About Scotland
Although part of the United Kingdom, Scotland maintains a distinct identity, even having a separate parliament.
Scotland is a relatively small and sparsely populated country; life in the towns is culturally rich. The Edinburgh Festival increases in popularity each year, and this city and Glasgow are interesting for historians. Not only were these seats of power in the past, but they were also once major industrial towns.
The countryside's mountains, lakes, and moorlands create a dramatic landscape home to many wildlife, including otters and eagles. Those with a keen eye may spot dolphins and even whales off the shores of the outer Hebrides.
Scotland is a perfect destination for lovers of the outdoors. It offers some 300 Munros for hiking, walking, riding, and even cycling!
Home to the haggis, Aberdeen Angus Beef and smoked salmon, gourmets delight in the region's gastronomy, not to mention the fine whiskies distilled here.
