Islands of Scotland. After being on the Isle of Skye already twice now, I can tell that it is one of the most beautiful places in Europe. June is a good time for visiting.

Road trip around Isle of Skye
Road trip to Isle of Skye. Surprise upon arrival late evening and later driving around the island was the fact that almost all roads are very narrow with many passing places along the way.
The gate to Scottish Highlands Stirling
Stirling, established as a royal city in 1130 and known as the coronation place of the Scottish kings, is in central Scotland, 25 miles from Glasgow.
Portavadie
There is also a ferry terminal in Portavadie, from where you can quickly, in about 15 minutes, reach the port of Tarbet on the next peninsula.
Road network in Scotland
The road network in Scotland is very well developed and virtually all, even the smallest, roads are paved. There should be no rush when you travel around Scotland by car.
Capital of Scotland Edinburgh
Edinburgh Castle is on an ancient volcano and can be seen from a distance before you even enter the city. The top of the volcano has been inhabited since the Iron Age, but the royal castle has been located there since the 12th century.
Glasgow
Glasgow is Scotland’s largest city, the fourth largest in the UK and the 27th largest in Europe. More than 600,000 people live in Glasgow today.
