An Incredible Scottish Heritage
From the Borders to the Shetland Islands, the Scottish landscape is dotted with castles, palaces, noble residences, abbeys, keeps, standing stones, and prehistoric sites. Whether they are in the city, lost in the moorland, perched on a cliff, in the middle of a park or on a loch, all bear witness to the historical grandeur of this wonderful country. Iconic monuments such as Edinburgh Castle, Stirling Castle, Abbotsford, or Floors Castle embody vastness and nobility. History can be found at every corner of the street, on every hill and in every valley, where monuments number in the thousands. Archaeology enthusiasts will head to the Orkney Islands, a true Mecca for Prehistory lovers.
Discover Vibrant Cities in Scotland
Edinburgh and Glasgow are world-class cities, known for their lively student population, major sporting events, popular festivals, and vibrant nightlife. Their museums are at the forefront of creativity, ensuring you're never bored, whether you're there for a few days or a lifetime. Edinburgh is an architectural gem, where the Georgian New Town meets the medieval Old Town. Its historic monuments are as plentiful as elegance dominates every district. Its dual UNESCO classification, as a World Heritage site and a City of Literature, attests to its immense value and influence. Victorian Glasgow has a more industrial background, which gives it a thriving popular culture and one of the best nightlife scenes in Britain. Its West End is unmissable for the splendor of its buildings, such as the Kelvingrove Museum or the city's university.
A Journey to the Heart of Vibrant Traditions
Over the centuries, Scotland has developed a strong culture that its people have preserved and enriched. The different migrations, battles, national heroes, tumultuous history, thinkers, and geniuses of this small country have shaped its legends, stories, well-established traditions, and unique identity. Ghosts, goblins, monsters, and beliefs are part of the daily example, but we must not forget its great authors like Walter Scott, Robert Louis Stevenson, or Robert Burns.
The Gaelic language, although it was never spoken throughout the entire country and has few speakers, still holds a lively influence. It can be found in place names and the daily life of Scots, particularly in the Outer Hebrides. Generally speaking, it is during Ceilidhs, Highland Games, or festivals like the Fringe where one fully grasps the scope of the national cultural richness.
Activities to Do All Year Round
Hiking, fishing, golf, skiing, cycling, sailing, horse riding, surfing, climbing: Scotland is a true open-air playground. If you're passionate about any of these activities or simply want to try them out, you'll surely find what you're looking for here. Under no circumstances should you miss the opportunity to take some nature walks during your stay. Routes of all levels and durations are available, regardless of your age, fitness level, or interests.
A Journey Through a Fascinating Land
British cuisine often gets a bad reputation, but don't be fooled: Scotland is a paradise for food lovers. The culinary scene in major cities rivals that of other metropolises in the kingdom. Edinburgh is home to numerous Michelin-starred chefs, and establishments offering quality, tasty local food are multiplying every day. The focus is on seafood and land produce unique to each region, whether in the Highlands, Lowlands, or the islands. How can we not also mention the two quintessential Scottish drinks: whisky and beer!
