We've rounded up some of the very best sights to make planning your next adventure a breeze...
Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo
It’s lights, kilts, and action at the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo! Set against Edinburgh Castle, this event brings out the big guns (literally and figuratively) with nearly 1,000 performers. It’s a show that promises to lift spirits and leave you dreaming in tartan!
Edinburgh Castle
Perched like a crown jewel on Scotland's skyline, Edinburgh Castle reigns supreme as the nation’s most iconic landmark. Guests can experience the daily boom of the One o’Clock Gun – talk about a ‘blast’! With such a storied past, this castle is the perfect blend of grandeur and gunpowder.
The Royal Yacht Britannia
Ahoy there! The Royal Yacht Britannia, having sailed the high seas for over 40 years, served the Royal Family like a loyal sea dog. Visitors can bask in the grandeur of the State Dining Room and sip tea while enjoying views from the Royal Deck Tea Room.
One of the best things about travelling? The food, of course! Every destination has its own favourites – the dishes locals swear by and visitors can’t stop talking about. To make things easier, we’ve picked out four must-try treats from this region, with a little flavour of what they’re all about.
So… which one’s making your mouth water?
Scotland’s national dish may raise an eyebrow at first glance, but don’t judge this savoury pudding by its cover. Traditionally made with minced sheep’s pluck (that’s heart, liver and lungs), mixed with onion, oatmeal, suet and spices, haggis is hearty, peppery, and packed with flavour.
With over 140 malt and grain distilleries dotted across its misty glens and rugged coastlines, Scotland isn’t just good at making whisky – it’s the world’s top producer. Known as Scotch and loved worldwide, it’s the true spirit of Scotland!
Don’t let the name fool you – Skirlie might sound a bit unusual, but this traditional Scottish side dish is pure comfort on a plate. Made from toasted oatmeal and onions fried up with fat (usually beef dripping or butter), it’s the perfect partner to meat and mash.
Cranachan is Scotland’s answer to a showstopping dessert – a creamy, crunchy, fruity delight that’s as bonnie as it is boozy. Traditionally made with toasted oats, raspberries, honey, and whipped cream, it’s finished off with a generous splash of Scotch whisky for that unmistakable Scottish flair.
