The Story Behind Drive the Adventure Scotland – Built by Passion, Driven by Experience

Scotland has some of the greatest driving roads in the world. We believe everyone should have the opportunity to experience them properly.

Hello, I'm Kris, the founder of Drive the Adventure Scotland, and I'm a lifelong motoring enthusiast with a passion for great roads, incredible scenery and bringing people together through a shared love of driving.

For over 12 years, I've been organising, planning and leading car runs and motoring events across Scotland. During that time, I've had the pleasure of taking hundreds of cars and their owners on some fantastic adventures, discovering spectacular routes, hidden gems and places that make Scotland such a special destination for anyone who loves being behind the wheel.

My experience comes from years of putting together driving experiences, finding the best roads, planning routes, discovering great places to stop and, most importantly, understanding what makes a road trip memorable.

Through my involvement in the CannonBawz Run, a motoring adventure that has raised more than £70,000 for charity, I've seen first-hand just how much enjoyment, friendship and adventure can come from getting people together and exploring the open road.

But I've always felt there was something more we could offer.

Why I created Drive the Adventure Scotland

Scotland is blessed with some truly breathtaking driving roads. From sweeping Highland passes and challenging mountain roads to spectacular coastal routes, dramatic landscapes and picturesque villages, there is an adventure waiting around almost every corner.

But finding the best bits, knowing where to stop, discovering the hidden viewpoints and putting together a really worthwhile route can take hours of research and planning.

That's where Drive the Adventure Scotland comes in.

I wanted to create something different from the usual road-trip maps and basic route planners.

I wanted to create a digital driving companion, built around real experience, that helps you get the absolute best out of every journey.

Not just somewhere to go, but a reason to enjoy the drive getting there.

Every guide is designed to give you more than a route. You'll find carefully planned journeys, brilliant driving roads, stunning photo opportunities, interesting places to visit, recommended food and coffee stops, fuel information and useful tips to help you make the most of your adventure.

Whether you're behind the wheel of a Porsche, a classic sports car, a hot hatch, a touring car or simply your everyday motor, these adventures are for everyone.

It's not about what you drive. It's about the adventure.

Our first adventure – The NE250

We're kicking things off with one of Scotland's fantastic driving experiences: the North East 250.

This incredible route takes you through some of the most beautiful and varied scenery in the country, combining Highland roads, spectacular mountain scenery, coastal stretches, historic locations and some fantastic places to eat and explore.

But our NE250 guide goes beyond simply following the route.

We've put together an experience designed around the things that make a great road trip special.

Expect spectacular roads, memorable driving sections, places worth pulling over for, fantastic photo opportunities and recommendations that help turn a day out into an adventure.

It's the sort of information I'd want to have in my hands before setting off on a road trip myself.

More than just a business – it's a passion

Drive the Adventure Scotland has been created from years of experience, countless miles on Scottish roads and a genuine enthusiasm for sharing what makes this country so special.

I want to build a collection of digital road-trip guides that people can download, take with them and use to discover Scotland at their own pace.

No tour groups. No fixed schedules. No pressure.

Just you, your car, the open road and the freedom to explore.

Whether you're planning a weekend away, a special driving day with friends or an unforgettable Scottish road trip, I want our guides to help you discover something amazing.

Your next adventure starts here!

Our NE250 digital guide is the first of what I hope will become a fantastic collection of Scottish driving adventures.

If you love driving, exploring new places, discovering incredible scenery and finding roads that make you smile, you're in the right place.

Take the guesswork out of planning and let us point you towards some of Scotland's very best driving experiences.
