No plans, a rented Land Rover, and my first time behind the wheel in a left-side driving country make for a great adventure in the Highlands of Scotland.
Haha I like that you waited to go in the shop after nearly taking out a few people. On occasions driving through Europe in a British van I have done the same but in reverse and know full well the embarrassment felt.
Craig, thanks for sharing this. I'm so glad you reminded me of a bucket list that COVID derailed for me: Scottland's Highlands. I had all plans laid up and booked--and then the pandemic happened. For some reason, it has yet to re-materialize. But this piece of writing reminds me that sometimes No is simply 'not now' and 'definitely soon.' :)

Honestly, I was a bit nervous my first time driving on the other side. But it got easy pretty quick.
The novelty wears off pretty quick I think, driving is driving. It’s just when you swap and change between left and right things can get confusing.

Thanks for reading. It's a great destination, and I highly recommend it. Just be prepared for cold and rain if you're there in the winter.
Fab!
