What is the longest road in Scotland?
A9 road (Scotland)
The A9 is a major road in Scotland running from the Falkirk council area in central Scotland to Scrabster Harbour, Thurso in the far north, via Stirling, Bridge of Allan, Perth and Inverness. At 273 miles (439 km), it is the longest road in Scotland and the fifth-longest A-road in the United Kingdom.
You can drive around the Isle of Skye in half a day without stopping. But because there’s so much to see, I recommend spending at least 2 full days. Plus you should schedule an additional half day to drive up from Fort William, and another half day to get back.
What side of the road do you Drive in Scotland?
When you go on on a Scotland drive you’ll have to understand you must drive on the left.

We found it surprisingly easy to adapt to the change, perhaps because everything inside the vehicle is ‘reversed’ too.
