Scotlands scenery is as varied as it is beautiful. Rugged mountain peaks sweep down to breathtaking lochs glistening in remote glens like Glen Affric near Inverness and Loch Trool in Galloway. A straggling coastline, with white sandy beaches, sheltered bays and rocky cliffs looks out to the remote islands of the Atlantic. To the south, the rolling hills of the Borders, lush lowland pastures and extensive woodlands present a softer beauty.
Scotlands capital, Edinburgh, is among the outstanding cities of the world, where the Medieval Old Town contrasts with the elegant Georgian New Town. Other towns, notably Glasgow, display a wealth of Victorian architecture. Everywhere youll find ancient castles and houses, prehistoric forts, stone circles and burial mounds, particularly at the Neolithic Heart of Orkney, Scotlands latest World Heritage Site.
Scotlands rich musical heritage has feet tapping to bagpipes, fiddles and accordions. The best Celtic music can be heard at either the Girvan Traditional Folk Festival in May or the Newcastleton Festival in July. Scotland is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. Play golf on the worlds most famous course at St Andrews. Go fishing, sailing, diving, or join the walkers, cyclists and climbers on the hills, in woodlands and on deserted country lanes. Finally, at the end of the day, relax with Scotlands greatest export, a dram of fine malt whisky.

- Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park
Escape the city to enjoy the fresh air of the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park. Opened in 2002, it is Scotland's first national park and the second largest in Britain, comprising 1865 square kilometres of rolling lowland to the south (near Glasgow) and high mountains to the north. The 350km boundary encloses some of Scotland's most beautiful countryside - lochs, rivers and forests, dramatic hills and beautiful skies, criss-crossed by footpaths, bridle paths and cycle tracks. - Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh
The 31-hectare Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh is open all year round, providing a perfect respite from the hustle and bustle of the city's busy streets. - Harvey Nichols
Harvey Nichols' pristine store in Edinburgh is located in St Andrews Square, and its five floors stock all the most fashionable and stylish clothes for men and women, along with all the best beauty products and accessories. There can be nothing better than spending a cold Scottish afternoon wandering this temple of chic consumerism. - Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art
The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art is situated in a grand 1820s building overlooking a vast landscaped lawn, to the west of Edinburgh's city centre. Its grounds are peppered with sculptures by the likes of Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth, with the lawn designed by famous architect Charles Jencks. The modern art collection inside is one of the finest in Scotland. - Glasgow Science Centre
A £75-million flagship millennium science attraction on the banks of the River Clyde, Glasgow Science Centre houses four floors of interactive exhibits, Scotland's first IMAX theatre and the Glasgow Tower.
