We had a grand time. Our tour guide (who was Stephen, I think) was very well-informed. He had grown up in the country just an hour from York and knew everything about the area: how the moors got heather, when and where important events happened, where the best pastries and fish and chips can be found and more. Whitby was interesting and the steam train took us back to a different era or maybe to a wizardly realm.
We did not rent a car during our week stay in Scotland/ England. Instead we took trains between cities and day tours from our stops in Edinburgh and York.
