Braemar is lovely.
You missed Glen Michael it’s worth it but it’s a bit of a Cavalcade ????
HH ?
Midges are to be avoided at all cost, best way IMHO, 2 weeks before you travel start a one a day course of oderless garlic capsules and take one each day while you are here, works a treat.
For a scenic drive, I find the road North through Glencoe a lovely drive, much better although longer than the more direct A9.
I would suggest a visit to Sky, off the west coast, and perhaps a trip to Dingwall on the east , that is also a beauty of a drive. between the 2. Coincidentally I'm in Dingwall at the moment for a few days RnR, so maybe biased ?. Loads of beautiful places to visit within a short drive, Loch Ness (they will have to time it right to see the monster though), Culloden, scene of a battle between England and Scotland. And for shopping its near Inverness. Plenty other options, but they are my personal favourites.
Or just eat garlic as it’s brilliant for you. I never get bitten. They fucking know better.
Aye you could dae that as well, but if yir camping the tent gets a bit stinky ?️??
don't forget the midges!

When you say you don’t like it anywhere up north?...
I get eaten alive but the little buggers, so use various methods at once - high strength odourless garlic capsules, B vitamin tablets, Smidge repellent and also take anti-histamine tablet beforehand so it doesn't itch if I do get bitten as scratching makes it worse.Well that is the theory behind keeping midges at bay, hence the oderless tablets, one a day for 2 weeks and one each day you are here, the cooking of garlic will reduce its effect meaning you will have to use more to keep the effect consistent. Not to mention you would have to have it with at least one meal per day. However dont let me stop you doing it your way, I was offering advice to someone else, if your method works for you good on you.
yep head there stunningGet yourself to Pitlochry it’s a nice wee place
Then find the road to the Queens View it’s Beautiful and if you keep driving it just gets better.
And anywhere in the Stirling to Perth region.
Just sayin
