TRIP OF A LIFETIME!!

I did it I took a leap of faith and took the trip I have dreamed about since I was six years old and as I am sitting here in the airport waiting for a flight that will take me home I can honestly say making this decision was the best choice I have ever made. Was it cheap no I used every penny I saved up since I was sixteen to pay for this trip. I knew going Into this I didn’t want it to be some basic run of the mill tourist trap. So I hoped on TikTok and just played around. Until by some amazingly wonderful algorithm I came across tartan Viking. I know what you’re thinking what makes them so different and the answer is everything! From the first moment I sent my inquiry to the moment my wonderful guide Henry ( who happens to be one half of the dream team) how I managed that no idea but back to it. From the moment he replied back to me till just a few hours ago when I got dropped off at the airport I felt heard. I told him what I wanted I told him the whole story and boy did he deliver a trip of a lifetime deep in the highlands we’re no one but a local would know to go. I didn’t spend five days in a money pit of tourism oh no I spent five days exploring ruins and tiny towns long thought gone. He took my dream and made it a reality! That’s what makes them different they don’t do this because they wanna treat you like your just some dumb tourist who they can make money off of by some oohs and awws. No they make every experience 100 percent unique to you and take the absolute pleasure in showing you a country that they love their home and I am getting off topic believe me I do that. By the time it was over I have been over 1000 miles throughout Scotland and believe me when I tell you touring with tartan Viking will be the BEST time of your life. And by some chance miracle Henry sees this again I cannot thank you enough even though I am bawling in the airport like a big baby, for listening to me and making my dream I had since I was a little girl and bringing it to life for me! I expect a tour named after me, The 1000 mile tour! Or I’ll settle for a boulder with my name on it! To anyone still on the fence take that leap I promise you from one stranger to another you will not regret it! Also I see you next year for another wonderful life changing trip with a few more in tow this time!!

My friends and I decided to book a two day tour with Tartan Vikings and.. it has definitely been worth every penny! From the moment Iain picked us up until the drop off back at the hotel we were in awe. He went above and beyond our expectations, we followed his lead and trusted his opinion and we couldn’t have been happier with his choices! He understood what we were after, looked into it and modified planned stops on route for us, was very knowledgeable, took lots of videos and photos of us and the scenery, he made us feel safe and super comfortable! His music taste is great too ;) We are back home now and raving about it! We cannot recommend this enough! Thank you so much ♥️

We can’t not describe with enough words this experience, was worth every single penny. We absolutely loved every single second, we had a blast. From the moment of booking til the drop off at the Hotel. Iain was so knowledgeable, so kind and detailed, we can not thank him enough for all his effort! We are leaving now and feeling very grateful and lucky for the choice we have made by choosing Tartan Vikings, as we leave full of amazing memories and so many more boxes ticked of what we expected to fulfill. A thousand thank you’s, for everything. From 3 very happy Mallorcan girls that loved Scotland!

Amazing Tour. I love smaller Group Tours, so if you wanna have something like a small "Private", fun, informative, funny Tour BOOK IT IMMEDIATELY. We had Henry as our Guide, in Company of Callum (sorry if i wrote the name incorrect 😅) and it was worth every cent. We also got the Information that Eric NEEDS a castle, so ofc we gotta support that wish by booking a tour 😂 If the Guides ask you what you would rather see, a touristy town or a god damn waterfall or anything like that, do yourself a favor and take the second one. Every step i took today was worth the leg pain. Its only a day but we still saw so many things. Thank you for this great day, Henry and Callum.

Exploring Scotland with Tartan Viking tours! We love Scotland and after discovering Tartan Viking tours on Instagram we became very enthusiastic about the way they work and present themselves! So we contacted them, to require more information. Eric and Henry provided us all information needed and send us a list/schedule of the place we were going to visit. They promised it would become a 5 days trip trough a big part of Scotland we will never forget. We can assure you, they were right! After Ross (our guide) picked us up in Edinburgh, on August 14, the journey started. What a guide Ross is, his knowledge of the Scottish history, stories, legends and spacial places is amazing, and so was the tour. Because it was our wedding anniversary we also booked a photoshoot by holeynherititage.photography. The guys , Eric and Henry, were kind enough to book/block some time for it in the tour schedule. After the 5 amazing days through Scotland, it was a shame the tour was over. So if you ever consider a guided tour through Scotland, Tartan Viking tours is the one to book. We certainly will!! Thank you, Eric, Henry and the amazing Ross! Plus a special thank you to Rebecca (photographer) André & Ronald The Netherlands

