Which parts of the east coast?  You'll have to pay our magnificent new bridge over the Forth a visit. It's opening next week.  The three bridges together look fab.  From there, it's an easy 20 mile hop inland to Falkirk to see the Kelpies. Culross is well worth visiting.  http://scotlandwelcomesyou.com/culross-village/

Drive past Dundee, keep driving, do not pass go, do not collect £200. lol that's your get out of jail free card.  There's feck all in Aberdeen either of touristy interest but I imagine you're heading inland well before then to get on the A9.

As for dolphins...well,  I see them pretty regularly from my living room window...brag, brag.. :lol: The photo was shot on my cheapo Fuji at 1000mm hence the fuzziness.  Loads of boats to take you on dolphin watching trips all along the coast though to get close to them.  If you're very lucky you might see some Orcas.  My mum came running to get my attention a couple of months ago as she spotted 2 swimming across the bay.  Where was I?  In the bloody shower, that's where I was.  Damn!
