The region Scotland
Scotland is unique. The scenery is breathtaking. There are high mountains, often covered in snow all year round, huge lochs (the Scottish name for lake) such as the famous Loch Ness, (the deepest loch in Scotland at 1.8km depth) where the infamous monster “Nessie” has apparently been spotted, lovely seaside resorts and interesting cities. No visit to Scotland is complete without a trip to Edinburgh to see the castle and historical buildings and aristocratic houses. The Edinburgh festival takes place at the end of August each year. The city of Glasgow was the European city of culture a few years ago. There is lots to see and do in this lively city too. Scotland is the home of golf and there are literally hundreds of golf courses which visitors can play on. Fishing and bird watching are also very popular. Water sports and boat trips are available on the Lochs. There are lots of castles to visit too. Connoisseurs of malt whiskey can follow the whiskey trail along the Spey Valley.

They are very proud of their national dress and you will see men and women wearing their tartan kilts for special occasions.
