4x4 hire in scotland
mud-club-matty:
i work for midland 4x4 sales part off the shb4x4 hire on a sat they willl hire out a defender 90/110 and u cn take them off road but u have to pay for damage
Matt_H:
thanks for that... not likely to go anywhere where damage was likley - at most gravel tracks I guess as I wont have any self recovery gear!
it'll prolly end up being a corsa though :(

Lanes, as you know them, don't really exisit up here Matt. :( The law is different to England & Wales so there's no RUPPs or BOATs and most of the lanes are on estate land.
There is the Corriarick Pass that has it's northern end near Fort Augustus but I wouldn't go taking a hire car over that!! 8-[
If you're thinking about hiring when you get up there then the nearest Land Rover dealer is MacRae & Dick in Inverness, could always try them.
Or here's a couple of places I found on Google:

As others have said, have a chat to Karloss and see if he can help. :wink:

I did have that opinion, but hadn't really looked into it.. I just kind of thought a 90 would be a nice plodding vehicle:-)
Are there any websites or other things I can read to find out about places where one can drive? (if they exist)
We are thinking of moving to Scotland one day anyway so I guess I really should double check the little thigs :)

Budgie:
There's not really any sites I know of. :(
Best thing to do, if you do move up here, is to join one of the clubs. They manage to get access to land and "pay'n'play" sites without too much of a problem.
Here on the island we've got the peat tracks (but they don't go very far), and a couple of estate tracks that you have to get permission to use and that's about it. :(
Have a look through this article on Scottish Land Rover Owners Club site about access in Scotland. :wink:
