Starting in Aberdeen and finishing in Inverness, the route is around 116 miles long and takes around three hours to complete by car.

The journey includes a number of fascinating and exciting sites, including Culloden Battlefield, Fort George, Cawdor Castle and Glenlivet Distillery.

Discussing the findings, CEO at InsureandGo Chris Rolland said that road trips are a "fantastic" way to explore a country.

He added that while there are many routes worldwide that are already "celebrated" for being some of the planet’s most picturesque, they were curious to discover which ones are "jam-packed" with exciting landmarks and attractions.

He said it was also "interesting" to see so many UK road trips ranking so highly alongside iconic routes.
