Well I'm just back from doing a 1200 mile tour of Scotland, we hired a massive motorhome and carried out a reccie of most of next year's Highland and Island Tour. We had to miss a couple of bits out due to the size of the van (3.5 tonnes and 7m long) i.e. Quiraing and Applecross and the bit around the Torridon and the Gairloch because of time.
The weather was amazing if a little windy up in Durnes and we managed to get some good photos.
Some of the new bits i.e. the road to Maillaig and the run around the Trottenish Peninsula were great and will be fun to drive in a MINI. Anyhoo here's the photos!
