Neat info. on driving back then and Janis you can post on driving anywhere, anytime...

Improviser - no worries as my plan is to park the car in the city for our short stay - we need to hang onto it though as we still need it once we leave.

linTeam - I need to visit the map - it sounds like I have it marked in the wrong spot. It doesn't look that far out of the way from the main road, but it's tough for me to tell. Is it worth detouring to for two nights before turning around, going to Edinburgh?

Back to the drawing board if Torridon doesn't work - this leave us with a two night stay at an inn on S. of Sleat with cots, or a longer self-catering stay at North Skye, or self-catering Loch Ness.

Huh, as if racing qualifications mean anything on city streets. Oh well, I guess having Colin McRae as my neighbour doesn't count either. ROTFLMAO

Edinburgh is no harder to drive in (less so) than other cities. Deny that if you will.

If someone wants to have a car in the city, there is no reason not to. Comments about 'better option's or 'not necessary' are IRRELEVANT if it is what the person wants.

Hi travelGEEK,

No idea if Torridon "works for you" but beware that it is a very, very long drive from there to Edinburgh.

Scenery is nice though.

I´d stick to Loch Ness / Inverness area coming from Skye and drive down south from there.

No, it doesn't.

Maybe he has a plot in the same cemetery. ;-)

Heimdall and Thelin, I am aware of when Colin died. I do not find your comment amusing Heimdall, but rather disrespectful.

I lived near Colin's home from 2001-2006. We occassionally, met in a local pub in Ravenstruther and chatted over a pint. He was a nice guy and good company. I was sad to hear of his death.

So take your foot out of your mouth Heimdall and refrain from comments that involved someone who has passed away.
