Thanmuwa, as have others, has made good points. Scottish roads in the highlands do not allow for high speed travel.It might say 50 miles on the sign post or map, but do not make the mistake of thinking you will do that in about an hour! Narrow twisty roads,traffic, fellow visitors, dawdling, looking at the view, people on the wrong side of the road(OH YES!),lorries and caravans that are impossible to overtake, sheep and cattle in the road,cyclists and the list goes on! Allow plenty of time anyway as you may need to stop often to admire the view.

A plea from a local! When driving in the highlands, PLEASE look in your mirrors often and if you see a stream of traffic behind you (5 cars or more) PULL OVER AT THE FIRST SAFE PLACE AND LET THEM PASS.
