There are some in pine forests in Scotland.but not easy to see.

Not the only place, there is a red squirrel that comes past the caravan I am staying in near Alston in Cumbria, it is the first I have ever seen in England and yes they are much nicer than the grey tree rats usually seen.
The roads and scenery are fantastic around here to boot.

History wise, there's so much to see. The UK's not huge compared to other countries (yes, I know the UK's not a country!) so there's lots of choice.

I agree with this completely and would suggest using Mitchelin maps and following the green, scenic routes.
The one sticking point could be motorcycle insurance as I get the impression it is difficult for non-EU citizens to get it in the UK, I am sure it is possible but look into it first. You might also want to consider a plan B if the summer is as bad as this year which could involve a trip to Europe which is only a short hop away where it has been a lot nicer.
