A few months ago, Mike (auchterless) posted a link to a YouTube video by Steve Marsh and his excursion up the NE250 from Aberdeen. I finally got around to watching it today and it's great! He gives an interesting and fun commentary showing incredible scenic views, nice shots of the road as he's driving and a look at some very scenic fishing villages.
I really enjoyed watching it, and it's caused me to add Dufftown to my route (with a quick stop at the Glenfiddich Distillery) before I make my way to Elgin after seeing Clava Cairns.
I recommend that anyone driving the NE250 check this out - it's really a treat to watch! He has lots of other videos as well that I will be watching in the next weeks. Thank you, Mike for posting this! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVZm-5-QEc8
