I can only vouch for the places I have lived in the UK and Ireland. The further north of England you go the more beautiful and wild it becomes. I lived in Yorkshire for two years when my regiment was the Training Regiment, it's a beautiful place with amazing bike roads. Cumbria is also very beautiful with amazing roads. Of course The Highlands has everything you could want, as long as you don't mind all four seasons in one day. Ireland is the same, Southern Ireland has a whole new road structure, but lots of narrow country roads are still to be had.

I'd love to someday take a tour of Europe on a motorcycle. Unless I hit the lottery, that will be a hard thing to accomplish.
I have family heritage that includes Scotland. The only documented lineage is from my dad's mother's side which is German. However, that side has been here since before the Revolutionary war. They went from the colonies to what is now Canada and came down into the upper peninsula of Michigan.
Why not do it in little steps Jimmy, try the UK first, then if you like it then Europe. You could see Scotland this way, let someone else take the strain.

Besides Fried Chicken and basketball, Bourbon is one of Kentucky's claim to fame. Here we have what is called the "Bourbon Trail" It is a nice way to spend a Saturday riding unless you like to partake too much of the samples, then I recommend someone drive you.
