Scotland Road Trip - The Snow Roads Scenic Route

After collecting your converted Volkswagen Transporter campervan from Your Camper in Glasgow, make sure you test it out properly on this breathtaking road trip!

The Snow Roads Scenic Route offers beautiful landscapes, historic towns and an endless array of activities to keep you occupied on your journey. Scaling the highest public road in Great Britain and taking you through some of the most outstanding landscapes in the eastern Cairngorms. The road links the communities of Braemar, Ballater and Tomintoul with a range of natural and cultural attractions. 

Slow and Steady is the Best Way

The Snow Roads are best driven at a leisurely pace. A combination of steep hills, blind summits, tight bends and single-track lanes mean these roads should be driven with an even greater level of courtesy than normal. This does however give you even more time to take in the sheer beauty of the landscape and give you plenty of opportunities to take a break and make a brew in your Volkswagen Transporter campervan!

Attractions Along the Way

Along the way you can stop at a number of attractions, from distilleries to waterfalls, there’s something for everyone! Pull over at its three ‘Scenic Route Installations’, outdoor artworks that merge seamlessly with the surrounding landscape and are designed just so to allow you to capture that perfect shot.

Hidden Gems

Further to the points of interest already mentioned, the Snow Roads official website lists a number of hidden gems along this excellent scenic route. Linn of Quoich, or the Earl of Mar’s Punch Bowl, is a natural hole in a rock midstream. The area was a favourite of Queen Victoria.

the best breeding areas for waders in the North East of Scotland is also located along this route, stop at the Tomintoul Bird Hide and see how many Curlew, Oystercatchers and Redshank you can spot!
