Greetings,
I'm planning a few days hooning through Scotland with the Mrs next month, and would appreciate help/advice on where to go.
We're heading up from Peterborough, stopping at Newcastle, and then going towards Edinburgh, via the A68 through Jedburgh unless anyone has better ideas.
After that we'll probably spend two or three days driving about. I'd like to visit Dundee, some of the Highlands and Dumbarton if there's time, but other than that am open to suggestions. I'd like a mix of scenery, great roads and cool towns/cities, but my knowledge is somewhat limited.
Any help appreciated - Cheers!

Well, the trip was kick ass, ta for all your help. May have a few pics when I get round to uploading them.
We went up the A68 to Edinburgh, which was great, then from there headed over the Forth Bridge and up the A823 to Crieff.
Then we took the A85 to Crianlarich and the A82 up to Ballachulisch, before head back down the A82, past Loch Lomond to Glasgow. Then headed back to Newcastle via the A721 and A72 through Peebles and Galashiels and back onto the A68 again.
Had a great time, decent weather, wonderful roads and thoroughly enjoyed it. And I couldn't have done it without the PH massive. Bless you all.
