if you can suffer the trudge up through england i can guarantee you will love it.
Agree with that. I was up there for best part of a week a couple of weeks back on the bike and visited Loch Lomond, Fort William, Inverness, John O'Groats, Brora, Falkirk, etc. but using the lesser roads including single track ones. What I did notice compared to England and Wales was that on the major roads such as the A9 that many kept well below the speed limit which I assume is due to the average speed cameras on those.
