Beyond London: Scotland

Just a few hours by train from London, Scotland offers breathtaking scenery, beautiful lochs, magnificent castles and cultural cities.

Visit Edinburgh, with its impressive castle and characterful shopping streets. The world-famous Edinburgh Festival takes place every summer, featuring an enormous range of music, drama, comedy and street performance.

Glasgow is Scotland's largest city, where you'll discover a buzzing arts and music scene, impressive architecture and vibrant nightlife.

If you're into outdoor pursuits, Scotland is the ideal destination. Have a go at quad biking, mountain biking, canyoning, hiking, skiing, adventure tubing or even sphereing (rolling down a hill in a big ball).

Take time to explore some of the islands off the Scottish mainland. You can see prehistoric sites in Orkney, admire the amazing views in Skye, or visit the long sandy beaches of the Outer Hebrides.

Don't miss Scotland's beautiful lochs. Loch Ness, with its legendary Loch Ness Monster, is the most famous. Take a walk along its banks and you may even catch a glimpse of "Nessie"!
