Every year in September I organise an on-the-road trip with my trusty companions, and for 2019 we have chosen a beautiful seven-day driving tour of Scotland<\/strong> to discover the Higlands.<\/p>\n\n

For the best understanding of what to see in Scotland<\/strong>, an on-the-road tour is always an exciting but tiring experience, so if you decide to do it with other people, fellowship and a shared vision of the journey are essential.Ornella and I for these specific occasions have a couple of friends, John and Piera, who are perfect companions.<\/p>\n\n

We usually choose a destination together on the return leg of the journey we are currently making.v So on our return from Portugal the ‘roulette ball’ stopped over Scotland. John was very curious, but I have to say a little sceptical: ‘You want to take me to see some green meadows’, but our Scottish road trip was one of the best trips we had taken together, so much so that the choice for next year fell again on Scotland, for a second tour to discover the Orkney Islands of the magnificent Scottish landscapes and the areas we did not see on this trip.<\/p>\n\n

Where is Scotland<\/h2>\n\n

Scotland is located in the north of Great Britain and occupies more than a third of its surface, the ancient Romans would have described it as the land north of Hadrian’s Wall.<\/p>\n\n

Scotland<\/strong>, in italian Scozia<\/em>, in Scottish Gaelic Alba<\/em>, has no international borders. It is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and its territory includes 790 other smaller islands including the Orkney, Hebrides and Shetland Islands. <\/p>\n\n

Scotland has a flat territory with reliefs with different characteristics from those of the Alps. From my studies in Geology, I remember that it is one of the oldest places in the world created with Caledonian orogenesis.<\/p>\n\n

Flights low cost Scotland<\/h3>\n\n

You can reach Scotland with many low cost flights and as far as I am concerned, from Pisa Ryanair has available routes to both Edinburgh and Glasgow and we spent about 110 euros per person round trip with luggage in the cabin and 1 in the hold. <\/p>\n\n

Don’t make our mistake though! Fascinated by the amount of luggage we could take with us, we did not take into account that we would have to rent a van instead of hiring a car.<\/a> Although flights were available from Pisa, the nearest airport to us, to both Glasgow and Edinburgh, we opted for the latter as the aim of our Scottish driving tour was to visit Fife<\/strong>, the Higlands<\/strong> and the Isle of Skye<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

Scotland what to see<\/h2>\n\n

If you are wondering what to see in Scotland I will tell you that it was one of the most beautiful road trips I have ever taken.<\/p>\n\n