One of the best trips I’ve ever done! I only had two days to tour Scotland and TartanViking gave me the best tour a woman could ask for!! Danny (my Scottish Viking) was so knowledgeable about the Jacobite history and the histories of all the places we went to! He was just as enthusiastic about where we went as I was. Upon hearing I wanted to see more castles, he adjusted the tour to go see more castle ruins and a barrack. I enjoyed every single moment of my two day trip!!

Alnwick Castle - The Viking Coast and Alnwick Castle

The Viking Coast and Alnwick Castle

This exciting tour explores Holy Island, scene of the first Viking invasion of Britain, and Alnwick Castle (filming location for Harry Potter and Downton Abbey) before returning north to Edinburgh via the beautiful Borders.

Our scenic drive towards the historic border town of Berwick-on-Tweed follows the sweeping coastline of the North Sea. Soon we cross the ancient Scotland / England border into Northumberland. Lindisfarne or Holy Island is a tidal island settled around AD 635 by Irish monks who had moved to Scotland. From here the Christian message spread throughout the north of England. In 793 a fierce Viking invasion heralded the beginning of the Viking Age.

A fun day out in the safe hands of our friendly guides

The Vikings in Scotland: A guide to Scottish Vikings

How much do you know about the impact of the Vikings in Scotland? Most people rightfully associate the Vikings with Scandinavian countries like Denmark, Iceland, and Norway.

However, these adventurous individuals often visited and settled in other regions too.

As Scotland is just across the North sea from the Scandinavian region, it marked one of the first entry points for the Vikings into the United Kingdom. There are even some Scottish people who can trace their ancestry back to the early Vikings.

Today, we’re going to take a closer look at the activity of the “Scottish Vikings” who found a home for themselves on the shores of Scotland.

We’ll also be exploring what happened to the Vikings in Scotland, and how they influenced the Scottish culture for centuries to come.

An introduction to Viking influence in Scotland

Scottish heritage is a relatively complex thing. Many of the “Scots” located in Scotland today have a history connecting them to the Gaelic or Irish, while others have connections to Scandinavian, and German roots.

The diverse genetic history of the Scottish people is a result of the country’s colorful history, and the interactions they had with different cultures.

The Vikings in Scotland had perhaps one of the most significant influences on the development of the country. According to archeological discovery , the Vikings invaded Scotland at some point during the 8 th century.

The initial visit wasn’t a peaceful one. The Vikings arrived on the coasts with the intent of attacking and overthrowing the region, as well as looting precious objects.

Most experts believe the Viking raiders who landed in Scotland came mainly from Norway, but other Scandinavian countries frequently sent raiders to Scotland’s shores too.

Eventually, after some amount of pillaging, a scattered group of Vikings formed a settlement in Orkney, and Jarl Sigmund the Mighty was pronounced the first “Earl of Orkney”.

While few records have survived providing a clear insight into the early years of the Norse settlement in Scotland, we do know the language of the Vikings quickly overtook “Pictish”, one of the common tongues of the time.

Are Vikings Scottish? The connection

While Vikings may have chosen to settle in Scotland, they didn’t give up their Nordic roots. The Norse lords who began taking over the Scottish coastlines still spoke their own language, and maintained their connection to Scandinavian countries .

In fact, at one point, leaders in Scotland were united under the rule of Norway, a pact which was formalized during 1098, when King Eager signed the islands over to Magnus III in Norway.

One of the most famous “Scottish” Vikings in history rose to power in the 11 th century. Thorfinn Sigurdsson, the current Earl of Orkney was responsible for advancing the Viking culture into the Scottish mainland in the north.

This part of Scotland now has a number of Norse names for various places, like Sunderland, Dingwall, and Wick.

At the time, Thorfinn stood as a significant insight into the mingling cultures of the Scottish population at the time. Thorfinn’s father, Sigurd, was a Scandinavian Earl, killed during the Battle of Clontarf, while his mother was the daughter of a Scottish ruler.

