City advice
Getting around
A car is essential for visiting this area.
There are such distances to cover and a limited bus service so own transport advisable.
Book before you go
Booking restaurants
Booking your chosen restaurant for your evening meal is advisable, as in the busy summer months places fill up very quickly. Some restaurants are small so limited capacity!
What to pack
Midge repellents
Midges can be a nuisance in the summer months, a good repellent advisable! Always have a waterproof jacket with you as you never know when it might rain!
