After the success of the north coast 500 a new route (and website) have been done by the east coast tourist lot.
I live near Aberdeen so thought it would be a good run to try yesterday rather than the usual blast through the highlands.
We covered it in about 6 hours including 4 stops, two for ice cream (it was 27 degrees) , one for petrol and one to pee!

It’s a really good mix of roads (ignoring everything else you can do), with very little boring stuff.
It would be a good add on to the NC500 loop or if you felt the need to do actual tourist stuff there’s apparently quite a lot to see!

Only took one photo, we were having too much fun to stop for most of it.

Looks like I could start the northeast one from my office almost.
