Although I added it myself, I think the name of The Benloyal Hotel (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/74587/) needs correcting. In fact I copied and pasted it from the hotel's own website home page, but everywhere else (even in the body text on the website) it is spelt Ben Loyal (two words), which is the normal spelling of the mountain from which the hotel takes its name. Would you please correct?
Another self-correction, I'm afraid: I got the map point wrong on The Torridon Inn (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubmapcorrect/74627/).:o In fairness to myself, their website (http://www.thetorridon.com/inn/location.asp) is rather misleading on this point, failing to make the distinction between the hotel (which is where I put the map point) and the inn (which is the next turning off the A896). Having cycled this way last week, it now appears that the hotel is here (http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=IV22+2EY++&hl=en&ll=57.529292,-5.524728&spn=0.006601,0.013797&sll=53.800651,-4.064941&sspn=14.902362,28.256836&vpsrc=0&t=m&z=16&layer=c&cbll=57.529337,-5.524648&panoid=7GLefFhz8NyWFHW6KCr7jw&cbp=12,258.11,,0,8.49) and the inn is here (http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=IV22+2EY++&hl=en&ll=57.528278,-5.525694&spn=0.006601,0.013797&sll=53.800651,-4.064941&sspn=14.902362,28.256836&vpsrc=0&t=m&z=16&layer=c&cbll=57.528176,-5.525784&panoid=8INRYtBfhcY4id5MAQZh6w&cbp=12,254.03,,0,-6.77), a little further along the road. I have added photos and corrected the map point, and the only reason I mention all of the above is because of course the latter will require your approval, and I didn't want you spending too long puzzling over why I've corrected my own correction.
The Loch Inn (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/53596/) is now called The Shieling. Please amend.
Please add Low Road to the address of Myrtle Bank Hotel (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/53597/).
We have a listing for Nor West Bar in Kyle of Lochalsh, which I think should probably be correctly listed as Kyle Hotel, or possibly Kyle Hotel (Norwest Bar) - please note correct spelling as per pub sign in my photo - or maybe even Norwest Bar (Kyle Hotel). I'm not sure about the policy on hotels with named bars. (This is probably not the place for this discussion, so you may want to transfer it to another forum. What I'm trying to point out is a bit of an inconsistency which seems to apply to these tourist hotels with pub-type bars. For example, in the Lake District we have Scafell Hotel (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/54850/) with its Riverside Bar, but Lakers Bar (Castle Inn Hotel) (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/71072/) and Ratchers Bar (Glenridding Hotel) (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/71825/). This latter system of naming seems to be most common and is perhaps preferable, because it makes it clear to the user which part of the hotel is the "pub". But maybe some would prefer it like this: The Glen Rothay Hotel and Badger Bar (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/60992/), even though that might be a little misleading (because if you went into the main hotel reception at the Glen Rothay Hotel expecting a drink, I'm pretty sure you'd be redirected to the Badger Bar). If you're not bothered about this inconsistency, I don't want to make a big thing of it, but I'd be interested in your views.)
Less complicatedly, White Heather Hotel (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/50375/) is a guest house with no bar, public or otherwise. Please delete.
Thanks