History shows he spoke both Gaelic and Norse — launching discussions into Scottish Vikings for decades.

Some people even believe Thorfinn was the real inspiration behind the famous character “Macbeth”. Although at present, we don’t know enough about the historical ruler to form any connections.

Were the Scottish Vikings? Where Vikings thrived in Scotland

While not all of the Scottish inhabitants during the age of the Vikings considered themselves to be Vikings, there were a number of members of this culture scattered throughout the region.

Scotland was home to a number of Norse settlements, including the “Kingdom of the Isles”. This location covered various parts of the western Isles, and the Isle of Man.

The Kingdom of the Isles was home to various ethnicities and languages, and split into two distinct parts.

The South Isles (Suðr-eyjar) included the Isle of Man and the Hebrides, while the Northern Isles (Norðr-eyjar) included Shetland and Orkney, where Norse influence is thought to have been most significant among various cultures.

Norse leaders also became the ancestors of many clans within the western isles, including the famous “Clan MacLeod”. What’s more, they helped to inspire the names for many of the regions throughout Scotland, such as “Egilsay”, which translates to Eigil’s Island”.

The Isle of Man is perhaps the most interesting location to explore when looking at Vikings in Scotland.

The space, located in the middle of the Irish Sea, is considered by historians to be the melting point which brought together all of the different cultures which formed the Ireland we know today.

Interestingly, the origin of the name “Isle of Man” is still unknown.

What happened to the Vikings in Scotland?

So, what happened to the Vikings in Scotland?

The Viking settlement in Orkney quickly gave way to a much wider expansion of the Viking culture across the Scottish landscape. The Viking kings of Dublin and the earls of Orkney ruled most of the island throughout the 10 th and 11 th century.

However, the Gaelic culture and language remained strong among the locals, eventually developing into “Godelic”, which is now known as “Manx”.

During 1079, the Crovan dynasty gained significant prominence in Ireland, marking a turning point for the Isle of Man. The Kings of Norway, and the Vikings descendants of the time nominally dominated the kings of the Crovan dynasty.

Did Vikings have dreadlocks: What did Viking dreadlocks look like and why were they special?

However, in the 1260s, Norway and Scotland went to war over the Isle of Man, and Scotland came out as the victors.

Scottish culture had regained control of most of the region by the late 1200s, and Viking culture began to fade, though some elements did remain present for centuries after.

During the Battle of Neville’s Cross in 1346, the Scottish King David II was captured by an English group, and the Isle of Man was awarded to England as part of his ransom.

What are Scottish Vikings called?

The Scottish Vikings who emerged from ancestors of the Vikings who first appeared in Scotland were typically referred to as the “Norse-Gaels”. The Norse-Gaels evolved over time as a result of marriage between the Nordic invaders, and the Gaelic locals.

Today, Viking heritage in Scotland isn’t celebrated as often as it is in the Scandinavian region. However, there are still some ancestors of the Vikings in Scotland who continue to recognize their colorful background.

For instance, some of the Scottish people in the Shetland islands celebrate their heritage through an annual “Fire Festival”.

The Fire Festival commemorates the Vikings who once lived in the region, and is held every January in the town of Lerwick in the Shetland Islands. Here, people dress in Viking clothing and carry torches and axes throughout the town.

A Viking longship is often carried throughout the streets, before eventually being set ablaze and cast into the water.

Otherwise known as “Up Helly Aa”, the Fire Festival has emerged as Europe’s largest Viking fire festival, and is attended by thousands of people every year.

Vikings in Scotland: An incredible history

The Vikings in Scotland had a huge impact on the evolution of the Scottish culture. Thanks to their early settlement on the coastlines of Scotland, the Scottish Vikings contributed significantly to the varied DNA and genetic backgrounds of the Scottish people today.

Many of the Scottish families throughout the country right now can tie their history back to the early settlements which appeared in Scotland during the 8 th to 13 th century.

The Viking influence in Scotland can also still be seen among the various unique names given to different regions in the country. Plus, there are still celebrations drawing attention to these older settlers.

The presence of the Vikings in Scotland gives an interesting insight into how the Vikings and their adventurous nature impacted the development of various groups and countries across the globe.

