Around Scotland -                ~the Scottish Regions tell us about themselves~

  This  is The Section where the various and varied Scottish regions tell you why a trip to Scotland is not complete without a visit to see their beautiful area...

       ...Scotland is a country of widely differing landscapes – from cosmopolitan cities to breathtaking coastal and mountain views, from lakelands (Lochs) to flat, rolling pastures. Steeped in history, there are very few places you will visit that do not have a tale to tell and a ruined (or perfectly preserved, in many cases) building or artefact to confirm what transpired at this place. Palaces, Castles, Battlefields, Abbeys and Churches…Scotland is overflowing with these…and much, much more. 

 Every region of Scotland has something to offer the visitor – and they are so happy to see visitors that we have no doubt you will find the welcome warm and generous – wherever you go in this green land....

  ...A trip toGlasgow, once a heavily industrialised city, will surprise you with its vast areas of parkland and countryside - cosmopolitan shopping and eating/drinking, combined with the famous ‘Glesga’ warmth and wit. Edinburgh, a beautiful city by the coast – the Castle dominating the city and so many wonderful things to see and do. I could go on an on (no! I hear you plead) about the other major cities and regions of Scotland, but I hope you get the picture.

 Now,  let the Regions, and the Districts, tell you themselves why you really should visit them. Take a look at their pages; perhaps use the link to their own websites, where much more information will be readily available...

 ...Maybe there's something you never knew about,waiting for you... 

...to discover it.

1) Strathclyde ; 2) Dumfries & Galloway; 3) Borders ; 4) Lothian ; 5) Central ; 6) Fife ; 7) Tayside ; 8) Grampian ; 9) Highland; 10) Western Isles. Orkney ; Shetland. (the latter two are not on this map, but we all know where they are; if not, they are on the map at the top of this page)
