A Must visit Scottish City, Town, village, Beach and Castle.
Thursday, May 8th, 2008
As we all know at the moment the pound is in terminal decline against the Euro, for us Brits it gives us a perfect chance to visit some fantastic places within our own shores. It also gives our European neighbours a chance to get a real cheap trip to Scotland!
Maybe the weather at times can be a wee bit unpredictable, but if you come prepared for all the possibilities, which the Scottish weather gods may throw at you, it will be a wonderful experience.
Edinburgh - city: This is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, no doubt about it. Edinburgh offers a vast range of exciting things to do and places to see, whether you want to go sightseeing, historic and ghostly buildings galore, museums, galleries, excellent shopping. The choice of bars, restaurants, pubs, cafes and live music venues is truly amazing.
Dunkeld - Town: This is one of my favourite towns in the whole of Scotland. It is located in Perthshire at the foot of densely wooded hills. Not only is Dunkeld a beautiful town with wonderfully restored old buildings and a rich heritage; it is also a fantastic base for exploring the many other great tourist destinations within Scotland.
Plocton - Village: One of the most picturesque villages in Scotland. It is located in the North Western Highlands of Scotland, an incomparable location on a sheltered bay of Loch Carron and surrounded by a bowl of hills. Nothing beats sitting outside at one of the bars, looking at the beautiful views.
Balmedie Beach - Beach: Balmedie beach and country park lies about 8 miles north of Aberdeen, It stretches for 14 miles and has one numerous awards over the years. You will find long and wide stretches of clean and golden sand, which is bordered by grassy sand dunes. A fantastic place to go and relax when the sun is shining!
Dunottar Castle - Castle: Located on a stunning and dramatic position sitting on top of a cliff top overlooking the wild North Sea. Located a few miles drive from the town of Stonehaven in Aberdeenshire, it is one of Scotland’s most impressive ruined castles. It has had a turbulent history and been graced by the presence of such notable historic figures such as William Wallace, Mary Queen of Scots and King Charles II to name a few.
These are just some of my personal recommendations, there are literally hundreds of places worthy of visiting all over Scotland.
