Scotland: tourism in the land of legends, lochs and castles

From the Highlands to the Lowlands, Scotland has a staggering variety of landscapes spread over a relatively small space. Certainly the glens, purple heather and craggy castles are plentiful, but tourism here is also about thriving art and museum scenes and delicious cuisine.

  • Follow the Whisky Trail with a Scottish Whisky Tour

    By PARM PARMAR / 24 June 2016
    Whether you’re a Scotch whisky aficionado or not, you’re bound to enjoy the beauty and diversity of the various whisky regions in Scotland. Actually no visit to this picturesque country would be complete without a Scottish whisky tour to at least one or two whisky distilleries – and to sample something that is as integral to the Scots as Guinness beer is to the Irish. All of Scotland’s distilleries take great pride in their heritage and the raw ingredients used to produce the unique character of their individual whiskies.

  • Scottish Architecture Shines in Glasgow

    By DREW GOUGH / 11 September 2015
    The Lighthouse, and Mackintosh’s work, are logical starting points for a Scottish architecture tour in Glasgow.

  • Things to Do in Edinburgh: Enjoy a Beer at One of Scotland’s Independent Breweries

    By DREW GOUGH / 17 March 2015
    Even for a country of narrow roads, the roads here are too narrow. There’s no paved shoulder, no shoulder to speak of at all—only an ancient moss-covered wall to one side and a loch to the other. And this, the A82 highway running north from Glasgow through Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, is considered a main road here. It makes for nervous driving, but it’s well worth the jumps and starts: Scotland’s stark, stunning mountains, and its abandoned castles and dense forests, are all just a little ways outside of its cities. If you survive the drive and are looking for things to do in Edinburgh, you deserve a good, stiff drink.
