Tour Pace: This tour is well paced with two-night stays in Edinburgh, Thurso and Glasgow. The driving days are of a comfortable length and have frequent stops. Arrival in to Glasgow is not until early evening, but this is compensated by the late start in Portree and time on the Jacobite steam train. Hotels: The modern Marriott hotel in Glasgow and the stylish Georgian Roxburgh in Edinburgh contrast with the Highland hotels, which are much simpler establishments although typical of the region, and often family run. Please Note: In some parts of the Scottish Highlands and Islands north from Edinburgh and Glasgow, the remote nature and limited seasonality means hotels are often more basic, modest and simpler in style than Insight hotels elsewhere in Europe, especially in the larger or capital cities. These properties are typically family-run establishments and have completely individual character - which is part of their attraction. The key attribute of these properties is their easy access to the wonders of the beautiful countryside and more remote towns and villages.
