Not had much experience with Scottish roads, but used to do a Kames track day yearly, the roads surrounding Kames and Castle Douglas were awesome! Very Happy

tbh it was great when we went in august, a few rain showers but I had my sunroof and all windows open most of the day everyday. Alex will be awesome...deffo recommend it where we went was simply stunning.

The roads up there as so much better as is the driving ethics with other motorists, also the scenery is something else.

Sorted out some vids

This is the road the lodge is on. A nice run but you have to be careful of your speed because its mostly strait.



This was by far the best road we found. Speeded up, it looks so slow on camera lol. Even now at over 200mph it looks slow.



This l just did for a laugh.



For those of you who aint seen the original vid. If you watch this 1st you can sort of make out what the smurf is saying Very Happy
