Scotland

Visiting Scotland is much affected by the seasons, but all seasons bring their different opportunities. Scotland's cities and towns have a range of events and attractions open throughout the year, which we shall be highlighting through local links on each of our entries. Edinburgh, Glasgow and other cities have excellent public transport systems and attractions, many easily accessible on foot but otherwise Scotland's major draw is the beautiful scenery to be experienced outside of the major cities. Scotland has an unparalleled combination of natural beauty, fascinating history and areas of idyllic peacefulness.
