• Find a Scottish castle on your car tour.historic scotland image by Louise McGilviray from Fotolia.com
  
  Touring Scotland by car is one of the best ways to experience the dramatic landscape of the country. You can take in the contrasts between the lochs and mountains and the breathtaking castles and gardens. A car tour at your own pace allows you to enjoy sightseeing tours, inns and taverns; as well as adventure sports such as whitewater rafting, canoeing, and off-roading. And because you're not tied to a schedule, touring by car allows you more spontaneity during the trip.

Self-Guided Car Tour

• Scotland awaitsbeautyful coastgardhouse scotland image by John Hofboer from Fotolia.com
  
  A self-guided car tour gives you the most freedom to explore Scotland at your own pace. The roads in Scotland vary in size but on average are in quite good condition, so you don't have to be a race car driver to navigate them, as with other countries in Europe. And the scenery varies in scope, so you will encounter wild mountains, wooded splendor, and beautiful lochs all in less than a hundred-mile drive.
