  Oh bonnie Scotland. :-)
  
  If you have the budget, then I would definitely hire a car. Whist the train and bus service are pretty good, you have a limited time and quite a large area to cover, so a car will make it more flexible for you.
  
  In the more remote areas, such as in the Highlands, there may only be one local bus a day, so you could spend a lot of time trying to get around.

  If you plan to stay in the south of Scotland you can youse the bus or the train. When you plan your holiday´s in the Highlands it´s mutch better you hire a care.
  
  Because there not so many conections between the villages. And you spend a lot of time with waiting.
  
  I stey 1 month in Scotland,and I have a care. This was the best decision for me. over 9 years ago
