Visitor Guide to Scotland

There are stunning cities like Edinburgh and Glasgow full of history and culture and unique arts, crafts and food and drink to enjoy.

Scotland’s awe-inspiring countryside scattered with legendary whisky distilleries, ruined castles and magnificent manors. Golden eagles soar over craggy mountaintops, whales and dolphins breach off the north coast, and wild forests give cover to red squirrels and deer. The Scottish people are famously welcoming and happy to advise you on where to go for the freshest seafood or finest dram of whisky.
