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.
  • Edinburgh Zoo
    Edinburgh is recognised as one of the world's leading zoos; it gives its animals the highest quality care, and in doing so provides its visitors with the best possible day out.
  • Cairngorms National Park
    One of Britain's newest national parks, Cairngorms National Park is country's largest, totalling an impressive 3800 square kilometres (that's 1400 square miles) across Scotland's Highlands and Grampian regions. Officially opened in September 2003 and with its administrative centre close to its most northern point, in Grantown-on-Spey, the park is home to not only a quarter of Scotland's native woodland, but also a quarter of the Britain's endangered species, and the biggest continuous swathe of near-natural vegetation in the country.
  • Edinburgh Castle
    Britain's second most popular tourist attraction, Edinburgh Castle dominates the city and is the site for the annual Edinburgh Military Tattoo and the traditional end-of-festival fireworks at the Edinburgh International Festival, both in August. But the museums, crown jewels and historic battlements are worth visiting all year round.
  • 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.
  • Sharmanka Kinetic Theatre
    The Sharmanka Kinetic Theatre, home to a unique exhibition of Kinemats (kinetic sculptures), is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Glasgow. Tiny carved figures and pieces of old scrap dance to haunting music and synchronised lighting, as machinery and shadows come alive.
