Driving Holiday in Scotland
Discussion
Hello everyone!
I have a week off of work at the end of August and I'd like to spend it exploring some of Scotland and seeing some of your breathtaking scenery.
I'd like to explore Loch Ness (childhood obsession with the monster which part of me believes that I'll spot and maybe have an intimate moment of eye contact with) and I think I'd like to see the Isle of Skye.
Where else would you all suggest? My Dad's family is from Currie and I'll try to arrange it that I take his uncle out for a meal at some stage but apart from that it will be just myself and the car. I'm a fan of B&B's rather than hotels for this type of trip, are there any that you'd recommend? I'd also like to find some good pubs, particularly ones with live music.
So, over to you Scottish Pistonheaders, where's best north of the border?

OK great, I'll look to incorporate that into my route, I don't intend upon using the motorways at all really, it will be about 12 hours up to Scotland in the first place, once I've got there I won't get on another unless I have to til I come back down.
Are there any roads that aren't to be driven down? Having once in my youth got a 206 stuck in the mud down a rural track and had to get a farmer and his tractor to tow me out it's always been on the back of my mind!

Thanks for all the replies guys, you've given me some great bits to work with, I'm looking forward to it, think I might spend the last weekend at the Edinburgh Fringe, a mate is going to fly up and after 5 days driving I'm sure I'll enjoy a few beers. Really can't wait!
Yeah, I know, old Mrs Sturgeon is really quite fierce! A bit of machine gun fire can only make the trip a bit more exciting.
