Torquay to Scotland road trip

[JacobsCracker]

Hello PH'ers, long time lurker (so long I've forgotten the password and made a new account) and first time poster.

I'm planning a road trip from Torquay to Scotland for the first week of October with Mrs JacobsCracker and have no idea where we want to go! We have picked out Glenn Coe, Fort William and Loch Lomond as likely destinations. We will be staying for 5 nights and want to see all the best scenery and places possible.

Any recommendations of where to go or stay? And most importantly for PH, what roads "must" I drive? This is a once in a long time trip so I want to drive any of the "must do before you die" roads up there.

Just to clarify, we are travelling as directly as possible to Scotland so all ideas for Scotland only, please!

Thanks for the suggestion. I did forget to add however, we will be staying in cheap old AirBnB'S wherever we go! Do you have any must see towns or roads?

Wouldn't it make more sense to fly from exeter ?

You could be in scotland in 45 mins and gain a extra 2 days in Scotland

Yes it probably would, but who doesn't want to do a proper road trip!

Also, factoring in free private fuel through my work definitely helps.
