Holiday in Scotland
At the North West tip of Europe lies Scotland – one of the four countries that make up the UK. Scotland is roughly 300 miles from North to South and around 200 miles from East to West. Scotland is a beautiful country in which to take a holiday and, once you have done so, you will probably return time and time again. Scotland offers everything to the tourist – coastline, mountains, tranquillity, culture, good food and, most of all, a warm welcome.
There are airports at Glasgow Prestwick, Glasgow International, Inverness, Aberdeen and Edinburgh. The train journey from London to Edinburgh is around 5 hours so Scotland is very accessible.
Scottish Cities
Scotland’s capital city is Edinburgh which sits in perfect contrast to the tranquillity of the surrounding Lothians region. Edinburgh certainly has one of the loveliest cityscapes in the world making it the perfect city break destination. With Edinburgh Castle dominating the skyline, there is plenty to see and do here. Edinburgh seems to have the perfect balance between things traditional and contemporary. You can visit world class museums and galleries, or perhaps take a tour on an open top bus. The city hosts world famous festivals and has top class restaurants and bars as well as fabulous shopping.
Glasgow is the largest city in Scotland, situated about an hour’s drive West of Edinburgh and the city is famous for its architecture, museums, football and its friendly people. Elsewhere in Central Scotland you will never be far from a historical monument, castle or place to visit.
