I'd never had the misfortune to venture northwards beyond the central belt and gamble with the inept monopoly that's chargeplacescotland, until the last week getting to and from Skye.A 100% failure rate is something really special. Fort William - zero working chargers; For Augustus - zero, Shiel Bridge - one dead charger; Newtonmore - not working and the call centre muppet even claimed it didn't exist, Kingussie - two hours and three cutouts to get half a charge (and I really hope they don't dare try it on with an overstay charge). The call centre staff varied from the helpful and concerned to the thick-as-mince brigade. An RFID card that takes 4 weeks to arrive by post - how 1970s is that? Thank God for the 13A cable I brought with me, and the kindliness of hotel staff that let us plug in for the night to trickle charge on the quiet. Galling that there's some well-pensioned-up senior civil servant responsible for all this. There are plenty of things to admire in the Scottish way of doing things - but plenty of things that are shameful and disgraceful, this is one of them. The politicians need to keep their mouths shut about green issues until they sort this out.
