Hello,

Heading up from Raleigh to Nazareth for Martin factory tour in late July.

Need suggestions for reasonably priced convenient lodging?

Thanks!

Fab pictures! :thumbsup:

I might try and replicate the same trip this summer... any chance you could share a "summary" of the itinerary?

Thanks

A must any Scottish trip is the A82 from just outside Glasgow to Fort William!

This will take you all the way through Glen Coe!

Just Google images of Glen Coe and you will see why :driving:

That's not a ruin, it's still in use as a private dwelling.
