Why Scotland?
Scotland
is a country graced with expanses of pristine countryside
and sophisticated cities. The dramatic landscapes are steeped
in history and romance, with ruined castles standing sentinel over
heather-cloaked valleys, shining lochs, and salmon-filled rivers.
Edinburgh,
voted the UK's best city in Condé Nast Reader's Travel Awards,
is a beautiful and ancient city in which you will find chic modern
hotels amongst the cobbled streets and gothic architecture. The magnificent
castle watches over the medieval Old Town that each August is transformed
into a stage for the
Edinburgh International Arts Festival.
When
you want to escape from city life, head for the Highlands.
One of Europes last great wildernesses, the mountains, seacliffs,
glens and lochs hide a multitude of castles, churches and historic
homesteads.
Scotland
is a paradise for outdoor
enthusiasts. Whether you like it gentle or extreme, Scotland
has it all. Go fishing
in the rivers, sailing
around Argyll or pony trekking
through the Highlands amidst the fragrant heather. Tee off on the
world class golf courses,
or for the more adventurous, Scotland has long been a top destination
for rock and mountain climbers.
But
it is not only outdoor delights that await you in Scotland. At the
end of your day enjoy a warm Scottish welcome in our inns and hotels.
Savour the single