While the Vikings may be a primarily Scandinavian group, they also helped to deliver Scandinavian concepts to multiple regions over the years.

How to plan the ultimate island-hopping adventure in Scotland

Wild, windswept and wonderfully scenic, these islands have neolithic sites, curious wildlife and a culture all of their own.

The 900-odd islands, islets and skerries amassed off the western and northern coasts of mainland Scotland are an eclectic bunch. In the north, the North Sea archipelagos of Shetland and Orkney have Viking history and names derived from Old Norse. To the west, the Atlantic-bound Outer Hebrides remain the stronghold of the Gaelic language, which is still spoken everywhere on the islands. And then there are the Inner Hebrides, tucked in closer to the mainland and running from whisky-soaked Islay in the south to the toothy peaks of Skye in the north.

It’s a region where connection matters. Some destinations have easy links to mainland communities; more ferries and flights mean more people and, generally, a more cosmopolitan feel. Others are flung further out to sea, islands off islands reached only via multiple ferries, and with a wholly different character.

At times, this topography has led to heartbreak. Take islands such as St Kilda and Mingulay, in the Outer Hebrides: home to small but determined local communities for millennia, both had to be eventually abandoned in the last century due to a gradual loss of self-sufficiency.

But it can also provide part of the charm, for it makes the journey part of the experience. A highlight of any visit to the islands is likely to be the trip out to them. Skye, for example, can be reached via a swooping road bridge that climbs to 115ft above Loch Alsh. If you fly into Barra, gateway to the Outer Hebrides, you’ll touch down right on a beach — the only such landing in the world.

Indeed, the beaches are a highlight across the archipelagos. Many look like they could be found on a screensaver, all buttery sand and aquamarine water. Some stretches of coastline are so sparsely populated and little visited, you might romp down their dunes and make the day’s first footprints.

Wildlife flourishes throughout, too. Expect to spot eagles overhead and puffins on the cliffs, plus all manner of marine life, from seals and dolphins to basking sharks and even whales. This also means you’ll find just-caught seafood on the menu everywhere, from cosy restaurants to village pubs.

We’ve picked some of the best trips to discover this region of wind and waves, but wherever you travel, there’s always another island waiting on the horizon. The temptation to carry on is as strong as the whisky.

Itinerary 1:   Far North & Orkney

Start point: Inverness End point: Inverness Distance travelled: 374 miles Average length: 7 days

Orkney is unlike anywhere else in Scotland. That’s partly down to its history: it was under Norwegian and Danish control for hundreds of years until the 15th century, and many Orcadians still claim Scandinavian ancestry. It’s also down to its location, across the Pentland Firth from Scotland’s northeast tip, with the largest town, Kirkwall, standing more than 200 miles north of Edinburgh.

Despite feeling far removed, it’s just 90 minutes by ferry from the Scottish mainland. By renting a car and using Inverness as your start and end point, you can easily combine exploring Orkney with a spin around Scotland’s far north, where the Flow Country is a highlight. It’s the world’s most intact and extensive blanket bog system, a peaty, pool-dotted expanse whose colour palette of mossy browns and earthy greens seems to shift like a kaleidoscope as clouds scud overhead.

Once you reach Orkney via ferry, the landscape is dominated by the North Sea, glinting on the horizon and pounding the shoreline, never too far from the road. On Mainland, Orkney’s largest island, a straightforward loop takes in the archipelago’s best-known sights, many of them historically significant, including the ancient village of Skara Brae — part of Orkney’s UNESCO-listed group of Neolithic sites — and Scapa Flow, where you can dive among shipwrecks. On Hoy, to the south of Mainland and accessible via ferry, one of the UK’s tallest sea stacks provides an easy marker for the end of your trip.

Highlights in the Far North & Orkney

1.   Forsinard Flows Hire a car in Inverness and head north to Scotland’s Flow Country, an expanse of rare blanket bog that’s currently being considered for UNESCO World Heritage status. At its heart is an RSPB reserve where you can walk the mile-long Dubh Lochan boardwalk, spotting lizards, frogs and dragonflies at ground level, and hen harriers and golden plovers overhead. A viewing tower affords views across the peatland.

