North of the Glasgow Edinburgh Central belt its all rather subjective as to what constitutes "built up area"....half the land mass of the UK and only 5.5 million people most squeesed into the southern half

Re: Shetland Islands. Well this is coming up fast, I'll be finishing work at 2pm next Thursday (15th) and will hopefully be on the road by 3pm and heading for southern Scotland (Moffet?) for the night and continue the journey to Aberdeen next day. I need to be in Aberdeen by 5-6pm to board the Ferry and it leaves for Lerwick, Shetland, at 7pm. The crofters cottage I'm booked into has WiFi so I should be able to log on here and keep folks updated.  Keep an eye on the webcam on the link below, I'm going try and park the 2CV on Victoria Pier in sight of the cam on Saturday morning (17th). Here's the link... http://visit.shetland.org/lerwick-town-centre-webcam

Re: Shetland Islands.  You're absolutely right Sean, it is Moffat It's the traffic volume between here (Worcester) and the M55 (Blackpool/Preston), that worries me most, once past there it should be much quieter and quicker.
