Scotland




Embarq's Self Drive Tour of Scotland will take you through the most magical mountain passes, rugged coastlines and stunning islands. Drive the zippy Nissan Qashqai (or similar) on the famous North Coast 500.
The high point of the tour will be a drive around and a day at one of the most romantic destinations in the world
The Isle of Skye (meaning Cloud Island).
This dramatic 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 has been justly said that Isle of Skye is a conclusive proof that, sometimes, God was just 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.