2. Skara Brae Take the 90-minute car ferry from Scrabster, on the mainland, to Stromness, in Orkney, then find Skara Brae huddled next to a blustery beach. We know Neolithic people had a form of fitted furniture thanks to a storm that hit Orkney’s Mainland in 1850. It uncovered this immaculately preserved 5,000-year-old village, where nine surviving homes are divided into clear rooms and feature stone dressers and box-beds. The visitor centre displays artefacts such as jewellery and tools.

3. Kirkwall A 25-minute drive east takes you to Kirkwall, home to Orkney’s main harbour and airport and liveliest pub scene. You’ll also find Britain’s most northerly cathedral, the yellow-and-red sandstone St Magnus, founded in the 12th century. The town is the most bankable spot for a proper Orcadian live music session: pop into Skipper’s , The Bothy Bar or the Auld Motor Hoose to find out what’s on.

4. Scapa Flow Once a British naval base, Scapa Flow played a key role in both world wars. Today, these sheltered waters just south of Mainland are littered with shipwrecks, from blockships sunk to keep the Germans at bay to the German High Seas Fleet, deliberately scuttled here in 1919. Take a snorkel safari for a glimpse of these wrecks or get closer to them on a scuba dive with Kraken Diving .

5. Old Man of Hoy For the last leg of the trip, take the car ferry from Houton, on Mainland, to Lyness, on Hoy, then drive the 25 minutes to Rackwick. From here, hike along the cliffs — spotting fulmars and great skuas as you go — to the Old Man of Hoy, on the island’s west coast. This 450ft-tall red sandstone sea stack is best seen in late afternoon, when the sun brings out its rosy colour. Allow three hours return for the hike.

Itinerary 2:   Outer Hebrides

Start point:   Barra End point: Stornoway Distance travelled: 137 miles Average length: 10 days

Some of Scotland’s finest scenery lies far off its western coast, across the crashing waters of the Minch strait on the fringes of Europe. If the climate were warmer, the Outer Hebrides would surely be overrun with sunseekers, home as they are to white sand beaches that could stand in for the Caribbean. Instead, with the average summer high a cool 16C, this 130-mile-long string of islands remains quiet year-round — and fiercely traditional.

The archipelago is the last stronghold of the Scottish Gaelic language, once the dominant tongue throughout most of Scotland. It sets the tone for encounters with islanders still engaged in traditional crofting, fishing and weaving, producing the world-famous Harris tweed — still handwoven using island-spun wool — and some of the tastiest seafood.

This is a journey to take your time over, making diversions to local art galleries and near-hidden Neolithic sites. Start by flying from Glasgow to Barra, then hop between South Uist, North Uist, Harris and Lewis via ferry and causeway, eventually flying back from Stornoway. Along the way, the road glides above the Atlantic, ribbons around rocky bays and hugs the foot of lofty, heather-cloaked mountains.

Highlights in the Outer Hebrides

1. Traigh Mhòr This beach, on the northern tip of Barra, is the only one in the world to double as a runway for scheduled flights. Begin your Hebridean adventure with a memorable touchdown, watching the sands rushing up to meet you as you descend over the Atlantic. Pick up a vehicle from Car Hire Hebrides and drive the 20 minutes to the main village, Castlebay. Its huddle of homes gazes out at Kisimul Castle , a fortress atop an islet and the only medieval castle remaining in the Outer Hebrides.

2. Beinn Langais Take the ferry from Castlebay to Lochboisdale, on South Uist, then drive 50 minutes to North Uist and check in to Langass Lodge , a former shooting lodge. Pull on some boots for a two-mile circular trail, taking in the 5,000-year-old Barpa Langais chambered cairn, Pobull Fhinn stone circle and Beinn Langais hill. North Uist is slung so low that the latter’s 300ft summit rewards you with a panorama of peatland and sinewy sea lochs.

3. St Kilda Continue north via road and ferry to Leverburgh, on the island of Harris, your base for the next couple of days. This is the departure point for day trips to the St Kilda archipelago, which rises sharply from the water 40 miles to the west. Once home to a thriving community, it now stands abandoned, the traditional Hebridean blackhouses gently crumbling. While it’s officially uninhabited, some life remains here, with almost a million seabirds — including the UK’s largest colony of puffins — cloaking the sheer cliffs and enormous sea stacks.

