Touring the west highlands provided spectacular views and the beaches at Scourie and Oldshoremore well worth a visit. Closer to Inverness we visited Glen Affric Nature Reserve. Great walks an fantastic views. Make sure not to miss the magnificent Plodda Falls.

The Highlands are an amazing location, and having a car allows you to visit at your own pace. We didn't have any troubles finding petrol stations, and driving there was a great experience (although be prepared for the weather: it rained heavily during our stay!)
Drive calmly: in narrow roads there are plenty of passing places where you can allow cars to overtake you, and other drivers are usually patient so you shouldn't feel any pressure from them.

The problem for Europeans driving in Scotland is not which side to stay on, but the width of certain roads (we were only in the Highlands) which was often a bit scary when encountering oncoming cars. Otherwise, we found the Scots to be courteous, patient drivers. Distances were a bit deceptive as they are in miles, not kilometers, and driving times on the various websites are based on the official speed limits, which were probably true for the Scots who knew the roads, but not for the tourists who made up most of the traffic.

Inverness not interesting; I went to Inverness only for flight from Luton, before trip to Orkney and Shetland; rented car for drive from Inverness to Thurso and took car by ferry from Thurso to Orkney, used car in Orkney, left it in Orkney while flew to Shetland. Returned flight to Orkney, picked up car to return by ferry to mainland (Inverness).
