The beauty of the natural green lands and amazing rocky landscapes, make it very attractive for anyone who takes a trip or tour to the Scottish land. And also, the fascinating and steeped cities and villages full of history too. Truly there’s something for everyone in Scotland. Located just within the country of UK, the country is an awesome place to be. So, when you take your visit to Scotland, here are a few of the best things you can do over there.
Catch the fun at the kelpies
While most people think the Kelpies in Scotland are lame, tell me won’t you love to see gigantic horse heads sticking from the ground?
The very new attraction pays so much homage to the Scottish legends. The historical story of the Kelpies is that it is actually an evil Shape shifting water creature, which looks like a form of a horse, but mostly turns into the look of a human to lure people in.
The kelpie word is better to be called than saying or calling them people eating water-horse demons.
The Portree on the isle of the sky
The crown jewel of the Scottish Highlands is the Isle of the sky. On this island, you would find beautiful steep mountains, amazing villages, long historical architecture, as well as breath-taking cliffs. All in this beautiful place. The Portree harbour region is very much famous in the world for its beautiful buildings painted colorfully all lined up along the water.
You can access the island by car, train or even bus. In fact, all modes of transportation can get you to the island, though I would recommend you rent a vehicle to take you around the island, so you can be able to canvas the island at your own pace.
Take your visit to the beautiful Stirling castle
Thousands of Castles are found in Scotland, but, aside from that, one of the best worth considering a tour is the Stirling Castle Scotland. It also dominates the surrounding of the town, just like how the Edinburgh Castle also does to its city. The only difference between the Stirling Castle and Edinburgh Castle is that the Stirling castle is surrounded by farmlands, and absolutely you can’t miss it as you approach it. When you get there, you would discover the reason it was selected as the safety and defence in the war due to its imposing fortress standing on top of a cliff.
Don’t forget the Edinburgh castle
A nice place you can hover around, and take pictures to share with friends and family. This particular castle dominates central Edinburgh. The imposing wall of the Edinburgh Castle, just up in the center of the city, sits on top of an extinct volcano. Based on research, since at least the 2nd century it has been said that the castle has been occupying humans. This simply means that even then, the people of the old also have an idea of the coolest places to build, though this was picked for its strategic location obviously.
You can golf at the old course at St Andrew’s
Golf is a big deal in Scotland. This could as a reason for having a sense of pride, due to being originating the sport and also having it as one of the oldest courses. One thing that can’t be argued is the fact that Scotland is one of the countries that take more courses per person than any other country in the world, with the oldest course being the famous Old Course at St Andrew’s. And also, if you are a fan, it is definitely worth your visit to discover more when you get to the Golf course at St. Andrews.
The Isle of Staffa
One major reason everyone wants to visit this place and see it in person is because of the Basalt columns and cave. The island isn’t that easy to be inhabited so, one has to visit on a boat to enjoy your tour, from a nearby island. Guess what? The tour isn’t expensive, and I can assure you that they are 100% worth it.
The Glenfinnan viaduct on the west highland train line
This famous bridge will aid you all around the Scottish Highlands across all towns too. And if you are a harry potter fan, you are definitely going to think of it as if going on a journey to Hogwarts. You could come across various kinds of beautiful images in this region and also can go through it via a train.
Visiting the royal mile and Victoria Street
The beautiful Royal Mile is at the center of Edinburgh’s old town, and it connects also the Edinburgh castle and Holyrood palace too. Well in this city there is a non-stop activity going on surprisingly not only ranging from shops, eateries, pubs, and street performances. The most interesting and striking site to walk along is the St. Giles cathedral, which is the most cathedral known in the city. When you also take a walk on Victoria Street, the historic buildings will amaze you with their beautiful colors. Which is mostly said as the inspiration behind Harry Potter Diagon Alley by the author JK Rowling’s.
Have you heard Devil’s pulpit (Finnich glen)?
If you have heard of the name Devils pulpit, then why not check it out in the city of Scotland.
I would tell you that the pictures you’ve seen about this place haven’t done enough justice to the beauty of this place. There’s a lot of fun to experience once you get to the Devil’s pulpit itself. Getting down into the gorge is a harrowing experience though. But the hike isn’t bad. The site has been laid out with incredible steep steps, but you hold have to get your hands on the rope as you descend downwards. A beautiful stream flows inside the gorge, in between the red blood rock crayon walls.
The lake/loch ness
Another word for Lake is Loch in the Scottish word. The Loch Ness is really not occupied by dinosaur-like the water monster, and actually, the locals don’t think it is to. The talk of Nessie is just for fun, and an excuse to have you visit the beautiful, amazing lake. The hills, and highlands that are all surrounding this beautiful lake make the place look more scenery absolutely stunning. Just like other lakes, you can hike along the shores or even take a boat tour across the lakes. Another place to catch fun is to explore the Urquhart Castle, which was built along the shores.
