Scotland - Travel through Scotland and you'll discover a country rich in contrasts... from misty, atmospheric glens and magnificent rugged mountains to the lively modern city of Glasgow and the ancient capital, Edinburgh.

The story of those two cities says so much about the country itself. Historic Edinburgh, with its rich heritage of classic literature, architecture and the arts, its world famous festival. Holyrood Castle, Princes Street and King Arthurs Seat. And just a short drive away is the great city of Glasgow, built on the tough industrial tradition of the Clyde and now re-invented as one of the most dynamic 21st century centres of art & culture.

Take another short drive and you're on the beautiful banks of Loch Lomond... from where the lowlands rise breathtakingly to the majestic, brooding Highlands, so stunning spacious and atmospheric. and then there's the richly varied coastline, the romantic lochs and the windswept islands, each one a world of its own. There are so many short breaks waiting for you in Scotland.
