From misty Highlands to stately Edinburgh, Scotland is proud of its unique setting, culture and history. The wild beauty is surpassed only by the warmth, friendliness and charm of the locals.
Watch some of the world's best theatre, opera and music at the annual Edinburgh Festival. Walk the Royal Mile between historic Holyrood Palace and Edinburgh Castle or stroll along the Georgian terraces of elegant New Town. Then head to nearby Glasgow, transformed from a gritty industrial capital into a vibrant, cosmopolitan city with a distinctly forward-looking vibe.
See the famous lochs and heather-covered moors of the Highlands or the rugged Isle of Skye to feel the romance and legend of Scotland. Sample single malt whiskeys by the fire of a country pub. Play a round of golf at St Andrew's or go salmon fishing in the Tweed or the Tay.
To avoid changing planes in London, take a charter flight directly into Glasgow. Train service between cities and major towns in excellent, but rent a car if you want to explore the Highlands.
