Scotland run in the Trophy



  Golf Gti edition 30
Just back from 3 days away going round scotland.Been wanting to do this for ages !

Left Dundee Monday morning and headed over to go up Loch Lomand,over to lochgilphead then up to Oban.
Tuesday went from Oban to Glencoe,Fort William,Glen Nevis then upto Applecross.
Wednesday went from Applecross to bottom of Loch Lomand upto Inverness then back down the A9 to Dundee.

In all had a great time,crap weather mon and wed but tues was sunshine,some really great windy roads for going up and down the gears.Heard good things about the Applecross pass and although great views from the top thought the road was one of the worst driving roads ive been on.Cant get more than 20-30mph as the roads so narrow 'single pass road' and gravelly with nasty drops at the side you definitely dont want to go over and far too steep in places.Thought my car was going to be stone chipped to hell but turned out ok.

Best roads were from lochgilphead upto oban,around glencoe and the A87 onto the A887.

Heres a few pics from the trip '670 miles in total' taken from my iphone so not the best.

You should've done the Spittal of Glenshee!! My favourite Scottish road, by a country mile!

Looks great.

I'm meant to be doing a 1200 mile round trip on the Scottish roads in August.

Me and the Mrs where talking about doing applecross in the escort next year but i think the Trophy would enjoy the roads more.

​Some stunning pictures and great write up
