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...

The
Regions -their names, and where they
are...
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)
The Western Isles, Orkney, and Shetland, are designated as "Island Areas" rather than
"regions" (don't ask me, ask them).
