How to play a 5 day road trip in Scotland, UK?

As the country's economy continues to grow, more and more people are living a prosperous life, so this has also led to many people owning their own cars. Whenever the holidays come, most tourists choose to drive their favorite cars for a road trip, and self-driving travel is also a very meaningful thing for us. And today we are going to talk about how to play a five-day road trip in Scotland?

When it comes to Scotland's scenic spots, most people may feel unfamiliar, but I believe that most people will open their mouths in surprise when it comes to Loch Ness. That's right, Loch Ness is in Scotland. Since it was a road trip, we could take the car on the road to Loch Ness at a very leisurely pace, and we could also enjoy the scenery along the way and see if the legendary Loch Ness Monster really existed.

After admiring Loch Ness, we can choose to go to the Elephant Café to take a break and fill our bellies by the way. Many people may not know what kind of existence the Elephant Cafe is, but I can tell you that the Cafe that often appears in the Harry Potter movies we watch is actually the Elephant Cafe. At the moment, we were already very tired from the long journey, so the first day could end like this.

If you still have the energy, we can take a stroll around the area and buy some souvenirs. <>

The next day, until we woke up naturally, we could take a leisurely walk down the Royal Mile streets. Get a feel for Scotland's oldest and busiest streets, where you can shop for some souvenirs or sample the famous local food and snacks. Since it is the busiest old street, there is no shortage of places to visit, so we can play here for two days or more.

After that, we can choose to visit the Orkney Islands. Here, we can see many seals living in harmony with people, and at the same time, we can feel the local cultural heritage here, because the cultural origins of the Orkney Islands are very old, and the traces that have been preserved to this day are very intact. Tourists who like history can get the unique feeling they want here.

Finally, you are ready to end your self-driving life, you can look for it on the Internet, and go to the scenic spots close to you. After all, it was a road trip, so it was still a lot of time spent on the trip, but it was also possible to enjoy the scenery of different regions on the trip.

Personally, I think that on a five-day self-driving trip in Scotland, you can choose to follow the route of the small train, watch the scenery in the surrounding area, eat, drink and play.

The two historic cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh, the Scottish Highlands, the manor where the film was set, Fort William and Glenfinnan Hill, Loch Ness and Inverness.

If you're driving, it's best to do your best online tips in advance, with recommended places such as the British Museum, the Bridge of Sighs, a visit to Big Ben, and a stroll along the Champagne Route.

Online car rental: Choose from different brands of car rental companies in the UK**, usually within 30,000 kilometres of new cars. With your original Chinese driver's license and a valid international credit card, you can pick up your car directly at the nearest dealership on the day of your trip.

Once you've got your pre-booked car, fill up your tank and hit the road!

On-site car rental: Fill in the documents (name, gender, driving experience, country, expiration date of driver's license) and take a photo on the camera on the UK car rental company's computer to get the car keys. There is a car number on the key, go to the parking lot to pick up the car yourself.

After spending a few minutes before and after, you can drive the car away.

Returning the car: You can return the car in a different place, or even return the car in a foreign country. When returning the car, the routine inspection of the condition of the car made by the British car rental company is mainly based on the appearance and instrument display. If there is damage caused by a car accident, the insurance company will pay for it.

By train, I personally think that taking the train is a little more flexible, but it takes a little longer, and it doesn't matter if the landlord likes to fly.

Precautions, it's probably a matter of time. It depends on when the landlord will come, and I recommend that it be after the month, and the weather will be warmer. Scotland is still generally a little colder than England.

And in winter, Loch Ness, Loch Lomond, Skye Island and nothing basically did not seep into the head, it was too cold. And I heard that the lake is closed in winter, but I haven't checked it myself, so I don't know if it's true.

I think the scenery in Scotland is very nice, some small places, small towns are very nice. If the landlord knows someone who goes to school in Scotland and shouts envy or Scots is better, you can ask them if there is anything interesting about it.

As a matter of caution, remember to spend as much pound sterling as you received in Scotland before returning to England. Scotland receives the Bank of England's pounds sterling, which is the one with the Queen's head; But Scotland itself mainly circulated the other three versions of the British pound, which was equivalent to the British pound in England, but was not collected in many parts of England (because they did not know it).

Nothing else. The main thing is the weather

<> "The straight-line distance from London, England to Edinburgh, Scotland is about one kilometer.

Many people choose to go to the UK for a road trip. Actually, it's good to go on a road trip in the UK, but sometimes we should pay attention to some related things. Now let's take a look at what you should pay attention to when traveling to the UK by car.

London has a congestion charge. Don't forget to pay the congestion charge.

In order to alleviate the traffic pressure in London, an economic measure was taken, namely the demarcation of a connecting area. As long as you pass through this district, you have to pay money.

**: Currently GBP per day.

Toll sections: Please click here for inquiries.

Charging method: Adjective (short for adjective) The camera on the street is automatically billed.

b.Payment can be made in advance or on the day of travel. The payment address is printed here.

Never mind? £130 penalty (£65 if you pay the penalty within 14 days)

2.A good way to check the road conditions in the UK**.

You can use it to query. Compared to Google Maps, it provides real-time traffic conditions and more detailed route information.

3.Reminder of driving rules.

0.Regarding right-hand and left-hand drive, I would like to say: aIt is recommended to rent an automatic car to give yourself enough time to get used to it; b .A common mistake is to turn in the wrong direction after turning at an intersection because of habit.

1.At a red light, it is forbidden to turn left unless there is a separate signal light. (Because some students asked, can we turn right at the red light in our country, but can we turn left in the UK).

2.When driving, including waiting for traffic lights, and not answering mobile phones when stuck in traffic. Violators will be fined £60, except for the use of Bluetooth headphones.

3.Seat belts are required by law for both drivers and passengers, and car seats are mandatory for children under the age of metre.

4.Similar to the signal light below (which flashes all the time), it means that if there is a pedestrian crossing the road, the vehicle must stop to give the pedestrian priority, and the vehicle must stop! Because the British cross the street without looking at the road.

5.Note that if there is a stop sign on the road, you must stop. If you can't see that there is no car in front of you, keep driving; There are give way signs on the road, slow down and wait patiently for the main road vehicles to pass! And the stop lane is sometimes a sign, sometimes a line is drawn on the ground;

For example, if you are driving a black car, even if you are close to the intersection, you should slow down and wait for the red car to pass (because of the marking on the ground, you have to give way). It's important to remember that because the UK is fast, the driver will think you're following the traffic rules and will most likely ignore you at all!

6.There is also a situation (sorry I didn't find the picture), that is, when there are ambulances, police cars, fire trucks and other special vehicles honking, you will find that all kinds of vehicles on the road will drive into the shoulder of the road, etc. Make way for emergency vehicles.

Give way if possible, but don't break traffic rules, such as running a red light! From the perspective of human morality, the driver of Zhaoru has to give way to the special car, but there is no corresponding provision in the law. If you break the traffic rules, you still have to pay a ticket (legally, drivers of emergency vehicles are trained to drive their own way).

Of course, many Britons should also respond that these drivers are unreasonable, honk their horns to intimidate, force others to violate traffic rules, etc. )

Rent a car (face this type of question every day, come and answer the ......The following are some precautions for self-driving in the UK sorted out on renting a car **: Self-driving instructions for good road conditions in the UK, drive on the left, contrary to Chinese mainland, driving habits are different from those in China, before entering the roundabout, you must stop in front of the yellow line or white line, and right-hand side vehicles are preferred.
