Assume that’s via the Great Glen? Sounds fun, how long would you reckon it might take?

Yes it would be, roughly following the old Round Scotland Race route, which took place over 5 days. Around 100 miles a day

Sounds great! Definitely up for that, but with other commitments this year, possibly one for me, to think about for 2019....

Would probably cruise at 25/30 knots for most of it, maybe around 50/55 through Loch Ness
