Scenery and landscapes
Feel connected to nature in Scotland's great outdoors. From rugged coastlines to majestic mountains, the wild and unspoiled landscapes will stay with you forever and leave you feeling rejuvenated. Enjoy walking in Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park or the Cairngorms National Park, and discover the wildlife in national nature reserves. Springtime offers longer and brighter days and is the perfect time to visit Scotland’s many parks and gardens. See an array of beautiful colours from flowers and plants coming into bloom, from historic houses and castles to Botanic Gardens and sculpture parks like Jupiter Artland.
Enchanting legends
Scotland has a rich cultural heritage that is fascinating to uncover. Find out more about the myths and legends on a visit to the Kelpies or the Loch Ness Centre. Excite your curiosity by exploring castles, from medieval marvels to mysterious ruins and fairytale settlings, like Caerlaverock Castle in Dumfries or Crathes Castle in Aberdeenshire. Discover historic abbeys like Dunfermline and Melrose, and delve into the past at significant sites like the heart of Neolithic Orkney. Take an island trip to the Outer Hebrides and discover Scotland's Gaelic heritage. Or island hop from the Isle of Mull to Iona and experience the serenity of Iona Abbey, one of the world's most sacred sites.
Walk in your ancestors' footsteps
For those with Scottish ancestry, there's no better way to feel truly connected with your Scottish roots than visiting Scotland. From historic battlefields and standing stones steeped in myth to enchanting castles, towns, and villages, you can hear the stories, folklore, and traditions that shaped Scotland's history, culture, and people. Explore regions across the country associated with clan and family surnames and experience the music, whiskies, and produce that your ancestors enjoyed. Many attractions in Scotland provide fascinating insight into how your ancestors lived throughout the generations, like The Tenement House in Glasgow, an authentic time-capsule of life in the 20th century.
