Give way (yield) to the right when entering LEFT into a roundabout (we have only 2 in Houston) and get into the correct lane so that it spits you out onto the desired road. In the Highlands you will be driving on a lot of single-lane roads, which have aneurisms called "lay-bys". You pull over to your LEFT to let on-coming traffic pass. My only concern when driving the single-lane roads was not seeing possible on-coming traffic when there was a "summit" (hill) in the road. Before I left, I printed off the Scottish (British?) road signs to get familiar with the differences. As a lefty, I found driving on the left quick to get used to.
That is a good idea about printing out the signs and getting familiar with the practices of driving across the pond. Initially I had not considered driving, but the more I hear from others the more I think this might be a good option as long as I do my homework.
