My husband and I are traveling to Scotland next July and I have the hotels booked for the beginning and the end of the trip but I need recommendations for the middle, particularly to use as a base for Isle of Skye/Highlands.
We have 4 nights in Edinburgh. I realize most people will this is too much but 1. It is an award booking and I had a 4th night free. 2. We don't arrive until around 6 pm the first day. And 3. One of these days will be spent at St. Andrews.
We then have 3 nights elsewhere before heading to Glasgow to stay the night I'm a hotel close to the airport.
We really want to see Isle of Skye and I, being a huge Harry Potter fan, reeeeally want to ride the Jacobite steam train that departs from Fort William.
Where would be a good town to stay in to do those 2 things? Not opposed to splitting those nights up either.
TL:DR Going to Scotland and need a base to stay in to visit Isle of Skye and Jacobite steam train. #travel source
