Take The High Road and The Low Road
In the far north of the UK sits Scotland, a country with a proud nation and fascinating history. From the wilderness of the Highlands with its mountains, Lochs and glens to the vibrant and historical cities, Scotland is a remarkable place to explore. Escorted coach tours that include Scotland will give you an excellent opportunity to get the best out of this glorious land. Edinburgh is the Scottish capital and offers the visitor a vast amount of sights to see. Notably, the iconic Edinburgh Castle standing on its rocky hill is a sight to behold. In the summer you can take in the wonderful spectacle of the Edinburgh Military Tattoo or soak up the extraordinary atmosphere of the Edinburgh Festival. Be sure to catch one of the Edinburgh Bus Tours to get the most out of your visit and find out some little known facts about this amazing place. Further up the coast is St Andrews, a magnificent town steeped in history. Once there, you will find Blackfriars Chapel, the Chapel of St Mary on the Rock, St Andrews Castle, St Andrews Cathedral, the medieval city gate of West Port and many, many more historic sites. Again, book a guided tour to get the most out of it.

Unleash The Monster
Travel towards Inverness to find the deep waters of Loch Ness and its mysterious monster. Loch Ness is the second deepest loch in Scotland, deep enough to hide the biggest monster.

Why not take a local sightseeing tour and cruise on Loch Ness to embrace the outstanding beauty.
It's a Kind of Magic
Another popular visitor attraction is Fort William which is located in the Ben Nevis region.

This mountain is extremely popular and attracts thousands of climbers a year, including those doing the Three Peaks Challenge. You can also find the Glenfinnan Viaduct in this region, a splendid railway bridge made famous by the Harry Potter films. Countless famous movies and television shows are filmed in Scotland from Braveheart starring Mel Gibson, to the current smash hit TV series Outlander, based on the books by Diana Gabaldon.
