Good drives in Scotland

Just purchased an Abarth esseesse punto evo after 2 years in the sporting evo, wanting to get it out and go a few drives to places. I stay in the Glasgow area, can anyone suggest any nice locations to visit?

Applecross is definafely a good shout if your willing to travel. A few of us did that back in May

Agree with Applecross recommendation and would also add the A82 once past Loch Lomond as it's also pretty good. Some of the roads in the borders are also fairly quiet and fun to drive. I took the A7 down to Carlisle last week and it was great once I'd gotten past the road works.

Closer to Glasgow I haven't a clue though

Anywhere up the west coast really, and the further north the better

Cheers guys, basically will need a decent end route whether it a nice wee village or something as the girlfriend would be with me as well

Applecross definitely then. It's quite a trek but worth it and the pub in Applecross makes really fine soup. You also pass Eilean Donan Castle on the way there. Some pics of our wee run there earlier this year can be found in the below thread

Plus there's a video of the actual run over the Applecross pass in here
