There are some lovely beaches but it is true, you would want to see a winter in any of these places before choosing something. Apparently everything closes down in winter which would be a bit dull.
And I'm the same with some of the names of the whiskys. Bloody Gaelic!!
We were looking at doing a little tour of Scotland by train next month, but there may be issues finding somewhere to stay in places like Skye.
It's definitely something that can be done by train on the west coast. That's what I like about this side is that there are stations all over the place even in tiny little not even villages. I've not been to Skye but accommodation can be tricky unless you plan well ahead
