Edinburgh, United Kingdom

Let the Scottish adventure begin! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Upon arrival at the airport, head over to Green Motion car rental to pick up your vehicle. The car comes equipped with a tent, a box with basic food supplies for the week, a table, chairs, and dining utensils. Once you have received all the necessary items, it's time to set off. Remember, in Scotland, you drive on the left side of the road and the steering wheel is on the right side. It might take some time to get used to shifting gears with your left hand 😅
