I promise this will be my last whining question about not driving in Scotland! I decided on 3 days in Glasgow, and 3 days between Oban, Ft William and Mallaig (because I really wanted to take the West Highland Train route) and the final leg is 4 days in Edinburgh with one of the days a Rabbies tour to Stirling and Loch Loman.
I have a very small window period to use a free night from my Hilton Honors/Amex card and the only hotel in that area for the freebie is the Isle of Eriska Hotel and spa which looks to be about 12 miles/35 minutes from Oban train station. Looks gorgeous, beautiful setting on a small island and about a $700/night value. Is it realistic to think I can get a taxi to and from the hotel from Oban? Option is to ditch the cool hotel and stay within a close distance to town or ditch the West Highland train and drive it although left handed shifting and opposite road driving is not easy for me.
Thanks again!!!
