If you could go to one place/area in Scotland and only that one, which one/where would it be.

the individual involved most likely will not be able to repeat the visit.

memorable scenery is the uppermost criterion. And thank you for the input as I help someone else decide

OMG I'd have no way to offer one place. Scotland has some of the most scenic view points in the world. Sea lochs, inland lochs, mountains, fishing villages, neolithic sites, romantic ruins, amazing castles in stunning spots. Plus wonderful country hotels with gobsmacking views. What time of year would this be? What sort of budget? Self drive or depending on transit?

Portree, colourful, by the water, happy memories.

The time of year would be early September. Self-drive absolutely

What sort of scenery? Coast? Mountains? Lochs? Villages?

My favourite bit is probably Argyll, which is less touristed than some parts of the country, but offers sea, lochs, mountain, islands, whisky, a
and is very driveable.

September is a great month to visit. OK -- here are some hotels on or near the west coast that have breath taking views. A few are quite remote but all are accessible by car:

The Kingshouse hotel in Glencoe. https://www.kingshousehotel.co.uk

The Pier House in Port Appin. https://pierhousehotel.co.uk/?gad_so...xoCrK8QAvD_BwE

The Kylesku Hotel. https://www.kyleskuhotel.co.uk/?utm_...gn=hch-kylesku

The Torridon. https://www.thetorridon.com

Glenfinnan House. https://glenfinnanhouse.com


There are tons more by these will get you started. There are also wonderful views in Ayrshire/the/southwest, the Borders, the northeast coast, far north - just all over

Janis, thank you SO VERY MUCH for these great recommendations❤️❤️❤️

The drive from Callander to Isle of Skye was my all-time favorite drive. Stayed in Portree. Agree with KayeF about Portree.

Scenery along the way ...

Difficult question but my choice would be the Isle of Skye.
Wouldn't go near the place at peak times, but September should be much quieter.
I have yet to see a place with so much beauty and jaw dropping scenery in every direction wherever you go on the Isle.
We stay in self catering cottages but we had a lovely meal at Kinloch Lodge and I'd very happily stay there.

I'd also like to stay at the 3 Chimneys.

Morgana, thank you for your comments

I agree with the Isle of Skye. I would also suggest Glencoe. They were our two favorite areas of Scotland.

On the Isle of Skye, we stayed in Portree at a historic house. Don’t remember the name right now. I am not home. Will try to locate the name.

In Glencoe we stayed at the Glencoe Inn. Highly recommend. Very convenient location and excellent restaurant.

PS just found the name. It’s the Viewfield House Hotel in Portree.

KarenWoo, was it Viewfield House?

Yes! Thanks!

I agree with the Glencoe area.

Thanks to those who replied. We have made our decision Best wishes

And the winner is......?

I’ve come too late to this but a fun question! Torridon, Skye , Assynt or the Isle of Harris would get my vote(s) - despite visiting these places regularly, I still find it almost impossible to choose between them!
