but you definitely need to look into distances ... Scotland to Rome ... that's alot. do you want actually see something of europe or just city 1. seen. check. city 2. seen. check ... nighttrains and airplanes may be an option, but be aware that the LCC have very strict luggage policies ...
... so my advice is: less countries and try to build up (using a map and timetables.
european railway timetables can be found here:
http://www.bahn.com/i/view/DEU/en/index.shtml more information in the european rail forum here on flyertalk,too.
for flights, look at
www.skyscanner.net (this includes most LCC,too)
if you have any detailled questions - don't hesitate to come back. and for UK, Italy and France - please check the destination forums here on FT
