Beautiful Road Trips in Scotland

The Long Road on the Isle of Jura

September 22, 2015 By Ron 2 Comments

The Isle of Jura is not an island for an impromptu visit since it doesn't have a direct car ferry link with the mainland. Only in the summer there is a passenger ferry, a RIB for 12 persons, operating a service from Tayvallich on the mainland to Craighouse on Jura. So Jura is quite remote and one of the few inhabited islands in Scotland not being serviced by Calmac directly. The only car ferry to Jura is operated by the Argyll and Bute Council and sails between Port Askaig on the Isle of Islay to Feolin on Jura. It's a five minute crossing over the Sound of Islay, the fast flowing channel that … [Read more...] about The Long Road on the Isle of Jura

October 4, 2014 By Ron 33 Comments

The Ultimate Scottish Coastal Route For most people, including me, the west coast of Scotland offers some of the most beautiful scenery in the country. And yet, for some unknown reason, there is not something like an 'Official Coastal Route' which would cover most roads on the Scottish west coast, to let you admire this stunning part of Scotland. It's of course not easy, the west coast isn't straight, it has many inland sea lochs, islands and other obstacles, making the journey a rather lengthy and time consuming yet very pleasant enterprise. If you want to make this journey along the coast … [Read more...] about The Ultimate Scottish Coastal Route – Driving the Entire West Coast of Scotland

Riding the Road to the Isles

April 4, 2010 By Ron Leave a Comment

Alan Richards: I wrote this a few years ago after one of our motor-cycling holidays up to Mallaig..... The thoughts of the long and somewhat arduous journey up had receeded to the back of my mind by now as the midday sun began to warm our faces. We were just over half an hour out from Fort William. Last night had seen us early to bed after a few pints of 'eighty shilling' in the 'Ben Nevis', early doors. We'd been cold and hungry when we'd ridden into town. The winds across Rannoch moor and Glencoe were testing the bike's stability and the rain was incessant. Sue had a tie-dye scarf wrapped … [Read more...] about Riding the Road to the Isles
