The southwest most point and the northmost point are tourist attractions. The eastmost point is a small marker in an industrial estate next to the gasworks in Lowestoft.

The Scottish Highlands are generally not very accessible and you'll often be charged extra postage by Ebay vendors. There's a single good road that runs north from Edinburgh.
