Scotland
This lovely British country offers both natural beauty, in its spectacular mountain ranges and lochs, and an abundance of architecture, ancient history, and medieval sites. In the capital city of Edinburgh, visitors will find fantastic shopping opportunities on Princes Street, the 900-year-old Edinburgh Castle, and a wealth of churches and cathedrals – the most important of them all, St. Giles, the High Kirk of Edinburgh, boasts breathtaking Gothic architecture and a famous crown-topped steeple. Venture a short distance out of the city to discover the iconic Royal Yacht Britannia or visit Roslin, to see the remarkable Rosslyn Chapel. If you take a closer look at the surface, you will see it is almost entirely covered by intricate and inspiring hand-carvings. Loch Lomond & the Trossachs National Park is perfect for those who are searching for stunning beauty spots, and you can explore its history, sights, and wildlife on board the Loch cruise, venturing over the deepest waters with Ben Lomond towering above. Or, in the Highlands of Scotland, uncover the mysterious Black Isle, with an ancient history to explore and resident bottlenose dolphins to spot. With so many destinations to tick off your bucket list, why not start now with our range of Scotland holidays?

Go on holiday, not a research expedition
We've rounded up some of the very best sights to make planning your next adventure a breeze...
Edinburgh
Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo
It’s lights, kilts, and action at the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo! Set against Edinburgh Castle, this event brings out the big guns (literally and figuratively) with nearly 1,000 performers. It’s a show that promises to lift spirits and leave you dreaming in tartan!
Edinburgh Castle
Perched like a crown jewel on Scotland's skyline, Edinburgh Castle reigns supreme as the nation’s most iconic landmark. Guests can experience the daily boom of the One o’Clock Gun – talk about a ‘blast’! With such a storied past, this castle is the perfect blend of grandeur and gunpowder.
The Royal Yacht Britannia
Ahoy there! The Royal Yacht Britannia, having sailed the high seas for over 40 years, served the Royal Family like a loyal sea dog. Visitors can bask in the grandeur of the State Dining Room and sip tea while enjoying views from the Royal Deck Tea Room.
Glasgow
Glasgow Cathedral
Glasgow Cathedral is a medieval masterpiece that refuses to fade into history! Among its artefacts lies the tomb of St. Mungo, making it a hotspot for history buffs and curious wanderers alike. This cathedral is a must-see for anyone exploring Glasgow’s history!
George Square and the Merchant District
In George Square, statues of historic icons, including the legendary Sir Walter Scott, watch over Glasgow. Meanwhile, the Merchant District keeps things fresh with its bustling shops, eateries, and historic landmarks like the City Chambers and the old Glasgow Stock Exchange.
Botanic Gardens
A botanical oasis in the city’s West End, this garden boasts everything from tropical plants to perfectly prim roses! Combined with the glasshouses and a fragrant herb garden, it’s easy to see why this spot is a top pick for strolls and picnics.
Loch Lomond
Tarbet
Tarbet is a wee gem at Loch Lomond. With stunning views that’ll make visitors do a double-take and a past packed with tales, this pint-sized village is all about charm. Whether it’s hiking or splashing around, there’s no time for boredom here!
West Highland Line
The West Highland Line: Scotland’s very own moving postcard! Starting in Glasgow and ending in Mallaig, it passes by jaw-dropping sights from the views of Loch Lomond’s shimmering waters to the wild stretch of Rannoch Moor. Each mile is a masterpiece!
Trossachs National Park
Trossachs National Park is a whopping 1,800 square kilometres of Scotland’s natural playground! This park is a wild buffet of breathtaking mountains, sparkling lochs, and enchanted forests. Wildlife enthusiasts will be delighted by red deer strutting their stuff and ospreys zooming overhead.

Food and Drink
One of the best things about travelling? The food, of course! Every destination has its own favourites – the dishes locals swear by and visitors can’t stop talking about. To make things easier, we’ve picked out four must-try treats from this region, with a little flavour of what they’re all about.
So… which one’s making your mouth water?
Haggis
Scotland’s national dish may raise an eyebrow at first glance, but don’t judge this savoury pudding by its cover. Traditionally made with minced sheep’s pluck (that’s heart, liver and lungs), mixed with onion, oatmeal, suet and spices, haggis is hearty, peppery, and packed with flavour.
Scotch Whisky
With over 140 malt and grain distilleries dotted across its misty glens and rugged coastlines, Scotland isn’t just good at making whisky – it’s the world’s top producer. Known as Scotch and loved worldwide, it’s the true spirit of Scotland!
Skirlie
Don’t let the name fool you – Skirlie might sound a bit unusual, but this traditional Scottish side dish is pure comfort on a plate. Made from toasted oatmeal and onions fried up with fat (usually beef dripping or butter), it’s the perfect partner to meat and mash.
Cranachan
Cranachan is Scotland’s answer to a showstopping dessert – a creamy, crunchy, fruity delight that’s as bonnie as it is boozy. Traditionally made with toasted oats, raspberries, honey, and whipped cream, it’s finished off with a generous splash of Scotch whisky for that unmistakable Scottish flair.
