Royal Mile, Edinburgh

Buy traditional Scottish Tartan

With only 5.2 million people living in Scotland, those who travel to Scotland tell us it is a life changing experience. Scottish people are all descendants from clans, making the history of Scotland fascinating. It seems that we all know friends who have a Scottish family name derived from a real Scottish clan. Even today, the iconic Tartan kilts of Scottish clans are still worn as traditional dress by Scotsmen on ceremonious days such as weddings and birthdays. Walk down Royal Mile and buy yourself a tartan sweater, shirt or dress to take home with you. A 10 minute drive away is the harborside of Leith where the Royal Yacht Brittania is stationed and hugely popular with travelers to Edinburgh.


Admire the majestic Edinburgh Castle

As you wander through the city, the Edinburgh Castle is always in sight, perched high on the hill. If you are a movie fan, you can enjoy a meal at the pub where Chariots of Fire was filmed. The Café Royal Circle Bar on West Register Street in Edinburgh has fine oak rooms and stained glass windows. You can also visit the National Wallace Monument in Stirling. Be sure to watch the Braveheart movie starring Mel Gibson before you go!


Travel from Edinburgh to the Scottish Highlands

A short drive of 2-3 hours from Edinburgh, you will find the famed Scottish Highlands. Visit Urquhart Castle on the shores of Loch Ness before traveling to Inverness and quaint towns and expansive mountains of the Scottish Highlands. You can check out Fort George as well where the battle of Culloden took place. The beautiful countryside, glens and lochs separating the small towns, make driving an excellent choice when traveling to Scotland.
