Picked up the new L&K a week ago (Wednesday).... and started a tour of Scotland on Thursday, arriving home in the early hours of this morning (538 mile stint in one go)
Total trip 1640 miles!

 

A short video of some of the roads in the far North....

Lovely video, well constructed. Colour of Yeti merges well with scenery. Thanks for sharing......

Scotland is the place to be, we did the west coast in August, up to Smoo caves and cape wrath, thanks for sharing your video, looked great. Yeti makes a great touring car too.

Thanks for posting!  Memories of our own trip in Spring last year.  The odd squeak or two - did you have a dog with you, or was it low-flying gulls?!

Squeaky steering wheel!

I really enjoyed your video! I love the Highlands - the roads are great aren't they?

Can't wait to take my Yeti up there next spring. Yours looks really at home!

Lovely countryside amazingly looking great even with grey rainy weather.  Yeti looks perfect in it.

Yes... the windscreen wipers got a lot of use during the week.

 

It took me a while to figure out / realise that the automatic wipers happened when it was on the intermittent setting. A minor niggle was that the rear wiper swept when it wasn't needed, on a dry window, with a bit of a shudder and squeak, even when it was in the "off" position.

 

When I asked him, the salesman was sure that my Yeti didn't have cornering headlights. I am pleased to say that it does.

 

The basic outline of the tour was:

Day 1. Starting 3pm Gloucestershire to Penrith. (250 miles)

Day 2. Penrith to Islay (including 42 miles on the ferry) arriving in the dark

Day 3. All day on Islay - visited several distilleries (and started to weigh down the car)

Day 4. Islay to Oban, Fort William, Inverness, Tain

Day 5. Started with a visit to Glenmorangie distillery (more weight added), a couple of other distilleries on route to John O'Groats, then the North coast to Thurso and then Durness on the North West

Day 6. Durness... Lochinver, Ullapool, Inverness, Kinloss, Elgin, Aberlour (Speyside)

Day 7. Distilleries on Speyside, Aviemore, Pitlochry, Perth, Stirling.... and the run home via Glasgow, M74, M6, M5 arriving home 1.30am. 538 miles for the final day, and perfectly comfortable and manageable, even for an old guy like me. Kudos to the Yeti

When I asked him, the salesman was sure that my Yeti didn't have cornering headlights. I am pleased to say that it does.

Sorry what does this sad excuse for a "salesman" do for his day job? Eh? You bought a top of the range Yeti and he doesn't even think, let alone KNOW as he should, that your car as well as the model below (Elegance spec) has standard swivelling Xenon headlights AND cornering fog lights?!!

That is a nawful lot of miles in not many days!  Glad you managed to stop at all the right places

Did the Whisky keep you going OR did you keep going for the whisky?

The distillery tours were a good excuse for the trip.

My 31 year old son came along too.... so it was some good father/son bonding time.
