The PistonHeads Highland Tour 2011
Join us in May to drive the very best Scottish roads
The roads are a mix of fast sweeping bends and tighter, twisty, technically challenging sections designed to put a smile on your face. We've arranged some great local hotels, the fuel stops are marked and of course you'll have the benefit of a tour manager in a lead car, sat-nav files, licensed walkie talkies and detailed route notes contained in info packs.
It's a small and friendly tour with numbers being limited to just 15, and all the hotels we'll be staying in are small, welcoming independents. Who says you need to head overseas for a great driving holiday?
- Day 1 - 190 Miles
The tour begins with lunch on the edge of the Lake District (there will be a convoy from London for those who live in the South of England). After lunch we head on through the Lake District and over the Kirkstone Pass, heading north past Glasgow and up to Loch Lomond, for our first night in a haunted coaching inn (if you like that sort of thing).
- Day 2 - 165 Miles
Leaving Loch Lomond, we continue north past Loch Leven and Fort William to Eilean Donan Castle, and on to the Isle of Skye before our next hotel, near Torridon.
- Day 3 - 170 Miles
Time to head on up the western coast, enjoying the amazing scenery, mountains and twisting tarmac of the highlands, including the beautiful Kylesku bridge
- Day 4 - 220 Miles
We hit the northern coast of Scotland in the morning, almost as far north as you can go on the mainland, to visit the Glenmorangie distillery before heading further south to arrive at the Balmoral estate in time for a sumptuous traditional Scottish dinner for our last night in Scotland.
- Day 5 - 280 Miles
Onwards and downwards, a dash past Glenshee ski area and a visit to the Falkirk wheel before heading across the border on our way to the Yorkshire Dales, where we will be spending the night in a hotel owned by a true petrolhead.
- Day 6 Homeward Bound
Yes it's the last day, but we still have a fun drive in store. We'll take you on a specially prepared route across the Yorkshire Dales with breathtaking views and our usual mix of fun twisty sections and gentle sweeping bends before stopping for Lunch. After lunch it's time to head home.
