    A POPULAR Scottish route has been named the best mood-boosting road trip in the whole of the UK.

    The NC500 in northern Scotland bested routes across the British Isles, including Land of the Lakes in the Lake District and The Dragon’s Spine in Wales.

    Introducing its ranking, well-known motoring firm Cinch pointed out that 97% of adventurers claim a planned getaway boosts their energy and spirits.

    Aye. Nothing like a wee drive roond the Hielans to cheer you up! Grrr

    BBC Alba's Eòrpa has been in Skye and around looking at the rise and rise of the 'campervanerati'.

    Confirms that for many under 40s having a campervan is the key to being 'outdoors'. In village here some residents have one including a very outdoory neighbour that uses hers as a base over in Glencoe (ski centre there provides parking for some that would have been hut and bothy users decades ago. She does do both using van as a base.)
    Of course people still camp and that's governed by the Outdoor Access Code. Campervans are not camping but really 'wild parking'. Like all vehicles they need more resources - well covered in this 30 mins programme.
