winterbadgera map of all the concert venues for the 2009 Blas Festival
(hopefully that works; if you see something weird at first, try clicking once on one of the list items)
Some locations are exact; others are as close as I could get them. Let me know if you see errors.
information on the festival here
Which is all by way of me trying to figure out where I want to find a place to stay while I'm there. And how many different venues I can get to.
One thought is that I've been to Skye and Ft William, and as much as I love the west coast, maybe I should concentrate elsewhere. A *lot* of the concerts are in Inverness and around the Black Isle; maybe I should focus there. Find a cottage north of the city, maybe take a day trip to Orkney and catch the Thurso or Wick concert at the end of that day, spend most of the time around Ross, Cromarty, and Sutherland.
Thoughts? Comments?

Date: 2009-07-17 11:04 am (UTC)It's been four years since I did the Blas the first time, and it has a special kind of significance for me (plus it's a chance to rent a small place and get a feel for living there on my own for a week instead of staying at hotels and B&Bs).
Maybe when I come back in the winter? I do want to spend at least a couple of days in Kirkwall to get a feel for the Orkneys in winter, but I should be able to spend a couple of days in Edinburgh to see friends too. :-)
