Scotland

Scotland is sated with mystic, ancient legends and romance. The Scottish ruined castles from the past are of particular interest for the visitors interested in history and cultural tourism. The two ancient cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow, which boast Victorian splendor, are now amid Europe's most dynamic industrial and cultural centers. Not less attractive is the picturesque countryside of Scotland, with its Highlands, majestic misty mountains, deep lochs, rivers full of salmon, and of course some of the best golf courses!
Among tourists, Scotland is mostly popular for its spectacular scenery, but it has also a rich historical and cultural heritage, along with variety of activities on offer. Scotland’s landscape is very diverse - from the rugged peaks sweep to the calm waters of the lochs. Glen Affric and Loch Trool are of particular interest. This land also boasts diverse coastline, with many sandy beaches, nestled down bays and rocky cliffs, overlooking the islands in the Atlantic. To the south, the hills of the Borders, green pastures and large forests present a softer landscape.
Edinburgh is an outstanding city, combining the medieval Old Town with the elegant Georgian New Town and along with Glasgow, which is famous for its Victorian architecture are important cultural centers. In Scotland everywhere one can find ancient castles, prehistoric forts and ruins interesting to be explored, especially at the Neolithic Heart of Orkney, which is Scotland’s newest UNESCO listed World Heritage Site.
Scotland is a paradise for those who love outdoor activities - play golf on popular course such as St Andrews, go hiking, fishing, diving, cycling, sailing or climb on the hills among the spectacular landscape!
