That’s what I assumed. But, as long as the road isn’t too hazardous, I don’t mind cold drizzle and clouds.

Scotland has a beautiful loneliness no matter the time of year - but try to go sometime also when you can catch some Highland games.

“I don’t mind cold drizzle and clouds.”

You will. Another poster said it is dreary. I think that’s too weak a description. It’s more like depressing gloominess that will have you craving strong drink and sharp objects.

You might find that people drive a little faster on the open highway than we do...
Also, be very aware of where you are and where you are going. 30 years ago, my mother and I were in London, taking the bus, and got off in a neighborhood where all the men dressed in funny hats and robes were looking daggers at us. Not another woman in sight.We got out as fast as possible. There are neighborhoods you want to avoid.
The bed and breakfasts are a great way to meet and spend some time with English people.
