Cairn o' Mount is good...but there are better locally. A93 for example.
Best road I have ever driven is on the way to the west coast of Scotland. It's beside Dalwhinnie and is called the A86 or A87. Basically race track smooth and deserted, wide but with no center line marking.

Hmmm- the A93 is OK but I find it a little "safe" when it's empty - but it's biggest problem is it's just too busy and full of johhny foreigner deciding which side of the road to drive on today
or bellend bikers trying to kill themselves.Take the piss on the Cairn and you are in big trouble
Once took a merc over it - was like driving a sofa on casters - most frightening experience of my life - too much speed into the first bend out of the car park and we were almost off the mountain - thank fcuk the verge is quite high at the point I brushed it
.Pateley bridge to grassington in yorkshire.............
I have taken a picture in the exact same spot! But I can't find the fcuker!

Best bit for me is when you get to the windy bit in the forest towards Strachan. Lots of little yumps and jumps that keep you on the edge of your seat.
Done it in a big A6 Avant a couple of times, like threading a needle.
A93 safe...that's the last thing I'd call it. It's so open things can get silly. After the ski center it gets nice and twisty, especially another 5 or so miles down the road.
