Scotland coastal route (8 Viewers)

[Bobby dazzler]

Hi we all know of the nc500 has anyone done the entire coastal route. Looks like probably about 1200 to 1500?. Time is not a issue probably gonna take a couple of months bumbling round it

 

[Figaro]

Sounds like a great plan, I hope you can share some photos

Yeah I've started off in Dumfries and Galloway and worked my way past Stranraer and not in a rush so I reckon I will keep going north been fabulous weather this last week

I know the coast round Scotland is more like 5 or 6 thousand miles, I know you wouldn’t exactly be hugging the coastline but I do think you’ve underestimated at 1200/1500

Hoddom castle the start of the journey

Yeah I won't hug the coast line as some of the roads look only suitable for small van conversions I reckon so I probably have underestimated the distance see how I get on not in a rush see how it pans out

If you like books then the Wigtown book festival starts on 27/9 - 6/10, small village with a few book shops but world renowned.

Yeah been there a few times in the past nice little town I think there's also a nature reserve there?. With a bird watching area

Did the SW300 last year. Very quiet roads, but be ready for the potholes.

Much less popular is going up the east coast. We've done various east coast routes over the years.

We finished off the SW300 a couple of months ago. Picked up at Castle Douglas where we had to leave it last year due to a family bereavement.

A couple of years ago I did all of the east coast from Dundee to Inverness.

In too many of the nice (small) places where you might want to stop, parking was a -y nightmare . . . height restrictions everywhere

I thought I had read about a lot of community arrangements around that area, are they maybe pushing motorhome a to them ?

We are doing that same coast next year and have bookmarked lots of options we have read about mostly on FB
