Summary: Nice property, well maintained and clean, good location near center of town ....concerns were probably more with the lack of information about Scottish culture here as I'm an American. First, "second floor apartment" is on 3rd floor where ground floor is floor 0 so extra steps to traipse up (no elevator). Second, parking is a challenge where street parking only allows max two hours (paid) during the day, so you're either dropping off your car at some free lot several blocks away, renewing the parking fee every two hours or ignoring it. Lastly, since Scotland does not use much A/C, would've been nice to have a fan available since the apmt faces the sun in the afternoon and evening and the apmt got quite warm. All in all, nice place as an anchor point for trip to the northern highlands or ferry to other islands. (All ferries were full for us two weeks ahead of stay in the spring so book ahead of time.)
