Scotland, here I come!!

A93 from Perth to Braemar = brilliant & testing roads, with amazing views.
You can wild camp next to the river along the stretch after the ski centre, just before Braemar.

Into Braemar, head for the Linn of Dee. More great, but narrower, roads with very little traffic. More opportunities to wild camp in the midst fantastic scenery (was up there this weekend )

Head for Tomintoul via the Lecht ski centre - take the B976 off of the A93 after Braemar. Even more bendy roads with great scenery.

Head for Aviemore via B970 & Nethybridge - more bends. Take the old A9 now numbered the B9152 to Kingussie & Newtonmore - bends . The A86 then takes you to Spean Bridge, onto the A82. Choice here of west for Fort William or east for Fort Augustus - both busy with tourists but still great views of the Great Glen. As you roll up the A86 you come to Laggan. Turn off the main road and head for Melgarve on the old military road (General Wades road). It is a dead end (unless you are willing to tackle some really technical off roading as you get near Fort Augustus on the military road) but you can wild camp along this stretch. Again, fantastic views and empty roads.

From either Fort William or Fort Augustus just head north and the countryside just opens up in front of you the further you head north (the A87 gets my vote for bestest combination of open, sweeping bends with tight, challenging curves popping up along the whole of the run to Kyle of Lochalsh).

If you want some company for a day whilst travelling in this neck of the woods, let us know and I'm sure several of the Highland dwellers would be only too happy to join you (weekends are easiest for most, but you never know, I've still got some holidays left )

Enjoy your ride and stay safe.
