Renowned as one of the most scenic and historic countries in the
world, Scotland is a fascinating place of beauty and tradition.
Scotland's
craggy mountains, dark lochs, misty moorland, ancient castles
and wild forests and glens co-exist with a wealth of culture that
extends from the temperate southern Borders to the isolated northern
islands of Orkney and Shetland. The
main cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow are exciting places to visit.
Historical Edinburgh, Scotland's capital, is transformed into
a bustling
circus of worldwide culture during its internationally famous
annual arts festival.
Both the Highlands
in the north and the Trossachs in central Scotland have an abundance
of mountain peaks, forested hillsides, caves, glens, waterfalls
and lochs. Loch Ness and Loch Lomond are the most famous Scottish
lochs, but there are many more besides. Ben Nevis, Britain's highest
mountain, is situated in the stunning Cairngorms, while the jagged
Cuillin mountains rising above the clouds on the island of Skye
are also spectacular, while Scotland's coastal towns and cities
all have a unique character. The windy, granite city of Aberdeen,
located near the many whisky distilleries of Speyside, is large
and industrial. Further south is the pretty university town of
St Andrews, world famous for its golf courses and home to Scotland's
oldest university.

I was surprised to see that Scotland only has 2 regions. I can thoroughly recommend the Northern Highlands as a superb location for trekking. I was surprised to see that Scotland only has 2 regions. I can thoroughly recommend the Northern Highlands as a superb location for trekking. |
