A little timid at first to get the feel of the car on a damp road...

Cool bridge over the Spey at 8 minutes 29 seconds

The Glenlivet

I'm not a Whisky drinker, however this was worth a visit & tour; no pictures inside - but imagine huge vats of hops, liquer & ultimately whiskey distilling in six 20' tall stills - impressive. Impressive smell entering the distillery too - like Christmas cake!

The free tour included free tasters too...

Time for the obligatory car shoot, some lunch, and the weather to go from merky to full on raining; roof up for the first time...

Military Road South

One of my favourite runs, I ended up with more clear road, hints of snow capped hills and as the road progresses it winds in three dimensions - not particularly fast & the camera doesn't pick up on the spray from the wheels, but great fun to drive.

I took the roof off soon after this video & with hat on made our way south to Dunfermline. The last part via motorway and wettest part of the trip - getting out of the car I was buzzing - the whole process and level of concentration & focus required in the very wet was exhilarating!
