Lighthouse accommodation in Scotland max 3 to 4 hours from Aberdeen. Thanks.
Asked by Colin Angus on 04 August 2008

Maybe a bit too close to home, but Dougal would suggest the newly converted Buchan Ness Lighthouse at Boddam www.buchannesslighthouseholidays.co.uk

A bit further away The National Trust for Scotland rent the cottages at Covesea Lighthouse as self catering accommodation. www.nts.org.uk  This is a few minutes from Lossiemouth on the Moray Firth and just under 2 hours drive from Aberdeen. The location is great with a superb sandy beach. Plus The Harbour Tearoom in Lossie has been extra-miled recently too. More pics on the gilblog entry "Ten things I'll miss about Moray".

Hi Dougal, I'm hoping you can give me some advice. We're going to a wedding in Glasgow in July and I had been planning to spend a week's holiday in Arran beforehand. However, my husband is prone to severe attacks from any biting insects and we'll have our new baby with us so I'm rather worried about the midges at that time of year. Is there anywhere you can suggest that offers beautiful scenery, not too far from Glasgow where we're unlikely to be eaten alive? Many thanks, Jo

Ask you can see I'm a misplaced Dougal (I live in the the US). I was wondering if there was anywhere I could find out about my family's history.
