Escape the everyday and watch the routine fade in the rear view mirror as you take the high road, the low road, or any old road to a different place.
5. Glen Docherty, Wester Ross, A832
You''ll be transported through a magical Highland landscape on this road where Glen Docherty gives way to Beinn Eighe, Kinlochewe and mysterious Loch Maree, where the hotel is a more than worthy stop off. PIC: Creative Commons. Photo: Creative Commons
6. Back road from Lochinver, Highland
A little bit of paradise can be found on the B869, just off the main North Coast 500, where Achmelvick, Clachtoll and Clashnessie beaches can be found. Be transported by the pretty machair, the white sands and the gentle blue waters that swing into view as the road, some of it single track, rides low by the shore. PIC: geograph.org/Stuart Wilding.

8. Stonehaven to Montrose, A92
Pass Dunnottar Castle and the old fishing village of Gourdon, where a layby gives a fine viewpoint over the never ending North Sea and a good spot for a chipper. Continue past Johnshaven and through St Cyrus, where the beach and nature reserve are among the best you’ll get. Photo: Contributed
