in the national pastime.
The scenery is great but ultimately boringly repetitive (I much prefer the variety found in Wales) and there's a lot of "nothing".
Hopefully you'll have a good time but I wouldn't go back there again.
Well apart from the casual racism, SERIOUSLY???
Absolutely.
Shithole, to be honest.
I wouldn't go back if you paid for me to go.
There was a definate [sic] sense of being well past their best, and rather run down.

*definite*
Etymology; from Latin definitus "defined, bounded, limited," past participle of definire "to limit, determine, explain," from de "completely" (see de-) + finire "to bound, limit," from finis "boundary, end" (see finish (v.)). From 1727 in grammar, "defining, limiting." Definite means "defined, clear, precise, unmistakable."
HTH
Thanks, Schtum.
I like correcting grammatical errors as much you appear to.
However, I can't help wondering if you've ever made a post that did anything other than that.
I think that's called projection, old Bean. I don't like correcting them at all but everyone has a cross to bear.
You must have agreed with everything else I said, else you'd have crossed swords with other matters.
Not entirely and no crossing of swords. I'm merely being my usual helpful self. I'm not a big fan of The Fort and as for it being run down, you have to remember how much Westminster steals from our economy.
In fact much of the state of the Highlands today is the result of greed and mismanagement by absent, foreign landlords.
The man is asking advice about a holiday...not the place to peddle childish lies.

Fort Bill was always over-rated, nothing much there at all apart from rain.
Inverness is OK, a nice setting on the river with a decent pub (Castle) and some nice restaurants but at the end of the day, it's another medium sized (by UK standards) town centre with large national retailers and the added bonus of McTourist guff. But it does make a decent base for exploring as you can strike out in any direction. Even the Far North is do-able in 2 1/2 hours quite comfortably.
If you can't be arsed to travel all the way up to Inverness, then a nip across the border to Dumfries and Galloway is definitely worthwhile It's completely different to the Highlands and has enough to do if you're an outdoors type person. Plus you can follow the border road over to Hawick, Jedburgh etc.
Whatever you do, don't spend a few days in somewhere like Spean Bridge and then claim to have 'seen' Scotland.......
