Guest Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Hi all, Can anyone suggest a really good country route to take around scotland on saturday, leaving from edinburgh area. Want to stop off, walk around and grab some food and also want good fun country roads and views. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stef123 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 30-60 mins out from Edinburgh doesn't take you very far, round the borders is a good run. Otherwise up to tyndrum and down to Oban is a good run also but you'll need more than an hour lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of a disgrace really Yeah, neither have I which is equally as disgraceful! If/when I do it I'd have to take the Rover as there is no way my knee could cope with 500 miles of driving a manual in one day! The depressing part is that it would take almost a tank and a half of fuel to complete, not including getting to and from Inverness. Worth it though, I bet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't you want to take your time and enjoy the scenery etc? You would need to take a couple of days to really enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would need to take a couple of days to really enjoy it. That's true. I'm not a fan of B&Bs, but if there was a caravan park somewhere en route I could rent one stop half way for a few days, explore and then continue the journey. In fact, I don't have an plans for my summer holidays yet so that could well materialise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joking aside, there are some nice areas, especially if you are visiting from elsewhere. Whereabouts are you staying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
