Travel advice - Scotland

[Jock Scot]

If it were me and I was travelling to Scotland on a reasonable budget this is what I would do. I am not talking about the expensive hotel route,we have more than a few of those and I am not talking about hiking and camping.I would hire a small car, @£250 per week, stay in B&B's about @£18/£25 per double room per night,plan on using about 6/10 gallons of fuel a day,as of today petrol is just under £1 a litre, and allow say £25/£40 per person a day for meals and sundry expenses.You can up or down these figures to suit your personal tastes ,but I have tried to steer a middle route on costs.

What to see? Only you can answer that,but allow a lot of extra time for stopping to see the views on the way to wherever you are going! Also the Highland roads do not allow for quick passage and always,always,always fill up your petrol tank when the gauge says half full.

Basically,plan,plan,plan!Oh and keep your eyes open whilst you are driving around you never know what interesting gem is lurking nearby.
