Great road trips are about many things, good company, good food, good times and a reliable set of wheels that will last the journey. “Life is only half lived if you have never got in a car and driven off on the open road, going where it takes you.” The summer months are the best time to plan your road-trip, because who wouldn’t want to avoid this humidity and scorching temperatures.

A truly memorable driving road doesn’t need to be fast or always picture perfect but has to sear a memory in your mind that lasts a lifetime. Imagine the sound of bagpipers, smooth whisky, men frocking up in tartan kilts, adding to the already jaw-dropping surroundings. That’s Scotland for you, the most beautiful country in the world for 2019, according to expert travel publication Rough Guides.

A land of lochs, castles, wildlife and epic landscapes, Scotland has all the essentialingredients for a road-trip, incredible attractions, ever-changing scenery, and welcoming towns and villages. Every corner presents captivating vistas to admire from the driver’s seat or the comfort of your passenger seat. So, if you are looking for a breathtaking road-trip in U.K., then Scotland should be your first port of call.

We have planned the itinerary for our ‘Royal Scottish Drive’ in such a way that will take you from Edinburgh, the Athens of the North to John o’ Groats that lies on Great Britain’s northeastern tip and everywhere in between. Marvel at the stunning Isle of Skye, the magnificent landscapes of the Highlands and the mountain wilderness of Cairngorms National Park. Sample Scotch whisky during a distillery tour. Explore the majestic city of Edinburgh and learn how to play the bagpipes and pull off traditional kilts with confidence.

Taking the luxury and comfort quotient up a notch, you will be self-driving the all-new Land Rover Discovery 5 and testing its excellent off-road capabilities. Once you drive the Discovery 5 in the highlands of Scotland, the odds are pretty good that you’d never wish to come back home.

This expedition is perfect if you want the real flavour of Scotland. Get ready to experience coastlines and castles, beaches and breweries, cathedrals and cashmere, whisky and walks (and much, much more) as you self-drive your way through this beautiful country.
