Who was it that came up with a good route for a 3 day Scotland tour

I've tried searching but I recall probably last year or 2013 someone posting a 3 night trip exploring Scotland and some of the best bits.

Does les anyone remember who it was

Ive got a good two day one well 2.5 doing it again in August best I can do is a screenshot of a map will have a look and post her up for you wouldn't be too hard to map the point on google maps I'm sure, also it starts in my area so you may want to miss that out and head straight for the highlands haha

That looks like a blast! I was really wanting to do Europe again this year but unfortunately dont think I'll be able too . A few days over to Scotland would be great though!

For you guys miss out the Mintlaw/Aberdeen section that's just where most of our group are from possibly extend further north nearer Inverness/Nairn possibly use the coast road to Cullen etc lovely scenery and cracking roads, Id budget 6hr days as you will undoubtably get stuck behind tourist coaches

@noddie what was your opinion on the day 2 leg, Ullapool up and across to Thurso. Is is worth doing. I'm just deciding whether to do that or spend a bit more time on the west side, a couple of Islands etc then across to Cairngorms area.

I live in Inverness & Gairloch, Ullapool, Durness, Tongue then home via Lairg is my favourite day out. Beautiful scenery & great lightly trafficked roads with plenty of chances to get the pedal to the metal. Awesome drive & thoroughly recommend this part of Noddie's route.The Strathcarron, Applecross, Ullapool section is also amazing. You would be missing out if you ignored either of these routes of Noddie's in my opinion.
