A GUIDE TO THE SCOTTISH BORDERS - Four years ago we left Trinidad in the warm Caribbean, and migrated to Scotland to the Border area of Eildon, Walter Scott (of Ivanhoe and Rob Roy fame) lived here. Its a beautiful area, varying from soft rolling hills with hidden valleys, to rough moorland high up and bleak. Its quiet and calm here and we love it. This blog will be my diary of our adventures and our recommendations of places to visit and eat and explore.

Glencoe
Took a trip with family to Glencoe and Fort William. I have to say its lovely with the big mountains and the lochs. Fabulous scenery everywhere. Also lots of tourists even this late in the year and most B&B's full. We stayed in the Kinlochleven Inn (phot taken outside) and enjoyed the stay. Discovered we liked Macallan single malt and it was nice in the evenings afetr a good dinner to sit and mellow with a tot. Went up the Ben Nevis ski gondola and that was magnificent, better than Aviemore much higher. Also went to Arisaig supposedly the "best beach in Scotland" well thats all rubbish, its not nice and not clean and I don't like it.
