Having just had a month's trip to SW Scotland we found many of the roads much worse than during our last trip in 2022, lots more pot holes and what's worse is that many roads had been 'surface dressed' without fixing some of the bigger holes first! The worse by far though are roads which have had a tarmac-mix surface put on them, the look nice and 'shiny' but the truth is they are horrendous as whichever 'muppet' was contracted to do them didn't know that when laying, and levelling/tamping, you do the latter running with the road direction, instead many had been done across the road so you get miles and miles of ripples with no way to do a reasonable speed and certainly not the max speed limit unless you want to lose your fillings! I thought for one minute we'd detoured and were on our way to Grimsby on the A180 which is horrendous due to the concrete 'ripple' surface.
We love SW Scotland (this was our 5th trip) but have to say the roads have seriously put us off doing another as they were just so awful to travel on.
