I have another question for our summer trip to Scotland. While we usually book in advance a couple of accomodations and we have day trips from there, this time we decided to do some wandering around the Northwestern Scotland without booking rooms, to maximize our time and add flexibility. My plan would be to drive around, find the local Tourist Office and ask for available guesthouses or B&B, then after one or two days move on. My question is: would it feasible in July (almost top season) and in Scotland? I did it in other European countries before, so I guess it will be all right for the UK too.

And, now that I'm in it, what are your experiences with off-hour returns of car rentals? Many thanks and regards
