How to Get Around Scotland
Probably the most relaxing and picturesque way to explore Scotland is by train. Promising some of the most exquisite views in the UK, you may already recognise the splendour of the Scottish Highlands from the Harry Potter films.
Scotland also has a number of regularly scheduled coach services, which are ideal for getting from A to B if you’re on a budget.
Otherwise, if you have a driving licence, we recommend hiring a car during your visit. Having your own set of wheels offers a level of independence that can’t be beaten. It perfectly complements the wild, free nature of the splendid Scottish mountains.
What Are the Must-Sees in Scotland?
Edinburgh should be high on the agenda for any first-time visitor here. The Scottish capital offers a mix of medieval architecture and Georgian townhouses, while stoic Edinburgh Castle stands stoic over the city as it has done since the 12th century.
About an hour west of Edinburgh is the industrial hub of Glasgow. In recent years, Glasgow has been pouring money into gentrification, transforming itself into a cultural hub. Institutions such as the Kelingrove Art Gallery and Museum can now be found here, as well as a number of boutique galleries.
Further north you’ll discover the coastal city of Inverness, which is close to the famous Loch Ness. Grab your camera – maybe you’ll spot Nessie herself emerging from the glassy deep!
Tips for Travelling in Scotland
Depending on which part of Scotland you’re visiting, the hardest part may be making sense of the local accent. While this doesn’t tend to pose much of a problem in Edinburgh (where the accent is softer) in more northerly regions (as well as in Glasgow) it can be a challenge for non-locals to decipher.
