Set off from Aberdeen through Alford and up the Lecht Pass .... It got very Alpine Like at the Lecht Car Park..
After a quick break headed through Tomintoul and across towards Granton on Spey, The road is stunning here
I then cut through Nethy Bridge towards Aviemore .... big mistake whole road being resurfaced
A dull but sunny blast down the A9 to Bruar and then on for Fish and Chips at The Moulin Hotel just ouside pitlochry (honestly this pub is in scotland)
Then across from Pitlochry to Join the Spittal of Glenshee road
And back home.............. well it beat Doctors this afternoon

Cracking thanks for all of the ideas people! I will try and plan some of those into my route. Unfortunately I have to try and balance epic driving with GF friendly things so I don't get moaned at too much!

Re: Bit of help with a 4 day trip to Scotland
So the day of departure is fast approaching (Sunday), bit worried about the conditions whats it like up there at the moment? Am I going to have to hope that my car has some snow leopard DNA?

Aberdeenshire roads all seem to be clear - snow at the sides and a bit of melt water - but i expect a lot of this to go by the weekend.
