Tubby Beaver 209 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 The road up through Glencoe and up towards Loch Ness passing Fort William/Ben Nevis is beautiful. Likewise the road down from Inverness to Perth, skirting the Cairngorms. Never been up to Skye but have loose plans to go there this summer too.....we may pass each other!!

That is a nice Island.Or go up to Ullapool spend a couple of nights there, Then go to Achiltibuie and look over to the summer Isles, visit the Hydoponics center. Keep going north to Scourie, Laxford Bridge and then come down on the A838. one hell of a nice drive [weather permitting] Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah Nova did collapse but it has risen again and the englsh teaching thing has stablised. Bags, I like Liverpool but I wouldn't call myself a fan. They are just the team in England that I look out for.....and when I was young they were THE team in England. I guess gloryhunting has a LITTLE to do with it but Liverpool always had a big Scots contingent so it was a no brainer. My heart however belongs to Dundee United FC Link to post Share on other sites
