Your Fine Bonnie Scotland

Travel Scotland and find breathtaking Highland scenery awaits you on this vacation to beautiful Scotland. Your trip begins in Glasgow, Scotland’s largest city. From Glasgow, follow the “Bonnie Banks” of Loch Lomond and take the ferry for your overnight stay on the romantic Isle of Skye. Further into the remote Highlands, keep a look out for the mysterious Loch Ness monster as you make your way to Inverness.

See a sheepdog display and visit a whisky distillery. Enjoy pretty Braemar, home to the Royal Highland Games for over 900 years, then travel to St. Andrews, where you have the opportunity to hit a few golf balls. At Scone Palace, hear about the crowning of Scottish kings before enjoying two nights in Scotland’s capital of Edinburgh. Visit mighty Edinburgh Castle and the Queen’s Holyrood Palace, then tour this city at your own pace. A return to Glasgow via the New Lanark World Heritage Site completes your Scottish vacation experience.

Travel Scotland and witness Inverness was granted its city status in 2000. It is the prosperous hub of the Highlands, with an enviable location on the banks of the River Ness at the head of the Great Glen, making it an ideal base for exploring.

The thriving city of Inverness is crowned by a pink crenellated castle, and lavishly decorated with flowers. There are plenty of shops, places to eat and drink, peaceful areas close to the centre for relaxing, and a good variety of places to stay. Chill out by the river at lovely Ness Islands; shop for something tartan to take home; and by night, go out on the town. The city itself is small, compact and easy to get around.

Travel Scotland and find that there are also many attractions around the city: re-live one of Scotland's most famous battles at Culloden battlefield; marvel at the spectacle of a Highland Games - Inverness hosts one of the world's biggest; and even see a school of dolphins frolic in the nearby Moray Firth.
