Scotland

A road-trip that will leave you with the mind amazed, the soul
stirred and the heart missing.

Trip Overview

Embarq’s Self Drive Tour of Scotland will take you through the most magical mountain passes, rugged coastlines and stunning islands. Drive the zippy Range Rover Sport on the famous North Coast 500.

The high point of the tour will be a drive around and a day at one of the mostromantic destinations in the world – The Isle of Skye (meaning ‘Cloud Island’). Thisdramatic coastline surrounds some of the most exceptional and varied sceneries- one of the rarest in the world. The history, the legends, the scenery, the weather,the music and the poetry combine to produce something extraordinary. It hasbeen justly said that Isle of Skye is a conclusive proof that, sometimes, God wasjust showing off.

Spend time with the locals, visit some world-famous single malt distilleries, stay in luxurious Scottish castles and soak in the culture. Come and hear Scotland narrate a story like never-before.
