JonnyBaddeley said:Brilliant trip this is. I'd recommend doing the old military road towards Balmoral before heading over to Aviemore and then Loch Ness. You can do a great drive around here before arriving at Inverness. Check out Henry Catchpoles Old Military Road video on YouTube.
Absolutely this. Aberdeen to Aviemore via the Lecht ski resort. Did it in late July/early August last summer. Saw less than 10 cars in 100 miles.
