I've got a week in Scotland at the beginning of July and was wondering if there are any interesting offroad tracks that are worth doing in the Freelander? Nothing too difficult - probably more for scenic value and getting off the main roads.

Thanks
Simon

Scotland's a big place , can you narrow it down at all

A week in Scotland hope you enjoy it, im moving to the north east of Scotland at the begining of August and will have five acres to try out the freelander on ( im sure CG has a few acres more )  Black HSE auto,

Just think of the extra income you could make if you were to open a caravan park on that front lawn CG  Black HSE auto,

So anyway - back to the original question

I'm probably going up the west coast, over to Skye, carrying on up the west coast, across the top and down through Fort William and on to Edinburgh. I've done most of the route before over the years but not for a very long time. Wife hasn't been so it will be a bit of a tour to see the sites and find some good restaurants. I'll have just done the Yorkshire Three Peaks and Hadrians Wall run so probably won't be exercising too much, hence more of a tour then get out and up the hills (unfortunately).

Sounds a good trip to have, skye is lovely. there are roadworks around the forth bridge if you are thinking of going over it, ave speed cams etc  Black HSE auto,

Are you returning or having a new start in Scotland?

Im having a new start always wonted to live there and now that i retire at the age of 54 it seems the best time to do it.
