What should I know about driving in Scotland?

Rules match the rest of the UK, but the drink-drive limit is lower: 50 mg per 100 ml of blood. On Highland roads, use passing places and watch for deer, especially at dusk.

Can I take the hire car on a ferry to the islands?

Some suppliers allow it, others restrict ferry travel or ask for notice. Check the rental terms before booking a crossing to Arran, Mull or the other islands.
