Agreed re the A82 to Oban.The Monkey Man wrote: ↑Fri Feb 09, 2024 7:55 pmYes I can't wait to get up there again. Got a job at Port Glasgow so will mix in a trip along the Loches . Up to Scotch corner, over the A66 then up the A74. A stonking road is the one from Lochgoilhead to Oban. Also up the A9 to see the moored Oil Rigs is cool.
Do the A93 off peak to the oil rigs, assuming you're in no hurry. Beautiful road up through Braemar, Glen livet and sans average speed cameras.
Gets a bit narrow after balmoral, but mostly workable - just a tiny bit of single lane track - You do have to pray to the motoring gods that you won’t get stuck behind a motorhome or elderly person.
That being said, the most fun I've had was bypassing Perth over a moor - can't recall the road number, was no one on it though - much more fun than the A9.
Dumbarton to Kyle of Lochash is another blast in the off-peak season - Too much traffic in the summer.
