Scotland photos

Here are some pictures from last week's trip to the Etape Caledonia in Pitlochry. We had a 4 day trip to get up to Pitlochry. The weather was very changeable but didn't spoil the trip.

After the event on Sunday afternoon we decided to head straight home, as Mondays weather forecast was worse than Sundays leaving at around 2.30 pm. I got home at 10pm. The bike never missed a beat and I always find it stable in the wind.

You'll love it Steve.....M621...A1....A720.....M8......M9.....M90....A9 to Pitlochry

You could return on this route  A9........M9.....M73.....M74.....A74(M).......M6.....M61....M60....M62 and back home in Bradford   

Lots of Stobart wagons to spot en-route   

BTW, Pitlochry is a lovely place to visit check out the the Salmon leap, and have tea at the superb Atholl Palace Hotel

OC, many thanks for the route suggestion, I've deleted the scenic route I had programmed in the sat nav and I've gone for your route instead, it looks much more appealing. 


Rusty and I are heading up to Scotland for five days this coming Friday, he's a bit giddy having never been further north than the Cotswolds. I've reminded him to fetch his passport.
