Scotland Highlights
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?

Food and Drink
Haggis
Haggis, the national dish of Scotland, is a savoury pudding often served with neeps (mashed turnip) and tatties (mashed potato). It is traditionally comprised of minced sheep’s pluck (heart, liver and lungs), onion, oatmeal, suet, herbs and seasonings and, while it isn’t the best-looking dish, it is one of the best tasting!
Skirlie
Skirlie is a traditional savoury oat dish from Scotland, sometimes referred to as Scottish stuffing. Made with fried oatmeal and onions, this old recipe is surprisingly delicious and comforting, and is often served alongside meat and mash.
Cranachan
The traditional Scottish dessert Cranachan has many versions and varieties, but typically includes oatmeal, fresh raspberries, sugar, double cream, and honey. Scottish whisky is added for a kick of flavour and, combined with the sharp fruit taste, makes for a unique and tasty pudding.
Scotch Whisky
Home to over 140 malt and grain distilleries, Scotland is the biggest producer of whisky in the world. Try Scotch whisky, the national drink of Scotland, single malt, single grain or blended – the choice is yours!
