For this rainy day, it will be the seaside, a visit to a castle and a stay in an incredible hotel by the sea, admirably restored and with a breathtaking view. From the bay window, we were even able to admire a cetacean!

Below you will find everything you need to know to prepare your trip well and avoid certain hassles. In particular the expenses to be expected in terms of fuel, advice on mobile telephony or even local eating practices.

This is probably the least sexy part of the road trip, the one where you have to swallow the kilometers in order to get to the heart of...

York is a fascinating city, oscillating between Viking barbarities, Roman occupation, medieval witches and modern-day troubadours. The city offers an incredible mix of culture, entertainment, shopping and gastronomy. Bored in York? It's simply impossible.

We continue our climb towards the North, with the objective of the day, a dive into the history of the wars of independence in the dynamic city of St-Andrews.

Today, we decide to follow in the footsteps of the Picts, and their stones in particular. Pictish stones are very ancient tombstones, intended for Christian warriors of the Pictish aristocracy, a tribe from northern Scotland who lived until the end of the 800s AD. J.C.

Theme of the day, a visit to some filming locations from the Outlander series and a dive into the heart of the Highlands, its wild nature and its emblem, the red cows with long hair and impressive horns.

Home stretch to reach the far north of Scotland from the West Coast. This is where the ferries leave for the Orkney Islands, in particular. We are nearing the heart of our trip, Orkney.

After the unmissable photo at the end of the northern end, at John o'Groat, we head for Orkney with the ferry from Gills Bay Ferry Terminal to St Margareth's Hope. The boat trip lasts 1h30 and the waves are rather rough. If you are prone to seasickness, it is best to avoid! Even though the island is not big, two days are not too long to explore it. Restaurants are few in number. And seafood even more, they are mainly dedicated to export.

Qualified as one of the best road trips in the world, exploring all or part of the 830 kilometers of the North Cost 500 will remain etched in your memory. Inaugurated in 2015, it aims to bring a strong identity to this very isolated region of northern Scotland, where homes are often very far from each other, as well as to attract more and more tourists.

Big day of driving today, following in the footsteps of the McLeod Clan, to reach the fabulous Isle of Sky. A magnificent route, in the heart of a wild and powerful Scotland.

An exciting day awaits us today, we are going in search of dinosaur tracks! Here no detailed plan, little information, we will have to search for ourselves and obviously, the network works very poorly, which limits our searches on the internet.

Today's program is not too restrictive, it involves covering kilometers to change regions and... eating seafood, the local specialty!

Walking shoes and outdoor clothing are required today to explore the engraved rock stones and other prehistoric evidence in the Kilmartin region, the discoveries of which are described as being of international importance. The program for this day is rich and intense, it is better to get up early, be well organized or plan it over two days.

Today's theme is a ghost hunt in a haunted inn and a visit to a church with an architectural style like no other, a sort of cartography of Scottish particularities, where even rabbits are represented. You follow ?

Route : 334 kilometers, 4 hours to reach Granges-over-Sands from Inverarnan. You have to start the descent and consider the way back home... The road is good and easy to ride. It is mainly a fast lane and traffic is light.

An old dream to discover the stones of Stonehenge, admired many times on social networks, but never approached, despite several stays not very far from them. This time we stopped, and the least we can say is that we didn't regret it! It was magical, really.

Rather than choosing, like everyone else, the Dover-Calais ferry, whose crossing takes 1h30, we opted for that of the Brittany ferries company, which notably offers Portsmouth-Caen. The journey is longer, almost 7 hours, but the price is lower, the cruise (because really, it is one) is very nice and in the end, we saved several hours of driving, fatigue and fuel .

Ah, the return that comes with the sad return to reality... the most difficult part of the journey. As with the outward journey, it's about swallowing the kilometers without dragging, but it's also not forbidden to make a stopover on the way... or to have one or two problems...
