Been considering this years roadtrip and the idea of blasting round Scotland has come up. Did a bit of online research and Apples Cross looks quite interesting but I was wondering if anyone has any other recommendations on what tarmac to sample?

Cheers in advance! :drive:

A77 is pretty good to drive if you get a good run at it some nice corners. If you get the boat to cairnryan bring me 2 wings and a bonnet over please haha.

"The dava!" Grantown to forres great road for bikes and ep drivers also used to go Inverness to Ullapool up over the dam is aw sum! But both of these roads make sure you take spare under wear as the twisties are twisty! But if any one is up this way let me know and I will join use! We should get another meet in elgin again now my ep is alive

If your heading for apple cross then you will be heading from the south of Fort William up through Glen Coe etc, awsome roads and superb views to boot.

This is all good input folks, starting to look forward to it already :)

A few of us make a point of going on a roadtrip every year. Went to the Ring in 2011 and drove the length of Ireland last year so the pressure is on this year lol. Had fancied the Isle of Man but it's a little small for roadtripping purposes. Still needs done though!

I'll get googling on those roads now, cheers!

Drove from Inverness to the Isle of Skye, then down to Edinburgh. Amazing views and loved every minute

The road from newton Stewart to new galloway through the galloway forest won't be beaten jay. Lovely wide flat tarmac, camber corners, hairpins, right lefts. You name it you get it. And not a car to be seen for miles

The road from Garve to Ullapool is awesome.... but almost a bit too fast for an ep, I prefer doing it in my beemer. Our wee cars are best suited to proper twisty stuff! North of Ullapool upto Kinlochbervie (can't get much further North) gets better for that, but a bit far and remote for a road trip, nice for a holiday though.

I need some suggestions too as I'm planning a group road trip later in the year - I want some good twisty roads to show up some bigger cars!

EDIT: Agreed on the chippy though btw!!!

wallace glanza that is a good idea!

1379.5 KMS of Ted-seeking, Moll-gapping, cake-eating silliness..

Portavogie to Killarney, Killarney to Galway, Galway to Dublin and Dublin back to the Vogue. We were tempted to do a run to Portrush as a starting point but never bothered.
