The towns of Perthshire, aside the River Tay should not be missed, nor should the Dunkeld cathedral.
If you're in Scotland with a loved one, Loch Lomond is famously romantic!
In the historic Kingdom of Fife there are ancient Scottish towns such as
St Andrews, the home of golf, and Kirkcaldy, which contains the
amazing Ravenscraig Castle. Alternatively, explore the Flemish
architecture in Culross.
But if golf is really your thing, you're in for a treat. Ayrshire and Arran
has the best courses Scotland has to offer, said to be the best in the
world. The quaint villages, impressive mountains and startling coastline
in Ayr will make it difficult to leave.
Scotland has some eccentric places too. Gretna Green is famous for
runaway lovers getting married, while Argyll, Bute and Stirling is unique
for where the lowland meet the highlands, and the cities of Stirling and
Oban are delightful there. Also, don't forget Scotland makes some of the
best whisky around; why not try and fit in a visit to one of the famous
scotch whisky distilleries in Argyll.
Meanwhile, Dumfries and Galloway is located on the cliffs of South Scotland, and bring your
binoculars as Ireland and the Isle of Man might be visible! The countryside, lochs, and beaches aresimply awesome.Visit the Grampian Highlands, with its great beaches, but be sure not to neglect its
Castles and Malt Whisky distilleries.
Yet who could miss Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands? For those familiar with our myths here in
Scotland, don't pass up a chance to see the Loch Ness monster! This location also provides easy
access by train to Kinlochbervie, a busy seaport.
Meanwhile along the Scottish Borders is Kelso, where the Adam Mansion is available, or the remains
of a Celtic fort stand proudly at Innerleithen.
You must not forget the beautiful, rugged, islands around mainland Scotland. A ferry will take you to
the Orkney Isles, where you can walk on charming small roads and enjoy the scenery. Stay in places
including Papa Westray, South Ronaldsay, Hoy the locals ensure you a hospitable welcome and will
make you feel right at home here in Scotland.
In the Shetland Isles – 120 miles off the north coast of Scotland – you can watch the women at work
on their knitting machines and perhaps return home with your own authentic sweater! Poems have
been written about the famous Shetland ponies that roam in Unst, in the north of the Shetland Isles.
So what do you do about accommodation on your visit to Scotland? Every place you visit is
likely to have a reasonable hotel, indeed holiday inns are located in most big towns and have every
modern amenity you'd want. Maybe you want to get out of the city for a while try the experience of a
grand country house hotel or a castle hotel.
Or perhaps you fancy a familyoriented, rustic setting for your stay? In which case Scotland offers bed
and breakfast establishments and guesthouses, as well as log cabins, chalets, and lodges. For those
who prefer to be selfsufficient, you can also find self catering cottages & self catering lodges, for
those on a tight budget, there are hostels, and for fans of the outdoors, there are camping and caravan
sites available.
