Visit Michelin star restaurants, take in the spring cherry blossoms, book a walking tour or immerse yourself in the city’s museums and galleries. Don’t forget that Edinburgh is also home to many festivals including the largest arts festival in the world, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, which takes place in late summer. Plus, with easy access to woodland and beaches, there’s something for everyone in this picturesque and vibrant city.

Sitting on Scotland’s north east coast, Inverness is the gateway to the Highlands. Peaceful yet vibrant, this city boasts historical sites, an iconic castle and a lush botanical garden. Just a short stroll away from Inverness city centre, take a wander along Ness River where you can cross a number of Victorian bridges and weave through the tall pine tree lined paths on The Ness Islands. With dramatic mountain ranges and peaceful glens on the city’s doorstep, Inverness is ideal for wanderlusters. Or why not bag yourself a spot in one of the city’s many historic pubs and enjoy a wee dram of something local? 

Lively, colourful and full of character, Glasgow is one of Scotland’s most popular destinations and for good reason. With an electric live music and nightlife scene, plus striking architecture, over 90 parks and gardens, and a whole host of interesting museums and galleries to visit – including The Burrell Collection, an international art collection situated in the grounds of Pollock Country Park – Glasgow is one city you’ll want to visit before word well and truly gets out. Oh, and be sure to take an extra bag – Glasgow has some of the finest and most eclectic independent shops in the country. Happy shopping!
