yep meet the night before, unless you're local, picture as group at sunrise, make your own way to the sunset point, picture as a group, off back to a hotel for dinner or make your own way home if your local, then home the next day
i looked up some places in Peterhead not that mnay and i looked up some places in Skye - seemed to be expensive as they are probably wanting "christmas in scotland trade" not a bunch of slightly nuts bikers for one night
there appears to be a shortage of travel inn style accomodation, which tends to be a little better on cost rather than a boutique hotel/pub, in both locations but i only had a brief look
i'll be starting around junc 19 m6
