The best I've managed for Argyll & Bute is Tulla Cottage near bridge of Orchy to Southend on Kintyre, which google says is 120 miles. Southend to Cardross is a bit of a doubleback but it stretches it out to 128 miles.

Outer Hebrides;

Eoropaidh, Isle of Lewis to Vartasay is a mere 170 miles but Google maps reckons it will take 7 hours!! I think it might take a bit longer than that....

Especially with CalMac running things.

For A&B Mull of Kintyre lighthouse to the bottom of Bute is 150 miles on Google maps if you set it to avoid ferries, although you still have to get the ferry to Bute, so not sure if that counts.

Barrow in Furness to The Flatt in Cumbria is 100 miles

If including Highland, Scotland, Forte William to Thurso is 171 miles

Drimnin to John O'Groats gives 231m (!)

South End, Walney to Castle Douglas - gives 109m

Thurso and John o groats are in Caithness County
Fort William is in Invernessshire
and Drimnin is maybe Argyll and Bute.
Highland council operate over alot of counties

On time, but ignoring traffic delays ,North Yorkshire can seem unfeasibly large. I live in Thirsk, and on Friday will be meeting a pal at Barbon, over the border in Cumbria . I go via Wensleydale and Dent - the pretty way - and the 60 odd miles takes as long as I'd need to drive to Grantham .

At the other extreme , my favourite route to my Silverstone B and B , about 20 miles west of the circuit involves Northants, Bucks , Warwickshire and Oxfordshire.

For Yorkshire - Easington on the north sea coast just above spurn head to garsdale head (between Hawes & Sedbergh ) 142 miles -

Doubtless - but Easington isn't in Yorkshire but in County Durham ....
