The only way to beat the booze bus and high volume of RBT line ups around the Highlands is to leave your car at home if you’re going to drink.

There are grave dangers associated with imbibing and getting behind the wheel. Indeed, if you do drink and drive in the Highlands, be prepared to get caught. The police here are vigilant and good on them for being so, I say.

In any case, with myriad options to shuttle you around, there’s no need to take your car on any alcohol-included adventure.

From The 05 Club to organised cellar door tours, nearly every driver you encounter is a long time Highlands local. So, you may even be regaled with some colourful local history. What a way to beat the booze bus!
