I'm afraid you're missing the point. We all know that Holyhead, Fishguard as well as Stranraer in Scotland all are possible places where to build a ferry port into Ireland somewhere in the distant future. The problem is that none of them are anywhere near a connecting point on the ETS map. So Callipso is quite right when he points out that at the moment the only connection from Britain to Ireland that is already built is Liverpool (which imho is not THE gateway into Ireland for trucks in real life). So in order for Ireland to be feasible we have to wait until British Isle rebuilding has come to at least one of mentioned ports.
I understand where your coming from, Holyhead isn't far South from Liverpool when viewed on a map, and Fishguard isn't too far from Cardiff and Swansea which are already ingame

Lets put it like this, there is no Holyhead or Fishguard in the game yet. That is where we are coming from. They are on a map and yes they exist in real life, what we are saying is there is yet to be places in the game with those names. The only place that is currently a port that could connect to Ireland that is in the game and is functional is Liverpool. Anything else will come after the developers add the cities/towns to the game.

Is the Scottish Highlands ever gonna be extended with added cities such as Perth, Dundee, Peterhead, Fraserburgh, Elgin, Aviemore, Kyle of Lochalsh, Ullapool and Durness? I would also love to see the rebuild of SCS cities in Scotland such as Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen, here are some of my suggestions for Northern Scotland:

Perhaps, although I reckon all those cities aren't going to be added due to the map scale. But, you never know, wonders can happen :)

Will motorways be changed at some point? thing I hate with ETS2 is losing a lane to a slip road some motorways do do this... most don't though.

Also no A road has this road sign on it https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/10 ... 30.svg.png a green sign like this don't exist at all here in the UK.

Just a few suggestions I can think of. and thanks for all the work done so far!!

one or two cities could be ports to reach the outer Hebrides islands. that would be best imo

Awesome! :D I've always hated how unrealistic the SCS roads in the UK are... I'm so glad to see an improvement! :)
