Reasons to Visit Scotland

If you have never visited Scotland, there are some good reasons to think about doing so.
Scotland is a country steeped in history and is renowned for its beautiful scenery. From north to south you will find places of interest to vist, from castles to museums to whisky distilleries. The weather can be very unpredictable but if you plan to visit between April and September, you may enjoy some pleasant sunshine. Or maybe not.
Friendly People
Many visitors to Scotland comment on the friendliness of the people in contrast to their visits to other parts of Britain which shall remain nameless. The country has its fair share of crime, particularly in the city areas, but assuming you do not wander around at night alone, you should enjoy a trouble-free visit. You will find people to be helpful and friendly in the disposition and very down to earth.
Beautiful Scenery
The Highlands are outstanding for scenery and well worth a visit. The mountains are majestic and the panoramic views that open up to you are breathtaking. There is so much to see on a round trip of Scotland with the opportunity to vist castles and distilleries which are dotted around the entire country.
Home of Golf
Scotland is famous as the Home of Golf with the main attraction for visitors being the Old Course at St Andrews. The area of St Andrews is a very pleasant place to visit and all the more so if you have a keen interest in golf as there are five main courses in one area.
Scotland is a place that will not disappoint should you decide to visit. With so many sights to see and historical background, it has so much to offer that more than makes up for the bad weather experienced throughout the year.

“Fair share of crime”…..dont make me laugh. There is no law here, bring a stab proof vest – Scotland is the most violent small country in Europe. I have an american friend who came to vist, one trip to a friendly local tavern and he’d been stabbed, two months into his visit he tried to kill himself because he hated the place so much and couldn’t get an early flight home.
You’d be insane to step out of acar in this country.
