I could say prepare to be awe struck by the beauty of the area, but you just can't prepare for that...
What are you up to up there, if you don't mind me asking..?
Hi JonnyP
First I would like to see that side of Scotland, I understand that there are beautiful views, good walks and a lot of history.
Secondly my children have purchased the holiday for me as a present.........
We are hoping to combine a little camping along with a small dash of hotel hospitality...
the hotel bit sounds good to me dave.

The west coast covers quite a large area, all of it great, some of it truly breath taking. The more north you go the more remote it gets, but the scenery is staggering. There are many sites to see on the west coast plenty of ancient cairns and barrows, standing stones and the like. Not forgetting the numerous ruined castles and haunted graveyards. Several Templar grave's dotted around the area as well. Historic items aside, the UK's larges natural oak forest is on the west coast, a few miles south of Kilmartin again the scenery in that area is to die for.
Cheers, Nag.
Maybe invest in one of these?
We use these in the summer on a couple of boggy lakes where the box midgees (my own name, I'm no entomologist!) are horrendous, the little buggers can't get through.
