Scotland is fairly easy to drive around in. Edinburgh is the toughest spot because of the narrow roads and it's busy etc. You get used to driving on the other side of the road quickly, but the one instinct that doesn't go away is to dodge right in a panic, which causes confusion for other drivers when you do it. Make sure you're confident with a manual transmission, because that's probably what you're going to get. There's lots of roundabouts, so learn the rules on those... and finally there's the double-mini-roundabout... I encountered only one of these and had a complete WTF moment.
