Where should I go, and what should I do?

Scotland has a habit of delivering on its classic images. In some parts ruined castles really do perch on every other hilltop, in summer the glens do indeed turn purple with heather, and you’ll be unlucky not to catch sight of a breathless bagpiper while you’re up here. Sure, the roads can be wiggly and the drizzle can be oppressive, but there’s something intoxicating about these patriotic, Tolkien-esque lands that will have you yearning for more.

Adaptable user-friendly advice and guidance

The guide contains honest reviews, interesting background information about the culture, food, and advice on the best restaurants and pubs to visit.

The full-color maps and information about local transport will also make it easy to get around.

In addition, there is also a useful language section, so you can ask directions to your hotel and order your dinner in local language.
