    That Scotsburgring road is a peach Al.

    I think I will be visiting it a few more times, so that I can get used to it. It's 1 of those roads that is worth the effort.

    Thought as much so that's still a full day on the bike plus stops .Pity its getting late in the year now as a two dayer might have been worth thinking about.

    Giv there are even better roads closer to you just over the border mate.
    It would only take a day trip and you would be there and back again, or ride up to the borders the night before. Stay at the same hotel as the last nights stay on the Scotland Tour and then have a fantastic ride out before heading back home.

    +1 for this - while it was great to get up to Oban and Glencoe was epic etc. its one hell of treck even over 3 days

    The roads if been told of / been down in the Borders / D & G are great and as Colin says far easier to get to / enjoy
