Ive always wanted to drive round Scotland. Absolutely beautiful place. If you guys were seriously considering a group run I would come over from Ireland on the Ferry to Stranraer and meet up with you.

Absolutely brilliant videos mate, the jag sounds amazing!

Even the younger market don't like Craig David :lol:

Cool videos and brings back fond memories of my time driving around up there. Good choice coming down the A836 from Tongue. Whilst driving that part, did you see the Boat House with red doors on the Loch? I just looked at that, with the snow-capped hills in the background and thought 'postcard'. Great road too, just beware of the Stags in the rutting season - only one thing on their mind and getting out the way is not one of them!
