My old Rover 75 Tourer now on 333000 miles.... she was on the road 9 hours solid coming back and i went via Glencoe north and the engine was running 11 hours lovely!! when i was heading to Dornoch. purs like a kitten... the Rover covered 1500 miles in six days with me popping up to John o'groats and Thurso and Durness and Cape wrath.

We love Scotland, but have not been up there for a few years. We always head for central Scotland. Our first stop was at Canonbie, 20 miles from Carlisle. Callander was the next stop. We used to call into an old Winery and get a few bottles of Silver Birch wine. Yes, Silver Birch wine. The Queen Mother used to drink it, and she did not do to bad on it. Oban, then up to Fort William. Then up to Contin to see the Salmon jump. Visit to Glenco on the way back. Never bothered with the eastern side as not so pictorial. We came back from Fort William in one stop once when it was pouring with rain for three days up there. Was lovely and sunny in Brum when we got home, but we still enjoyed the trip over a fortnight. Will have to make another trip up there when we have nothing to do.

The two things that really boil my blood, someone who keeps on putting their hands on the bodywork and, someone who finds it extremely difficult to shut a door by anything but its handle.

Sheigrah beech off the B801 the only road on the cape wrath sector ( southside) what views on that... and pop into Britains most remote pub Cask Inn.. just two houses in the village in the mountains top draw off the Tongue to Lairg A836 or is it the A838 !!! those Tongue mountains are spectacular... i ordered at the cask inn ( Orkney isles ale) LOVELY!!
