Post cruise stay Scotland

[gbphipps]

We are planning a week post cruise in Scotland and want to use a timeshare in one location.  Can anyone suggest a city or town centrally located for touring the rest of the country?

I would high recommend Pitlochry. It is a traditional Scottish tourist town. There's a good range of accommodation, restaurants, shops and pubs. It has  good train / bus  links to Inverness (Loch Ness, the Cairngorms), Glasgow and Edinburgh and it is itself  at the heart of a very scenic area. You could (with a car) access Loch Lomond, The Trossachs and some beautiful villages and drives.  Perthshire, the area where Pitlochry is located, is  Scotland in miniature and  IMO sums up what Scotland is all about

Agree with Tartanexile.  Having visited Scotland for many years if anyone who has never been asks me where to go for a first visit I always say Pitlcohry area Loch Tay etc.

 

If you don't mind driving (which is easy as roads are generally quiet) you can reach Ben Nevis on west coast, St Andrews on East, Cairngorm mountains to the north, Loch Lomond to south, Edinburgh can be reached by train and there are plenty of distilleries to visit!
