Scotland, the U.K.’s northernmost country, is a land of mountain wildernesses such as the Cairngorms and Western Highlands, interspersed with glacial glens (valleys) and lochs (lakes). Its major cities are Edinburgh, the capital, loomed over by its iconic castle, and Glasgow, famed for its vibrant cultural scene. Scotland is also the ‘home of golf’, typified by the 16th-century Old Course at St Andrews.
From the Highlands to the Lowlands and visiting the Island's as well. This tour will give you a true taste of Scotland.
Best of Scotland Holidays can custom build this tour to suit everyone and can be for either groups or individuals.
