Scottish destinations included in UK's 'rudest road trip' with cheeky stops

Motoring experts have revealed the "rudest road trip in the UK", and it includes stops in Scotland.

With the Easter holiday season upon us, people across the country will be looking for ways to make the most of their time off. While there are many day-trip spots all over Scotland that are worth a visit, sometimes nothing beats a good road trip.

Whether it's the NC500 or a route that is a little more under the radar, heading out into the countryside in a car is often the best way to experience Scotland and beyond. If you're looking for a road trip with an added edge, then LeaseCar.uk's new route is sure to make you blush.

Featuring cheeky destinations such as Butthole Lane in Leicestershire and Trailcock Road in Northern Ireland, the route will take travellers all across the UK to see the nation's rudest street names for themselves.

Best of all, the road trip will pass through two scenic Scottish destinations: Edinburgh and Kilmarnock. The former is included in the itinerary thanks to Dick Place, which is located in the heart of the city's historic Grange district, while the latter is home to the humorously named Assloss Road.

Kilmarnock has plenty of other sights to see while you're there, however, from the historic Dean Castle Country Park to the Dick Institute museum and library. The East Ayrshire town is also home to the largest Burns monument in Scotland.

Tim Alcock at Leasecar.uk said: "This country is known for its eccentric nature, and the general reaction to these wacky road names really demonstrates our frank British humour.

"We have created the rudest road trip in the UK, which is bound to be the weirdest drive you’ll ever take. From Dick Place in Edinburgh and Semicock road in Northern Ireland, this road trip is so inappropriate we suggest not taking your kids on this one.

"Who knows how long these roads will keep their rude names as we’re already seeing residents want to get them changed. Have a laugh and visit these crude spots across the UK as soon as you can before they just become a part of history."
