Scotland
Trip Planning & Itineraries
Honed by long competition with its English neighbors, buoyant Scotland has survived encroachment, brass-monkey weather and invasion by stand-up comedians. Its people are feisty, opinionated and fiercely loyal. The countryside is a beautiful tumble of raw mountain peaks and deep glassy lakes.
Like a fine single malt, Scotland is a connoisseur's delight - an intoxicating blend of stunning scenery and sophisticated cities, of salt-tanged sea air and dark, peaty waters, of wry humor and generous hospitality.

Suggested Itineraries: Scotland
Loch Ness is Britain's largest body of fresh water. Its rugged hills climb steeply from the loch's dark, 330m-deep waters. It holds more water than all the lakes in England and Wales combined. However, most visitors here are interested in one thing: Nessie-spotting. See if you can see the famous long-necked beastie for yourself.
From USD $64.82
