Scotland is a land of snow-capped mountains, ancient forests and deep, mysterious lakes. It has a history and culture that stretches back nearly 9,000 years, from Skara Brae on the Northern Orkney islands, to Hadrian's wall in South, which once marked the end of the world to the Romans.

 

Amid Scotland's many spectacular castles at Eilean Donan, Stirling, or Dunnottar are Scotland's modern and forward-thinking cities. Edinburgh, where old meets new; Glasgow with its vibrant nightlife and welcoming atmosphere or Aberdeen, the energy capital of the north, sitting where the highlands meet the sea, in a suitably dramatic fashion.

 

More than just whiskey, bagpipes, tartan kilts (though all of those things too!), Scotland is the concept of adventure made into a small country and at just 78,000 km, it's very traveller-friendly.

 

Come see the famous highlands, dyed purple by the heather. Follow the historical whiskey trails, from the banks of the Clyde in Glasgow to deep out to sea, on islands dotted with picturesque villages.  Ski, Surf and Sunbathe - Sometimes all in one day!

And if you're lucky, you might even spot Nessie. If she's feeling up to it that day.
