I've just watched "Landward" which is a kind of Scottish "Countryfile" rural affairs programme.
They'd been featuring a new tourist route called the South West 300. This is a route in the south of Scotland & does exactly what it says on the tin.
There was an element of comedy about the show as the presenters were attempting to do the route using an electric car. The panic in the presenters voices as they search for the charging point & then attempt to use the aforementioned point was quite comical, oh the future of transport looks fraught with stressful situations.
Anyway, the main point of this post is to add the link for those who might be interested in trying this route.
There are a few advantages over the more established NC500 in that getting to a starting point will be closer for the majority of the population.
The roads network uses a lot less single track roads & fuel stations are a lot more plentiful that the NC500.
