Scotland will pleasantly amaze you with its unique color, nature and architectural structures. The most favorable period for visiting this country is May-September. But even at this time, you probably will not be able to avoid the rains. During the winter months, Scotland takes on a special charm. But during this period it gets dark quite early on the street.
One of the most famous sights of the country is Loch Ness. In the nearby village, you can visit a couple of themed exhibitions dedicated to the mysterious Loch Ness monster.
You will immediately notice his statue. It is believed that it is made in full size. Alduri Castle is located in the immediate vicinity of the lake, and you will also find the ruins of Urhard Castle, once majestic and beautiful. From there, you will have a picturesque view of the lake.
Be sure to visit Edinburgh. This is one of the most beautiful cities. It contains the Royal Mile Street, which has received the title of one of the most beautiful streets in the world. The city itself is unusually rich in museums and castles. Edinburgh Castle is the most famous castle in Scotland. It is also called the heart of the country.
I would like to separately note the Scottish city of Glasgow. It mixed many different architectural styles. You can also visit many museums in this city.
This country is famous for its islands. You can go to the Shetland Islands, where there is a marine park specializing in fur seals and walruses. On the same islands you can find cute miniature Shetland ponies.
The Orkney Islands are interesting for their history. They belonged to Norway for a long time. To the west is a village that is about 5,000 years old. You can also see the Standing Stones there. These are ancient stone blocks arranged in a circle. On the same islands there is a tomb built in 3000 BC.
The Hebrides are an archipelago made up of dozens of islands of various sizes. You will appreciate their unsurpassed beauty.
You will certainly be interested in the smallest island of the archipelago - Staffa. It has a unique geological formation - basalt columns.
Scotland is famous for its lamb and beef dishes, as well as fish, crustaceans and shellfish. "Haggis" - a traditional dish of Scottish cuisine, which is a beef tripe stuffed with offal and oatmeal. Also try another famous Scottish dish - Cullen Soup.
A great way to travel around Scotland is to rent a car.
