Cullodon (National Trust) is a place that has always put the hairs up on the back of my neck. Bleak, maybe, but it's an extremely important part of Scottish history, and the atmosphere is like nowhere else, it makes me weep. I think it's an essential stop for anyone. Loch Ness has a bit too much tourist tat for my liking, but if you are in English Heritage or Historic Scotland, it's worth stopping at Castle Urquhart, but don't stop if you're not members as it's pricey. Do stop at Spean Bridge at the Commando Memorial - it's a superb monument, fabulous panoramic views, free big car park, and again a very special place: not bleak, just a very powerful sense of place. Fort William has the supermarket and outdoor shops, given it serves the nearby ski area near Ben Nevis. With a caravan in tow, you can't go up Glen Nevis - such a pity you've limited yourself to Club sites, as there's a site in the glen (but midges are horrendous...) And for seafood (mussels, oysters, lobsters), stop at the Holly Tree Hotel at Kentallen; or just stop here to enjoy the reflections in Loch Linnhe and Thomas Telford's beautifully crafted curved stone pier. The one thing to remember is - fill up with fuel when you see a fuel station: there aren't many of them, and it's expensive. Oban's great fun, though I like it best seen from the ferry to Mull.

You're right - Cawdor's a gem. We get in for nothing, as we're Friends of the Historic Houses Association. Places like Castle Howard, Blenheim, Longleat are members, they're still lived in and they're £15+ pp to visit, so we get our membership back in one weekend away in the Scottish Borders. Thinking about the original post, other HHA properties (i.e. houses & gardens) on their trip wd be Ardchattan Priory, Duart Castle (day trip to Mull), plus Inveraray (some of Downton was filmed there), Scone Palace, and Blair on the way there and back. (Sorry, I think I've gone off the original question...)
