It will certainly be very different landscape to Holland that’s for sure! Make sure you pack some smidge for the midges. Make sure you head up over the Bealach na Ba and have a whisky at the Pub in Applecross:)
 
We also have an Orange twinair but haven't been around Scotland in it yet. Brilliantly appropriate colour for Dutch folk! There are lots of single track roads with passing places, be courteous and pull into them to let motorbikes pass you and thing about reversing to the closest one if you come across something big coming the other way. The far North of Scotland is an amazing place, you'll have a fabulous time.

I Upgraded the brakes, just in case.
New coated TRW discs and pads, braided, teflon brakelines front and rear, and Castrol React DOT 4 brake fluid.
And I changed the original, dull horn, for a Hella two tone horn....!!
Mountains, here we come...!!
 
Just came back, drove almost 4000km (2500mls), TwinAir had to work hard sometimes in the mountains, oilconsumption: 0.2L, or almost nothing.
Great Roadtrip, can recommend, and the Panda is 100% up to the task.
