Top ten things to see in Scotland
1. Loch Ness and the Great Glen
A geological rift split the land from coast to coast, once dividing Scotland in two. Glaciers deepened the trench and the
result today is a long glen of steep-sided, wooded mountains and dark, mysterious lochs. Castles and forts abound,
bearing witness to the Great Glen's strategic importance and enhancing its dramatic grandeur with intrigue and nostalgia.
And, of course, there's the legendary Loch Ness monster, elusive but irrepressible, and still attracting scientific
interest -- keep that camera to hand.
2. Edinburgh Castle
Dominating the city's skyline as it has done for over 800 years, this castle is a national icon and, deservedly, the
country's most popular visitor attraction. Din Eidyn, the stronghold of Eidyn, from which Edinburgh takes its name,
was the vital possession in Scotland's wars. Varying roles as royal palace, barracks, prison and parliament have all
helped shape this castle, home to the Scottish crown jewels and the fabled Stone of Destiny.
3. Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum
Scotland's most visited collection is more popular than ever, since a 27.9 million pound refurbishment allowed even more
of its fascinating collection of art and artifacts to be seen. Some 8,000 works of major international significance are
displayed over three floors of gallery space. The diverse collection takes in world-wide ancient cultures, gives a
comprehensive view of European and Scottish art across the centuries, and provides insights into 20th-century Glasgow
life. Contrasting displays in open spaces demonstrate Kelvingrove's quirky sense of fun
4. Isle of Skye
The product of violent geographical upheavals, the misty isle is justly famed for its towering, ragged mountains
wild coastline. Add to these a colourful patchwork of crofts (farms), waterfalls, an exceptional whisky, a castle linked
to the fairy world and the historical romance of Bonnie Prince Charlie, and you find on Skye all the ingredients that
best symbolize the Highlands.
5. Glasgow Science Centre
This £75-million millennium project is a pure delight. The heart of the centre is the Science Mall, a glass-sided silver
crescent with three floors of hands-on exhibits, demonstrations and special-effect theatres. Adjacent to this is the
world's only revolving tower and an IMAX cinema projecting gigantic 3D films.
6. The Cairngorms
The highest mountain massif in the British Isles comprises a magnificent range of peaks, wild lochs and ancient forests,
as well as bird sanctuaries, nature reserves and sports amenities. It is a region of exceptional scenery and habitats
that have not been divided by roads. Activities take place on its fringe, but the heartland remains open only to those
who travel by foot or on skis. It is this relative isolation that makes it so appealing both for the wildlife that
inhabits the region and for the people who thrive on the testing terrain.
7.The Falkirk Wheel
An engineering design wonder, this huge structure was built to connect the
Union and Forth and Clyde Canals for east to west coast access for boats. The technical genius makes this a fascinating
sight, and it's a great day out for the whole family, adults and children alike.
8.Edinburgh Zoo
It has been open since 1913, and it's still one of the top Scottish attractions. Edinburgh Zoo gives you the opportunity
to meet over 1,000 animals, and is the most exciting wildlife attraction in Scotland.
Of all the things to see and do in Scotland, this is one of them. The highlight is the daily Penguin Parade.
9. Culzean Castle
Formerly a rather dull fortified tower house, Culzean (pronounced Cullane) was transformed by the architect Robert Adam
into a mansion of sumptuous proportions and elegance. The work began in 1777 and lasted almost 20 years, the Kennedy
family sparking little expense in the decoration and craftsmanship of their clifftop home. Culzean -- a masterpiece in a
land full of magnificent castles -- was gifted to the nation and fully restored in the 1970s. Its grounds became Scotland's
first public country park in 1969.
10.Glasgow Cathedral
In Scotland, round about AD550 St Mungo, the first Bishop of the British Kingdom of Strathclyde, founded a religious
community around a small church, in an area that was to become known as Glasgow. The present stone building was built
during the 13th century, on the site where He is believed to have been buried in AD612.

Scotland Travel: Dryburgh Abbey
Scotland Travel: Dryburgh Abbey.
Dryburgh Abbey, near Dryburgh on the banks of the River Tweed in the Scottish Borders, was nominally founded on 10 November (Martinmas) 1150 in an agreement between Hugh de Morville, Lord of Lauderdale and Constable of Scotland, and the Premonstratensian canons regular from Alnwick Abbey in Northumberland.[1] The arrival of the canons along with their first abbot, Roger, took place on 13 December 1152.[2]
It was burned by English troops in 1322, after which it was restored only to be again burned by Richard II in 1385, but it flourished in the fifteenth century. It was finally destroyed in 1544, briefly to survive until the Scottish Reformation, when it was given to the Earl of Mar by James VI of Scotland.
The 12th Earl of Buchan bought the land in 1786. Sir Walter Scott and Douglas Haig are buried in its grounds.
Scenes from Banff, Aberdeenshire, Scotland
Banff is a town in the Banff and Buchan area of Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Banff is situated on Banff Bay and faces the town of Macduff across the estuary of the River Deveron. Banff is a former burgh, and until 1975 was the county town of Banffshire.
Banff's first castle was built to repel Viking invaders and a charter of 1163 AD shows that Malcolm IV was living there at that time. During this period the town was a busy trading centre in the free hanse of Northern Scottish burghs, despite not having its own harbour until 1775. The first recorded Sheriff of Banff was Richard de Strathewan in 1264, and in 1372 Royal Burgh status was conferred by King Robert II. By the 15th century Banff was one of three principal towns exporting salmon to the continent of Europe, along with Aberdeen and Montrose.
Banff and Macduff are separated by the valley of the River Deveron. This unpredictable river was finally tamed by the seven arched bridge completed in 1779[5] by John Smeaton. An earlier bridge had been built in 1765, but was swept away in 1768. The old ferry was brought back into use, until it was lost in a flood in 1773.

Welcome aboard Balmoral
Balmoral is named after the Scottish residence of the British Royal Family, and provides guests with ample space in which to relax and share a memorable cruise experience with hundreds, not thousands, of fellow travellers. For more information, please visit:
Scotland: Exploring River Teith and Outlander [Doune] Castle
Our first outing in Scotland was to Doune Castle following a nice walk along the River Teith on a crisp morning with sheep in the fields and sun on the snow peaks around us. The castle was fantastic and has been used to film several works including Outlander (castle Leoch), Monty Python's and the Holy Grail, and the pilot for Game of Thrones. We used the audio guides to learn about Robert Stuart and Medieval castle life.
The castle can also be seen from the road when you cross the river.
