Discover The Joy in the Journey
'It's not the destination, it's the journey' goes the old adage. It may be a cliché, but in Scotland there's no truer statement. Getting from A to B is not a chore to be done as quickly as possible - it's a chance for you to relax and reflect as gorgeous landscapes pass before your eyes.
Tip: Public transport can save you some money and it's a much more sustainable option.
