Experience Scotland

Scotland rewards those who venture off the beaten path. While iconic sites like Edinburgh Castle and Loch Ness are unmissable, some of the most memorable moments happen in quieter corners — like a private tour of a family-owned whisky distillery, a hidden glen only locals know, or an impromptu ceilidh in a village hall. The best way to experience Scotland is through a carefully curated, multi-region itinerary that blends cultural immersion with scenic tranquility. Private drivers and guides are highly recommended in rural areas, as they offer access to places not easily found on maps — and help navigate single-track roads common in the Highlands and islands. The weather is famously unpredictable, so layers and waterproofs are essential year-round, even in summer. Wildlife lovers will want to keep an eye out for red deer, puffins, and even dolphins along the coast.
While the currency is the British Pound (GBP), note that Scottish banknotes can look different from those in England — but are equally valid. And if you’re interested in a more exclusive stay, some of Scotland’s historic estates and castles can be booked entirely for private use — offering guests a rare and regal escape into the heart of the Highlands.
