A comfortable and intimate place to stay close to the Isle of Tiree

If you are coming from outside Tyre, it is a good idea to stay in a guesthouse or hotel for the night before the test. I usually use laterooms.com however there are other options as well:

  • Rockwell Guest House
  • Tiree Lodge Hotel
  • Small B&Bs in Scarinish and Crossapol

This place to stay reduces your stress and helps you reach on time on the exam day.
The locals are also very helpful and welcoming, and can help you settle in.

There is no city traffic on the tire's test routes, but the challenges of narrow roads and changing winds are met. Commonly these areas include:

Frequently visited roads and areas:

  • B8065 (Crossapol se Scarinish road)
  • Coastal Road near Goat Bay
  • Small villages like Balmartin
  • Open and windy roads where strong winds may blow and visibility may be reduced.

The test here is also unique because you get an opportunity to increase environmental awareness.
