We stayed in Pitlochry which is half way between Edinburgh and Inverness. We encountered a bit more snow on the drive but thankfully it wasn’t enough to make driving any more dangerous. As we drove up to The Atholl Palace Hotel, the hotel loomed high on a snow-covered hill and reminded us of “The Overlook Hotel” in The Shining.
It seemed more so once we checked in since the lobby is large with lots of seating near fireplaces. All along the walls are photos and memorabilia of the hotel ~ some as far back as it’s opening in the mid 1800s.
I would definitely stay here again if I’m traveling through this area. The staff is very friendly and efficient and, since there’s only WiFi in the lobby areas, it has a great “get to know your fellow traveler” feel to it. In the morning, John overheard a conversation of a 91-year-old discussing WWII. It’s not everyday we still have an opportunity to get “first hand” stories from those days. Oh, and you can’t beat the Whiskey Welcome at the front desk. For more information about the hotel, click here.
Thank you for some other informative web site. Where else may I am getting that kind of info written in such a perfect means?
I’ve a mission that I am just now working on, and I’ve been at the glance out
for such info.

I like your travel blog and I imagine my daughter will be backpacking her way around the world in a few years so I like to keep up with backpacker advice.