4. Golden Road Starting around 30 minutes’ drive north of Leverburgh, the Golden Road is hailed as one of the isles’ best drives. Clinging to Harris’s eastern coast, its single track loops around sea lochs, the waterline occasionally broken by seals’ glossy crowns. Check out local art at Skoon Gallery & Studio and Finsbay Gallery and make time for the Harris tweed exhibition in Drinishader to learn about the beloved cloth.

5. Calanais Standing stones Swap Harris for Lewis with an hour-long drive north from Drinishader to the Calanais Standing Stones , a cross-shaped stone circle older than Stonehenge. We’ll probably never know why they were erected here some 5,000 years ago — astronomical observatory? Site of Neolithic worship? — but the intrigue has contributed to myths and legends. The mountains and lochs around it make it all a glorious sight.

6.   Uig Sands Drive another 30 minutes to get to this blissfully quiet beach, then hike across miles of pristine sands washed by teal waters to work up an appetite. Lunch is at Uig Sands restaurant: nab a window seat and order the Uig Lodge smoked salmon, then linger a night or two in one of four chic bedrooms, all of which have private patios and views across the bay.

10 Scotland Road Trip Tips You Need to Know Before You Go

Scotland is a rugged and beautiful country that’s perfect for exploring on a road trip. The craggy coasts, placid lochs, and rolling hills make it a dream to discover. There are countless historic castles, iconic distilleries, and postcard-perfect islands at your fingertips.

I absolutely love Scotland. It’s stunningly beautiful and I can never get enough of the countless changing landscapes, Scotch distilleries, and warm, welcoming locals.

Having been to Scotland over a handful of times in the last decade, I think taking a road trip is the best way to explore the country. Home to just 5.5 million people, it’s a sparsely populated land, so much of your driving here will be out in the countryside. The country is just built for it.

But there are still a few things to keep in mind before you depart.

Here are 10 Scotland road-trip tips (plus my favorite routes) to help make your drive better, safer, and more fun (based on my experience at least):

Table of Contents

1. Get Travel Insurance

2. rent the right vehicle, 3. be ready to drive on the left, 4. understand roundabouts, 5. know the speed limits, 6. add in time for scenic stops, 7. download the right apps, 8. bring a paper map, 9. understand how to drive on single-track roads, 10. don’t rush, suggested routes, scotland road trip faq, get your in-depth budget guide to europe.

I never leave home without travel insurance . And I never rent a car without comprehensive insurance either.

I know, it’s an added expense. And chances are you won’t even need it.

But what happens if you do need it and it’s not there? You’ll be paying out of pocket for damage. And that could cost you thousands.

Scotland has lots of narrow, rugged, or single-track roads (more on those later) that can be tricky to navigate. Tire and windshield damage is common. Throw in the ever-changing weather, and you’ve got recipe for trouble.

That’s why I strongly encourage you to take out car insurance for your road trip. The peace of mind is worth it.

When it comes to renting a car, I recommend Discover Cars . When you book, it’s easy to add car insurance onto your purchase with the click of a button. The site makes it clear what is covered and how much it costs.

You essentially have two choices when it comes to renting a vehicle in Scotland — and choice will drastically impact your trip. Your options are a car or a campervan.

A car will be cheaper and use less gas, but you’ll have to find accommodation each night. A campervan/RV will be more money and require more fuel, but you can sleep inside the vehicle and thus save money on accommodation. (It’s not my jam but to each their own.)

Both options make for an amazing trip, so there is no wrong answer. Just keep in mind that manual transmissions are the default in Scotland, so if you want a vehicle with automatic transmission, you’ll need to specify that while booking.  

Traffic in Scotland flows on the left, just like the rest of the UK. This is the opposite of the US, Canada, and the majority of Europe (only Ireland, the UK, Malta, and Cyprus drive on the left in Europe).

If you rent a manual vehicle, you’ll be switching gears with your left hand instead of your right, which has a bit of a learning curve. (Personally, I prefer an automatic).

Old habits die hard, so if you’re used to driving on the right-hand side of the road, drive cautiously. Driving on the left can be especially challenging when you arrive at a roundabout (more on that below) or in a city. Take it slow at first, until you adjust.  

