Wonderingwhere to escape to when the summer sun gets too intense? If you're all aboutthat sun-kissed glow, Southern Europe is your go-to. But if you're more intoaction and adventure, head north. Even better, why not opt for the UK's cool,breezy summer vibes? With your Firsty eSIM, you can stay effortlesslyconnected, even in the remote corners of the Scottish Highlands.
Scotland in summer is a vibe, especially if you hit up the legendary North Coast 500. This epic route takes you along Scotland's jaw-dropping coastlines. But here's a tip: don't do the whole thing. The best part? The west coast up to the northerngem of Ullapool. You can stick around and mingle with tourists or take a right turn into the Highlands for some next-level adventures.
On the way, check out the many peninsulas with stunning, secluded beaches. Imagine this: clear ocean waters, you on a deserted beach, maybe even skinny dipping (or kitesurfing in a wetsuit, since the sea's a cool 12-15°C). The real gems are off the beaten North Coast 500, so be sure to detour for the truly epic spots.
If you're a hardcore 'Nordic' type, keep driving until you reach the northern tip ofScotland: John O' Groats. And while you're there, hop on the ferry to the unique Orkney Islands. Check out the Old Man of Hoy, famous for its legendary climbs in the late '60s by some of the UK's top climbers.
But don't sleep on the south of Scotland and England's stunning west coast. Summer here rarely sees temps over 20°C, making it a paradise for ocean lovers. Think 15°Cwaters, white sandy beaches, and a blue ocean that stretches forever.
Skip the overhyped northern Highlands and the mythical Scottish adventures—unless you fancy battling swarms of tiny midges. For a real vacay, the West Coast is whereit's at!

For mountain vibes, head to the Lake District or Snowdonia in Wales. These spots offer epic climbing adventures, canyoning, hiking, and mountain biking galore.But honestly, the best places are along the rugged coast, with dreamy beaches from Bristol to Blackpool.
