Eastern holiday - part 5 - Fort William

Hi guys,

Last stop of the first day was in Fort William. At the harbour you can eat delicious Fish & Chips and if you walk up the hill you will have an amazing view.

 Sights:

1. Jacobite Steam Train: Scenic two hour run between Fort William and Mallaig. Adult/child day return: £32/£18 (May to August) - Includes Glen Finnan Viaduct known from Harry Potter.

Ben Nevis Distillery: Guided tour Adult/child £4/£2.

If your looking for a affordable place to sleep, check out: Spean Bridge hotel. Overall, its quite OK.. rooms are affordable, clean and there are possibilities to get breakfast and dinner.. (quality is overall not really high ;) but it will do..) There is a bar where you can enjoy life music and if you go up the hill there is this cute diner at the train stop.

Get some rest at Ayr

Not far away from Glasgow, Ayr is a sweet coastal city.

Jump into a train, for about £12 for a return-ticket, and go to take advantage of the sea air and the beach !!

If you want to try some Fish & Chips, it's the moment !! 

Stop at the Wellington (100-104 Sandgate for the name of the street), they make really good Fish & Chips for £4-5.

Enjoy ;)

Overview of Edinburgh

When I arrived in Scotland, one of the first thing I did was : going to Edinburgh !!

If you are in Glasgow, you can take either the bus or the train: for a return-ticket, it is quite the same price (about 12£) and the same time (about a hour to go there).

You can do a city tour if you want to have a look at the town:

Keep your ticket, cause it is redeemable for 3 months, just in case of !!