Roundabouts are a traffic circles that serve as intersections, instead of stop lights or stop signs. They force vehicles to slow down without stopping the flow of traffic. While they aren’t especially common in the US, they are incredibly popular in Europe (they reduce serious traffic accidents by upwards of 90%).

Roundabouts are very common in Scotland. And they flow in the opposite direction (clockwise) than do those in the US (counterclockwise). When approaching a roundabout, slow down drastically and yield to traffic in the roundabout until you have an opening to enter the traffic circle. All traffic flows the same direction in a roundabout.

If there are multiple lanes, you’ll need to be on an outer lane when exiting. The inner lane of the roundabout is for cars not exiting immediately.

When you’re ready to exit the roundabout, signal so cars behind you know you will be turning.

If you’re not comfortable when you arrive at a roundabout, just take it slow and signal your intentions. They are much easier to handle than you think!  

Posted speed limits in Scotland are written in miles. While this is helpful for Americans like me, travelers from countries that use kilometers will want to pay extra attention.

Common speed limits are:

• Built-up areas: 30 MPH
• Single roadways: 60 MPH
• Dual roadways: 70 MPH
• Highways: 70 MPH

These numbers are just guides, however. Always follow local signage to ensure safety. When in doubt, it’s always better to go slower rather than faster until you verify the speed. I’d write down some common conversions so you can have them handy if you get confused.  

I know a lot of travelers like to really plan out their routes and itineraries. When you only have a few days, it can be tempting to plan everything to a T (I used to do this a lot). However, there are lots of diversions to explore in Scotland, from quaint towns to scenic vistas to short hikes.

You’re going to want to pull over every few minutes for a vista, mountain, loch, or abandoned castle. The landscape is so beautiful that even the average sights are Insta-worthy. For that reason, build in buffer time in your itinerary so that, if you decide to stop or take a little diversion, you’ll have the time. I can’t recommend this enough. Sometimes, the best parts of a trip are the ones you stumble into. And you definitely don’t want to be rushing from sight to sight either, so plan to be diverted.  

I know, when you head out on a road trip, the point is to get away from your phone so you can enjoy the local culture and stunning views. However, there are lots of apps out there that can help you save money, stay safe, and save time. Everyone road-tripping around Scotland should have the following apps downloaded to their phone:

• Met Weather – This is the best weather app for the UK. Conditions can change drastically in Scotland, so plan accordingly.
• Google Maps – The best app for looking up directions. Make sure to download your maps so you have them for offline use.
• Park4Night – A helpful app for finding spots to park for your RV or campervan (including free ones).
• Flush – A helpful app for finding public restrooms.
• Petrol Prices – An app for finding and comparing nearby gas prices for when you need to refuel.

Whenever I go on a road trip, I always bring a paper map . I know, Google Maps is easy and free, and mobile data coverage in Scotland is generally reliable. But it’s better to be safe than sorry. You never know when your phone is going to break, if your signal will be lost (likely to happen if you’re driving through remote areas), or if there will be an emergency.

Give yourself peace of mind: bring a paper road map, and just leave it in the glove box. You likely won’t need it, but if you do, you’ll be glad you have it (they make nice souvenirs after a trip too).  

Once you get out of the cities, you may encounter single-track roads. These are essentially two-way roads that only have space for one vehicle. This means that if you encounter oncoming traffic, there is no room for you to pass one another.

Fortunately, these roads usually have passing areas built into them at regular intervals, allowing cars to pull over to make room. Take advantage of these when you see traffic coming, so that you can easily pass one another.

Additionally, take it slow around corners on single-track roads. Accidents can occur here because you can’t see oncoming traffic (with whom you’re sharing a lane). So, drive slowly, and always be prepared to stop.

Lastly, keep in mind that many single-track roads are a bit rugged. Blowing a tire can happen easily, especially if you’re pulling off to the side to make room for passing vehicles. For that reason, make sure you have a spare tire and that you also have insurance coverage for your tires, just to be safe.  

While Scotland isn’t huge, there are still a lot of things see and do here. It may be tempting to rush, so you can pack more into your itinerary, but I strongly encourage you to not do so. Quality, not quantity, is the name of the game. I’ve been on countless road trips around the world, and slower is always better. That means driving less and spending more time at each stop. Do that, and you’ll be able to soak in a lot more of Scotland’s unique culture.

