Kintyre's 'Route 66'

[witzend]

Might be of interest to anyone visiting Scotland

Is Kintyre's 'Route 66' the next road to recovery?

K66 is being promoted as a new scenic route on and around the Kintyre peninsula in Argyll.

Don’t see how anywhere in the UK should be compared to Route 66, to start with there’s no dessert, no straight roads for miles and no Turkey foot prints or dead towns with a whale.

Kintyre is horrible and you should ALL stay away, the West Coast has nowt worth the effort, go to Spain guys, or France, Morocco’s good.

Midge’s carry covid, everyone knows that, Jocks shoot at Motorhome’s to relieve boredom, wild haggis attack at night, you can’t sleep for bloody bag pipes.

It snows in Summer, it’s awful ok.

Oh and I’ve just bought a house there, so bugger off ok.

Full of good Ulster Scotts, been there by paddle steamer many years back.

One of my favourite bits in Scotland, just hope this doesn’t take off like the NC500 and ruin the area

If it turns into another NC500, that last stretch to the lighthouse will be horrendous, it's bad enough now.

Nice one I think it’s a great idea. The midges on the NC500 are getting fat and lazy. spread the wealth I say. Give the wee flying alligators from argyle a shot of the lovely fresh blood.

Aye your right it’s no fun being a prisoner in your own house when the midge is bad.

Great idea for promoting the area and bringing in tourism and business. By next year every layby will have a no overnight parking sign and the locals will be writing to the press complaining about visitor numbers and poor access etc...

Or, maybe I'm just a cynic

 

[Red Dwarf]

The little roads down the east side of the peninsula are magical, though can be a bit tight with a big van...

Not a lot of wild parking spots on the route either.
