Beautiful Road Trips in Scotland

A Tour of Jacobite Scotland

September 28, 2021 By Ron Leave a Comment

Culloden Battlefield

A chance to travel Scotland in the footsteps of the Jacobites The Jacobite wars, or Jacobite rising, were a lot more than kilted Highlanders rushing through the heather to fight the Redcoats. It was an attempt by Charles Edward Stuart to regain the British throne for his father, James Francis Edward Stuart. It was a battle for the heart and soul of a nation. There was religious conflict, political intrigue, commercial ambition and old scores settled. If you want to visit the most important sites of the Jacobite rising why not do this tour, and where better to start than in Scotland’s … [Read more...] about A Tour of Jacobite Scotland

Torridon to Lower Diabaig Drive

June 15, 2019 By Ron 3 Comments

There are a lot of single track roads in Scotland ending in a village, at a beach or lighthouse which offer no other option than to return the way you came. These roads are often overlooked by visitors as they are basically very narrow roads going almost nowhere. And some of these roads ending in the "middle of nowhere" can go on for miles and miles until you sometimes give up and return. Don't! Good examples are the single track roads into Glen Etive, Rannoch Station, Glen Affric and a few roads on the Ardnamurchan peninsula. These are typically the roads I like to follow, I want to … [Read more...] about Torridon to Lower Diabaig Drive

Aberdeen to Banff Coastal Driving Tour

June 15, 2019 By Ron 2 Comments

Slains Castle Coastal Route Aberdeenshire

The north eastern coastal area of Aberdeenshire is without a doubt one of Scotland's finest and is perfect for a coastal Driving Tour. We'll show you the highlights and have some interesting tips to share! This part of Scotland is somewhat more cultivated than the wilder west coast, perhaps a bit more charming, more inhabited and certainly less remote. You are never more than a 1.5 hour drive away from either Aberdeen or Inverness wherever you are at the north east coast. That doesn't make it a very busy area though as tourists easily spread out over the many pretty coastal villages and the … [Read more...] about Aberdeen to Banff Coastal Driving Tour

Highlands 140 – A Great Highlands Driving Route

October 15, 2017 By Ron 6 Comments

I've driven most roads in Scotland, especially the scenic ones, and enjoyed almost every mile of all of them. I don't think there is such a thing as a boring road in Scotland, especially when you're outside urban areas. And no matter how beautiful some of these roads are, there are always a few that are just a tad more stunning, roads that stick in your mind as being "very special". One of them is the Road to the Isles and the other one is the drive through Glen Shiel. Both offer an unforgettable driving experience amidst some of the most beautiful scenery Scotland has to offer. Now what … [Read more...] about Highlands 140 – A Great Highlands Driving Route

North Coast 500 Driving Tour

October 10, 2017 By Ron 1 Comment

The title "Mother of all driving Routes" in the world probably goes to Route 66 in the United States. Almost everyone knows the name, the scenery and the accompanying song "Get your kicks on Route 66" which was sung by many, including the Stones. Folk from all over the world make the pilgrimage to the US to drive the 2,500 miles from Chicago to Santa Monica in California. The US 66, as the Highway is called, was of importance for those who migrated west and the road supported many communities and businesses it passed and it still does so today. A couple of years ago the North Highland … [Read more...] about North Coast 500 Driving Tour

The Glen Etive Road

October 8, 2017 By Greg Murray 1 Comment

This, at first, may appear a bit strange, doing a review of a road. However, the Glen Etive Road is no ordinary road. If you could capture all of the magnificent points of Scottish scenery and condense them into a stretch of road that is only 12 miles long you would have the Glen Etive Road. As you drive close to the road itself you are surrounded by mountains which have the effect of both putting you in your place as far as nature goes, but also welcoming you home, you feel safe and secure as if watched over by these mammoths that have been here for since the ice age. The road isn't … [Read more...] about The Glen Etive Road
