Not long to go now.
I best get mi finger pulled out and work out a few more places to see and stop at whilst we're up there.

Also have a look at the Highlands thread in the Roads section of Pistonheads - lots of inspiration in there. Personally I'd avoid the NC500, bit of a tourist trap and there's plenty to see elsewhere

I haven't yet worked out how many days we'll be up there yet. We'll be looking at 3/5 nights (including the Saturday night in Ullapool). I've driven the A9 along the North East coast before and I'll not be entertaining that road again.
I'll get working on a rough plan this weekend.

That was what I had in mind in terms of the NC500 - well worth avoiding that bit! I'm not an expert, but have had a few hols up North so have a bit of knowledge.Thank you kindly.

If you miss that bit of the A9 you miss my Clan's heritage centre though!
Oh and I'd recommend this book, invaluable:

Thanks for the recommendation.
I've just ordered it and it will be in my hands at some point tomorrow.

Stayed there a couple of times, spectacular views from the rooms at the front. Some nice little pubs and eateries just oop the road to. Great place if you're a seafood lover like me !!Apologies for the delay, if you could contact the hotel direct http://www.royalhotelullapool.co.uk/ & quote NewMiniScotland. If they don't have any room left then don't worry, try http://www.thearchinn.co.uk/ & just join us at the hotel for all the evenings food & banter (5 mins walk to the Royal).
Would be great if you can join us, keep me posted
Wish I could make it but off to the south of france with T for the racing in Angouleme that weekend.
Have fun y'all !!
Hi hunny what time are we going to meet on the Saturday morning xx
Off the top of my head I'd say 9am for an 09:30 departure from Broxden Services
Unfortunately Lynda (Karen's buddy & the owner of L77NDA) & Ian have had to pull out of the run. I will contact the Royal tomorrow to advise & will see what room is left for anyone who may still fancy the run

Just booked for Friday night at The Holiday Inn Express, 200 Dunkeld Rd, Perth PH1 3AQ.
It's only 3.5 miles back down the road to the meeting point so we won't have a big trek to do, or a very early start to endure, to get there.

After buying the above book for £7 from Amazon inside the back page there is a note saying it's now available as an app.
Oh well, I've bought the app as well for £2.99.
Scotland the Best by HarperCollins Publishers Ltd

That'll be yet another travel book that'll never get used again.

Apps are rubbish. Long live the dead tree book!
And you don't need to hunt for a signal to read the book
