Tell me about Kroon/surrounding area. I know nothing about Scotland, but we have a wedding there later in the year. Want to drive up and experience these roads you keep banging on about! :D

Sorry Dan don't know that area its to far south for me.
The only thing i know about Troon is that there is golf played there (not that i'm into golf).

I know troon very well worked there for 2 years and it's on 16mile from where i stay, It's a nice little town with a few good pubs, If your into your golf then there's royal troon golf course probs the best golf course in UK,

Well as long as you stick to the straight lines, you'll be fine Dan. Did you get the "corner/twisty road avoidance" pack upgrade for your sat-nav to stay clear of bends?? :lol:

Mart !!

Scotland is bigger than you think, and the small roads dont help with journey times !!

Big enough Dan :lol:

From Glen's & my area it would take at least 4hrs to get to the border with Englandshire.
Roads are pretty poor till you get south of Glasgow especially the A9 between Inverness & Perth it's only once your passed Perth you can make steady progress.
