Scotland is a fabulous destination. The cities of Edinburgh, Glasgow and Dundee each provide a perfect base for exploration of the surrounding country. Scotland is well known for its mountainous and beautiful scenery, but no visit to Scotland is complete without a trip to some of its beautiful islands - the Hebrides, Orkney and Shetland groups are well worth a visit. Scotland is also noted for its lochs. Much of the west coast of the country, where glaciers created jagged fjords (lochs) is truly wild and spectacular, but make sure you leave time to explore the cobbled streets of Edinburgh and the fast changing city of Glasgow.
