so if anyone has done this trip before some hints and pointers would be helpfull. id like to drive, and we are in Birmingham. driving is no problem for me but im guessing its going to mean a stop over near the top of Scotland.
the ultimate would be to go to Orkney and the surounding islands and Lewis. but i assume this is to hard to do? would we need 2 weeks to do that?
When were you planning on going? We were also planning a trip this year sometime when finances are looking a little less grim. We are only in sunny Wolves, maybe a car share would be helpful :)
