Places to visit

Your best Scotland trip will depend on what it is you’re looking for. There are seven cities in Scotland. Every single one of them has their place in history, and they have their own unique flavour of Scottish culture. If you’re looking for a lot of attractions, great restaurants and a lively nightlife, one of our cities would be your ideal choice.

Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Inverness, Stirling, Dundee and Perth. I’ve been to all of them, and I’ve covered them on this site.

If that’s not your thing, there are many beautiful, quieter places with fabulous scenery, ideal for outdoor activities and wildlife spotting.

Scottish culture is much more than haggis, kilts and bagpipes:

Kilt & Bagpipes

You may want to learn more about our Scottish Culture if you’re planning a trip to Scotland. I’ll bet the first things you think of are haggis, kilts and bagpipes. Totally understandable, because a big attraction for our visitors is the Highland Games, an iconic part of Scottish culture. If that’s your thing, check the Highland Games calendar for this year, so you can arrange your trip accordingly.

But there’s more to Scottish culture. It could be worth getting to grips with some of our Old Scottish Sayings so you’ll know what we are talking about. Mind you, our Scottish Humour is sure to put a smile on your face. And you’re guaranteed a warm welcome.
