Seconded, in particular the A9 bit. If you don't know the road stick to the limit, as you'll either come back with a sackful of points, or in an ambulance...

cheers for the advice mate.

Be carefull on the A82 as well if its been raining hard.. Loads of standing water + uneven surface = Aquaplane!! Also watch out for lorries, and buses

around the twisties around Loch Lomond...

Enjoy the drive + scenery and have a pint for me at the Grog and Gruel Pub....

cheers

Dazz

:iagree:

The A82 between Fort William and Inverness is a cracking bit of road...........

The A82 between Crianlarich and Ballachulish is another cracking bit of road - through Rannoch Moor and Glencoe. If you're a outdoor kind of person it usually sets the pulse going in anticipation of a good day in the mountains! Pity you'll by-pass it.

If you take the A828 from Oban (up the coast) take a right at Ballachulish and have a pint/bit of lunch at the Clachaig Inn in Glencoe. Outstandstanding scenery and heather beer to boot.
