ABOUT SCOTLANDScotland is commonly known as “the land of the Thistle and the Heather”. The country is a haven of environmental cleanliness, beauty and romance. It’s these qualities that make it one of the most interesting countries in the world. The sheer range of attractions and activities packed into such a small and accessible country is another main reason why Scotland is such a hugely popular tourist destination. Whether you’d prefer to go fishing at Loch Lomond, shopping in Glasgow or simply a nice stroll around one of the many well looked after parks, there's always something to see or do that will make your trip all the more memorable. Of course there are activities that can only be done in Scotland, such as the Highland Games, so why not try something different! In Edinburgh you will find its extraordinary castle, and the well-known International Festival and Fringe which runs every August. In Glasgow you will find Victorian cityscape which is outstandingly beautiful, as are its 19 public museums where entry is free. Year round both cities are host to world-class festivals and events which celebrate Scotland’s traditional and contemporary culture. To experience Scotland is to spend your days admiring the gorgeous shores from Loch Lomond to loch Ness; to savour a dram of a rare single malt; to discover the old battle grounds of historic Scottish leaders. Although no trip to Scotland would be complete without experiencing the local “banter” and enjoying the friendly Scottish public.
