Freebie Friday: A Free Rail Day in Scotland This Summer

The Britrail Freedom of Scotland Railpass usually comes in at $225 for four days. But those who book before May 10 will get a free extra day at that price. Handily, the pass covers not just rail but also ferries and a number of bus links.

As with all rail passes, its important to really think out your travel plans before booking. Sometimes these offers can be an excellent deal (I saved quite a bit with a Polish rail pass last summer), other times you'll end up paying more for the convenience of only having to pack one ticket.

All of the details on the deal (and there's a pricier version that offers a free day too, with more travel days possible), are at this link.

Try some haggis for me if you go!