Furthermore, chances are you’ll be driving on a lot of smaller, winding roads here, often surrounded by ambling farm animals to watch out for. That means, for safety reasons, you’ll need to slow down and really focus on the drive. Admire the sights, leave room for spontaneous detours, and forget about rushing from sight to sight. You won’t regret it!  

There are a few popular road trip routes in Scotland. They each offer different things to see and do, and each require different amounts of time to complete. To make the most of your time, pick the route that best suits your travel interests.

Here’s a quick look at a few of the best road trip routes in Scotland:

North Coast 500 – This is probably the most popular road trip route in the country. It loops around the northern tip of Scotland, usually starting and ending in Inverness. Popular stops include Bealach na Bà, Cape Wrath, Smoo Cave , John o’ Groats, and Dunrobin Castle.

You’ll want at least five days, though seven days would be preferable. Just keep in mind that it can get busy in the summer.

Edinburgh/Glasgow to Glen Coe – Glen Coe is a picturesque valley in the Highlands that’s both a National Scenic Area and National Nature Reserve. It’s a popular spot for photographers and hikers, and a must-visit location for anyone exploring the Highlands.

Glen Coe is just 2-2.5 hours from Glasgow and Edinburgh , making it an easy day trip (though I suggest stopping overnight, so you can really soak up the views). It’s also a part of several road trip routes, including the Argyll Coastal Route (listed next).

Argyll Coastal Route – This route along the west coast of Scotland stretches for 129 miles (208 kilometers), from Loch Lomond to Fort Williams. It’s a great alternative to the North Coast 500, as it’s less popular (and thus less crowded). Popular stops along this route include the Inveraray Jail, the cairns of Kilmartin Glen, Glen Coe, and Ben Nevis.

While you could easily drive the distance in a single day, plan to spend at least three days. That will give you time to see the highlights without rushing.

Highlands Tourist Route – Cutting across the eastern side of the country, from Aberdeen to Inverness, this route is a popular choice for history buffs, as there are numerous castle and museum stops, as well as the site of the last battle on British soil, the Battle of Culloden (1746).

The route is just 116 miles (187 kilometers), but at least three days are needed to take it all in.  

If you pick a shorter route or just want to do a weekend road trip to camp, three days will suffice.

What is the most scenic drive in Scotland? Some of the most scenic drives in Scotland include the Argyll Coastal Route, the entire North Coast 500, and the Highlands Tourist Route.

Is driving in Scotland difficult? While driving in the cities can be a pain, once you get out into the countryside, it is very easy. Just use caution on single-track roads and in roundabouts — and remember that you have to drive on the left!

Can you drive onto the Isle of Skye? Yep! It’s connected to the mainland via a bridge.

What is the best month for a Scotland road trip? Generally, April-October is the best time to visit. Personally, I like the autumn, as you’ll get to see the changing leaves. It won’t be as warm, but prices will be lower and everything will be less busy.

Scotland is a beautiful destination and perfect for road trips. With stunning scenery, historic sights, plentiful hiking opportunities, and possible Loch Ness monster sightings, I think renting a car to explore is the best way to experience the country. Whether you want to discover the rugged coast or weave about the Highlands, having a car or campervan will make it both possible and affordable. Just follow the tips above and you’ll be sure to have an amazing time!

Book Your Trip to Scotland: Logistical Tips and Tricks

Book Your Flight Use Skyscanner to find a cheap flight. They are my favorite search engine because they search websites and airlines around the globe so you always know no stone is left unturned.

Book Your Accommodation You can book your hostel with Hostelworld as they have the biggest inventory and best deals. If you want to stay somewhere other than a hostel, use Booking.com as they consistently return the cheapest rates for guesthouses and cheap hotels.

Don’t Forget Travel Insurance Travel insurance protects you against illness, injury, theft, and cancellations. It’s comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong. I never go on a trip without it as I’ve had to use it many times in the past. My favorite companies that offer the best service and value are:

• SafetyWing (best for everyone)
• Insure My Trip (for those over 70)
• Medjet (for additional evacuation coverage)
