Locations added as requested

 

Todays route (well what was intended to be) though I had to take a diversion over to Stonehaven, then down the A90 to Montrose and in to Arbroath as the B974 was closed from about 5 miles north of Fettercairn. Stated a bit overcast but that burned off quickly and it’s been another gorgeous day.



Corrected map below (Shame I can’t delete the original)

Overcast when I left and stayed so till about 11:00 (as I jumped on the M90 South at Kinross). Called in on @Goofs in Dundee for a brew and a chat - was much appreciated and what a cracking fella

 

As requested a few shots from the day…


This isn’t how to keep a secret , it tickled me anyways. On the A92 just south of the bridge over the Tay.


looking south off the A91 a mile or two shy of Milnathort


dropped a clanger in that I took the wrong bridge but it’s lovely and quiet. Was worried there were cameras (bikes are supposed to be 125 or less) but a bridge security fella said no cameras, so no worries - just don’t do it again. In his opinion he’d rather see all bike traffic go this way - far safer for everyone.


No introduction required - an icon of engineering

 

Edinburgh castle

Then these three all taken on the A701 lay-by where the road bends right (about 7 miles short of Moffat) and if you don’t it’s a 500 foot drop. Locally known as the Beef Tubs harking back to cattle rustling in days gone by.
