Scotland overflows with iconic images – tartan and bagpipes, whisky and thistles. Their origins may be lost in the mists of time but even today they speak of a proud and unique culture. Born in a land with a robust, sometimes wild climate, the Scots are feisty independent people who treasure their heritage which includes Neolithic farmers of Skara Brae in the far-flung northern isles of Orkney, the Romans, legendary Robert the Bruce and that tragic monarch: Mary, Queen of Scots. Edinburgh is an ideal place to begin to explore Scotland’s past and maybe to start tracing your own Scottish roots. But the true essence of this land lies among the heather and lochs of the highlands and islands. There’s a taste of it in Speyside, home to more than half Scotland’s famed distilleries, or on legendary golf courses such as St Andrews. Scotland’s considered the home of golf and with more than 550 courses there’s always somewhere challenging to tee-off. Gaelic culture still thrives in the isles of the Outer Hebrides with its pristine beaches; pilgrims flock to Iona; and the Isle of Skye still breathes romance. The remote Shetland Isles are home to a million birds, including puffins, and are steeped in Viking lore. Outside the cities are fairytale castles with turrets and towers, sites still echoing with bloody moments from Scottish history such as Glencoe, Culloden and Loch Ness. Stand among the ramparts of Urquhart Castle, gaze at the waves and you too may come to believe a monster still lurks in the loch’s depths.
