Being on holiday in Scotland is a party for everyone. The country is known as rugged land with beautiful Lochs, unspoiled nature, very friendly people, many castles and a varied hilly landscape. Great for a tour of Scotland! For your most special holiday in Scotland, I have listed a number of tips.
Tour of Scotland
Scotland surprises me again and again. The country offers plenty of opportunities for both a short and a long trip. What I liked most about my holiday in Scotland was that you never have to be bored on the road. You constantly have the most beautiful views and sights. This makes traveling around Scotland really a party!
Holidays through the Scottish Borders
All regions in Scotland are definitely worth a visit, including the Scottish Borders. During your tour, visit Hadrians Wall, built by the Roman emperor Hadrian. At this wall, which is on the Unesco World Heritage List, you can see many remains of forts and you can also discover the history of this wall in the visitor centers. Then drive on to Edinburgh and visit Edinburgh Castle or go shopping for an afternoon. Of course you can also visit Glasgow.
The beauty of the Scottish Highlands
During our tour I was very impressed by the Highlands. An inspiring environment with a rich history. During your trip in Scotland by car, be sure to visit Glencoe and take a walk through the breathtaking landscape. In addition, in the middle of the Scottish Highlands, you will find the impressive Eilean Donan Castle. This castle is really a picture. Take a tour and you will learn everything about this ancient castle.
Scotland = whisky
Whisky and Scotland will often be heard going together in one sentence. The drink is of course the national pride of the Scots and that is why you will find dozens of whisky distilleries in Scotland. Tours are often also offered in the distilleries, so you can find out all the secrets behind the traditional Scotch Whiskies!
The start of your holiday in Scotland
Are you planning a visit to beautiful Scotland? Then I recommend the luxury cruise ferries from IJmuiden to Newcastle. Partly because of all the facilities on board, you hardly notice that you are traveling. This way you will arrive in Newcastle wonderfully rested. From Newcastle you can drive across the Scottish border within an hour. From the Netherlands the fastest route to Scotland!
