"Fieries is very safe with low crime rates. Violent crime is rare, but petty theft can occur in tourist areas. Keep valuables out of sight in parked cars. Roads can be narrow and winding; drive cautiously, especially at night. Sheep and livestock may wander onto roads. Always lock accommodation doors. Solo travellers, including women, generally feel safe, but use common sense after dark."

Tipping is appreciated but not mandatory: 10-15% in restaurants, round up taxi fares, and leave small change for pub service. Pub etiquette: order at the bar, not at tables. Dress is casual but neat; bring a raincoat and layers. Avoid discussing religion or politics unless initiated. Respect quiet hours in rural areas after 10 PM."
