Tours of Scotland, whether by car, train, or air, create lasting impressions on visitors. Legendary vistas and varieties of whisky bring people back for more thrilling encounters in the land of the Scots. The kingdom of Scotland had already become a powerful sovereign state by the Early Middle Ages, and in the 1700s, the union of England and Scotland created the United Kingdom of Great Britain. Scotland’s historical, cultural, and natural wonders are awe-inspiring. Travelers can expect intriguing and exciting escapades in the Scottish Highlands, secluded castles, and Loch Ness (home of the Loch Ness monster). The national identity of the Scots remains strong, and they are ever proud of the land they call home. Create new memories with friends and loved ones.
