Scottish Road Trip Planning - Looking for pointers
Discussion
I'm planning a road trip around Scotland for 2-3 weeks in mid May.
I'm imagining a broadly clockwise circuit taking in the west highlands, Skye, Harris, Cairngorms, and back south towards Edinburgh.
My primary focus will be hitting up mountain biking spots.
We'll be travelling in old land rovers, and therefore I'm looking for interesting (e.g. scenic mountain roads). Narrow, steep, twisty all the better.
Obviously land rovers do open the possibility of following very poor roads, however, I understand the 'green lanes' aren't really a thing in Scotland.
I'm in the early stages of plotting out a route, so therefore any tips gratefully received.
Likewise, any routes to be avoided would also be gratefully received.
