Scotland is a popular tourist destination.   What makes it popular?  Well its a land of many contrasts - from the mountains in the interior to the rugged coastline and sandy beaches, from the rural villages to the cosmopolitan cities, from the historical castles and monuments to the fines modern architecture. But the truth is that what makes Scotland popular is the warmth of the welcome you will receive from the locals.

Scotland is a small country with an amazing amount of things to see and do!  At any time of the year you can find whatever you desire - culture, music, drink and food , history, sporting events to name but a few.  Rest assured that the Scots love to find a reason to get together and celebrate!!

In Scotland you will have many options for accommodation.  One of the most popular is Scotland bed and breakfasts.  The owners take you into their own homes and as well as a comfortable bed you will receive a traditional Scottish breakfast and a chance to interact with your Scottish hosts.

Scotland has abundant wildlife including golden eagles, sea eagles, swans, ospreys, whales, dolphins, otters and many more animals living in their natural habitat.There are also many wild flowers which are beautiful in the summer month. It rain a lot in Scotland but even in the rain it is a beautiful country. When you visit be prepared and bring clothes for all weathers. The rain and mist are a natural part of the landscape and contrasts well with bright glorious sunshine.
