All with Philip's Navigator Scotland atlas (mostly 1:200,000; 1:100,000 from the border to the Forth-Clyde line) for a whopping £8. So if you're willing to go low-tech, it can be done.
Yes,me too!but...will be over that way in Oct(UK,Scotland & Eire) and like you, just used a road map as well,but....last time I was over (015,016) I was lucky enough to score a rental car with "shock horror" a sat Nav as standard!(after I had bought a satnav in Ealing,gave it to my cousin when I left though,I asked if I could "borrow" it back,he said well it is yours!Glad I can get my hands on one though,it does make life just a little easier.Scotland is not hard to navigate without one anyhow,especially the Outer Hebrides(my mother comes from Lewis.)Cheers
