I'm in Glasgow. Can get bad at times, but not as bad as up north.

You get winters as you say, but being West Coast, you are normally warmer than the East (Gulf Stream and all)...
Also depends on whether you have to drive on roads that aren't maintained (gritted, ploughed etc) as is the case in the Eye-bur-deen area.
Gritters traditionally appear in time for the last of the thaw.

How was it for you?
Did you escape OK?

Ho-ho-ho...
But on the flip side, you won't need Ori-nasal masks for the smog since the air is as pure as it comes (well, maybe not down in Weegie-land) and there are some of the best roads in the world to drive on, with hardly any traffic.
Swings and roundabouts!

Need some suggestions for a nice route? 

You in East or West?

NE, just north of Aberdeen.

As for a route, if you want to research a cracker...try heading for Blairgowrie, then over Glenshee to Braemar, then towards Ballater, head over the Lecht on the infamous Cockbridge to Tomintoull road, then Grantown...you are then deep in Whisky country...just drive anywhere round there. It's sublime.
Cockbridge-Tomintoull, probably the best road i've found in the UK:

Even in winter, us northern types attack it with enthusiasm...


For a really good drive, from there, head for Inverness, via Carrbridge/Aviemore, go down the side of Loch Ness and pick up some of the sublime West Coast roads back down towards Glasgow.

Aww...those pictures are making me sorry to be stuck offshore!

Anyway, I digress...
