Glencoe to Glascow

You could visit Oban while basing yourself in Glencoe. Doesn't really make sense to me to go to Oban after Glencoe and on the way to Glasgow. Loch Lomond is lovely, but the drive is not for the faint hearted. There are some very narrow sections of road, with tricky bends to negotiate and you are very likely to encounter large trucks and coaches coming towards you. Take your time and keep your eyes very much on the road. You could pause in Tarbet and/or Luss for lunch on your way to Glasgow. Alternatively you could turn left at Crianlarich and explore something of the Trossachs, maybe Loch Katrine, before heading south to Glasgow.

I agree with Skyegirl about using the Trossachs route instead of Loch Lomond, especially as you get further into summer because the roadside along the Loch has a lot of trees and bushes and as the foliage develops the views get shorter. However, which way did you intend to get from Stirling to Skye because that might be almost the same route and you would be double tracking a lot of mileage. There is another route to reach Skye via A9 and A86 which is a similar travel time (but is longer distance) but is there anything in else in the outward journey that needs to be covered?

I will be there in early May. So you think the route to the east is more scenic that the one along the west side of the loch? The early part of my trip is north from edinburgh, through pitlochry to inverness, then down to skye. I was thinking of spending the night in Luss to have more time along the way. I appreciate your thoughts (both of you!) sue

Glasgow btw.
