Description by the author

From the night boat in Rosyth to the ferry in Oban

The disadvantage of the night boat between Zeebrugge and Rosyth is to keep you exactly eighteen hours on board. You could spend much of this time on your motorbike borrowing the Ostend-Dover trunk, but then you would have to cross all over England and you would arrive in Edinburgh very tired. Arriving in Rosyth, you can immediately begin your Scottish journey.
Few people travel without wanting to increase their knowledge. The rule also applies to bikers. That's why we will offer you some interesting stops: the monument to William Wallace - the Scots are particularly proud of their heroes -, Loch Lomond, the Rest and Be Thankful Pass - which you will certainly not forget -, the Loch Fyne Oyster Bar for its oysters, Ohan and the Isle of Mull.
