The 5 reasons to go to Scotland!

Trips to Scotland hide behind them a wonderful opportunity to enjoy cultural activities and sublime landscapes, Scotland is one of the most interesting countries in Europe. Its climate, less warm than its inhabitants, keeps the masses of tourists away and allows lovers of adventure and culture to make getaways enjoying a privileged tranquility, thus offering the possibility of making an authentic and culturally exotic trip, to very short distance from home.

Discover an amazing culture

Like Ireland, Scotland is one of the few regions that resisted the Roman invasion, which, with its technical innovations, also caused the cultures present in the conquered territories to gradually disappear. In Scotland, therefore, you will have the privilege of discovering a still preserved Celtic culture, with its kilts and tartan representing the different clans, of course, but also with the bagpipes and Celtic sports that pay tribute to traditional sports, like the tree trunk toss, the rope game, and the haggis toss contest, if you're lucky.

Taste surprising cuisine

Among the most surprising and puzzling dishes, haggis (stuffed sheep's stomach) is very popular. However, Scotland has many other dishes to discover. These include "fish and chips" (which can also be eaten in England), oatcakes (oatmeal cakes), Aberdeen Angus beef, cooked potato stews such as tattie cones or even Scotch broth and Cullen skink (traditional soups). All this, of course, without forgetting the whiskey.

Go on an adventure

For lovers of nature trips and wild hiking, Scotland is an exceptional place. In the Highlands, in the Hebrides or on the Isle of Skye, routes on foot or horseback are popular, but the roads are never heavily traveled. Ideal for if you like the calm and authenticity of the hiking trails you can see lochs and castles, all in a ghostly wasteland.

Meet a warm town

The legend that says that Anglo-Saxons are cold and reserved stops at Hadrian's wall. During a trip to Scotland you will see the hospitality and warmth of its inhabitants. The Scots are a people proud of their unique culture and it is often mistakenly associated with that of other Anglo-Norman Islanders. Scots retain their own cultural traits, and are eager to share them.

Admire magical landscapes

The geography will make Scotland a perfect destination for you, if you have a romantic soul. Loch Ness, where Nessie lives, is just one example of hundreds of lochs (typical lakes). The mysterious moorland of the Highlands and the misty mountains, called Munros, will make you lose yourself in a medieval and Arthurian dream as you contemplate the beauty of the wild landscapes.
