Agree with that .... will be doing the Aberdeen to Edinburgh part ourselves in a couple of weeks (a Goldsworthy exhibition Mrs Image wants to view and a couple of roaming about days planned)..... much nicer on the train ... having traipsed up and down the road from Fraserburgh to the South dozens and dozens of times while racing it's become dull and tedious (not as scenic as the train route and you shouldn't really be rubber-necking at the wheel anyway) ..... for 'trips to town' the 45 miles down to Aberdeen is done by (free) bus ..... and trips ending in a city done by train ..... driving reserved for destinations without public transport, towing and road-trips in the Morgan.
