From Scotland's Capital to the Highlands

Edinburgh might be where your Scottish adventure begins, but there’s a whole country waiting to be explored beyond the city.

From the forests and lochs of Highland Perthshire to the dramatic mountains of Glencoe and the winding roads of the west coast, some of Scotland’s most memorable journeys are only a few hours away.

With Nomadic Scotland, you can start your road trip in a Land Rover Defender, with vehicle delivery available at Edinburgh Airport or another pre-arranged location.

We’ll help you plan your route, find wonderful places to stay and discover Scotland at your own pace.

Testimonials

The entire experience, from start to end was highly professional. Sandy was nothing short of phenomenal in communication prior to our trip, picking us up at Perth train station and running through all aspects of the vehicle. The Defender we hired exceeded the authentic Scottish experience we were seeking. Having driven throughout Scotland and seeing similar rental cars (Defenders, Discovery etc) it was clear that Nomadic Scotland’s are very well kept. Our car was squeaky clean and mechanics well functioning. Definitely the most well kept we saw on the roads. Treat yourself to an unforgettable experience with Nomadic – we’ll be coming back!
