Oban, Sutherland House Hotel (b&b really) basic, clean and hearty breakfast. Twice used by Breast Way Round girls and booked again for next year. Got the number if you want it?

I think I'm staying at the Lime Tree in Fort William next week, on a few recommendations- it's more mountain bike friendly than motorbike friendly but any hotel that will tolerate manky sweaty mountain bikers will be delighted to have motorcyclists.

Fair to say though that if you've got the choice of staying in either fort william or oban, you'd have to be mad to stay in fort william, it's completely rubbish. Apologies to anyone from there, but you know it's true, your "town" is rubbish.

Oban then
Surely Oban, quaint Oban; is a veritable hub of scottish hospitality and wholesome haggishness?

I like "haggishness". Oban's nice.
