Happy Birthday!
Scotland. Best of tartan & whisky. So much more than it’s Highlands, some of the wildest places in the British Isles. Home to the tallest peaks & rarest wildlife in the UK. Islands are simply beautiful from Mull warmed by gulf-stream waters in summer to spring time sea-bird colonies of Shetland & Orkney. Lochs, castles, mountains, rough shores, lush isles are irresistible. For amazing nature therapy we can head to the hills at Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park.
Cities standout as creative hubs built on centuries of tradition. Edinburgh’s annual festivals serve up cultural delights – film, literature, theatre. It’s formidable fortress is perched atop Castle Rock, a volcanic plug with rocky cliffs overlooking the city. Glasgow’s art & music scenes are unmatched.
Scotland has 790 islands in 4 groups – Shetland, Orkney, Inner Hebrides & Outer Hebrides. Isle of Islay is the Queen of the Hebrides. Gorgeous, home to 8 distinct distilleries like Laphroaig & Bowmore. Isle of Skye – Inner Hebrides mountainous terrain, an excellent hiking destination. Iconic Iona & the Fingal’s Cave. Pre-historic sites, rugged landscapes, pristine beaches. Closer to Norway, the Northern Lights delight. Surreal, spectacular. Dramatic scenery.
