Scotland: Travel Information
One of the best ways in which to enjoy the thrills of Scotland is to tour the open countryside on foot or by car or coach. Many people choose to choose one place as a base and take daytrips to other nearby places.
IMPORTANT
If you are going on a walking tour, or hillwalking, we cannot emphasize strongly enough how important it is to dress accordingly and pack clothing for poor weather. The weather in Scotland is changeable and many people find themselves in severe difficulties each and every year. Whenever you plan to go walking ALWAYS let somebody know your planned route and what time they should expect you back! Even in the summer months of June, July and August the weather can suddenly change, especially in mountainous regions, so be prepared.
