They're all good Personally I reckon you should make sure you go through Glencoe, and ideally round the Loch Awe shore road, neither are amazing roads in their own right but it doesn't get any more in-your-face highland. Mountains just appearing out of nowhere.

Nutty Tart's famous Wibbly Wobblies by Arrochar is helpfully on the same west coast route, and the Duke's Pass by Callendar is a rollercoaster, only hindered by gravel and visibility- too twisty for its own good almost. Those are my highlight personally, you can hit all 4 in a day's ride from Edinburgh too which is nice.

Man! I forgot about Glencoe. Did that last year on 12th March wi all the sonw. The road was clear though, but still seemed weird as everywhere else was white!!!!!

All the way up the A82 to Fort William. hang a left for the A87 to Skye. Great ride if you're going that far.

Nice one in Fife, Kincardine, head for Yetts O Muckahrt, through Glendevon up to Crieff.

The Fife Coastal route up to St.Andrews is good if you have sunshine (It's good anyway) stop at crail for some fresh seafood in the harbour. Mmmm.

There's plenty to choose from.

Cheers

Dunkeld to Blairgowrie - sensational. 11 miles (There's an alpine style zigzagy thingy)

Blairgowrie - Glenshee - Braemar. Jumps, sweeping bends, very tight twisties.

Would have listed the Dukes Pass had it been last year but just now it's in a shocking state.

Hi Tim,

I'm off up Scotland via Northumberland and back through The Lakes on a 4 dayer this looooong (for me at least) weekend - Will let you know what's hot and what's not from my mini epic journey.

Instead of taking the bridge at Ballaculish(can never spell it right) to Fort William, cut a right at GlenCoe Village and head for Kinlochleven. Takes you on a loop of the loch and arrives you gibbering like a wee kid at the north shore of the bridge, so as to continue your journey to FW.

Properly special.

The roads will delight you no matter what part of the country you go to.

Have a good one.

Was talking to a guy last week outside Strathearn Tyres. Told me the Kinlochleven road has been resurfaced and its like a racetrack...hmmmm sounds yummy.

Have a shufty at this thread - linky - it's our own favourite roads.

You'll run out of time before you run out of road. Anything north and west of Glasgow is gorgeous.
