The UK’s northernmost country and land of mountain wildernesses, glacial glens (valleys), lochs (lakes), bagpipes, kilts, haggis, whisky and exciting cultural cities. Scotland’s two largest cities are Edinburgh, the capital, with its iconic hilltop castle, and Glasgow, famed for its vibrant cultural scene.
In Scotland we recommend:
- Visiting the oldest crown jewels in the British Isles at Edinburgh Castle
- Tasting Scotch whiskey on a distillery tour
- Discovering St Andrews, ancient university town with stunning beaches and the home of golf
- Taking a ferry to the Isle of Skye or the Isle of Mull, just a short journey from the mainland
- Breathing the fresh air at Loch Lomand, the largest expanse of freshwater inland in the British Isles
