glasgow to aviemore

[missmoore]

I'm driving from Glasgow to Aviemore next week and was just checking rac.com and theaa.com for a rough guide to how long it'd take. I've been before but can't for the life of me remember how long... Anyway, RAC say 3 1/2 hours and the AA say 2 1/2. Anyone got any idea which is right?? This seems a ridiculous difference, considering they both suggest the same route!

Which way are you going, from which side of Glasgow?

Probably M80 Stirling and then A9 is easiest. Pretty route though from west side is via Crianlarich / Pitlochry

Either case allow the 2+ hours or so - unless you are behind a caravan................roads are getting busier now as holidaymakers get out and about..

Split the difference and call it around 3 hours.

from the west end - will probably take me five minutes along the expressway to join the M8 in town. Am not looking forward to this drive... I get very bored on long journeys! Might have to make a stop at House of Bruar or something...
