Whisky-soaked nightlife meets days walking the spectacular highlands
Hello! Welcome to Scotland. It’s a land of lochs, lairds and legends, with all the rugged outdoors and ancient history a visitor could ever want. But there’s another side to Scotland too, with cities like Dundee and Glasgow boasting thriving art and music scenes and, increasingly, modern culinary delights. For history lovers, Edinburgh is an obvious base, and the Royal Mile and the Castle that it leads to won’t disappoint. There are also a slew of modern museums, particularly Glasgow’s Riverside Transport Museum, which is housed in a building designed by the award winning Zaha Hadid. And though you may not get good weather in Scotland (okay, you definitely won’t get good weather in Scotland), you’re bound to meet new people. The Scottish will welcome you, and be glad to show you their country — you may need to get used to the accent, though, and the sense of humour. If you crave misty mountains to get lost in, followed by hearty feasts by the fire, VISIT SCOTLAND!
