Central Scotland to the Coast Drives

[andy_s]

Drive to the coast from Central Scotland?

Here's one I made earlier...

Stirling > Perth (A9 Dual C)

Perth > Pitlochry > Newtonmore > Aviemore (A9 - mixed dual and single)
Come off A9 and go through Aviemore, stop for coffee?

Out of Aviemore heading North, turn left for Carebridge (B9513), at Carebridge (toilets in car park after all that coffee)as you leave the town take a right (A938) then a left about 2 miles further on - the B9007. This is a long, windy moor road across open land with good and frequent bends and varied visibility with a generally good surface. Can be narrow in places - as ever, drive according to conditions.
Continue across the crossroads at Firness and continue towards Forres, nice twisty road in woodland, sharp hairpins near bridges over burns, short straights are plentiful, good corners.
At the end of the '007' take a left on the A940 towards Forres.
At Forres slow, breathe and take the road to Findhorn. Good pub food right by a small harbour, great sandy beaches, nice place.

In summary a good mixed bag of roads and conditions with light traffic, brilliant views and great destination.


Anymore for anymore?
