It's well known that visitors love Scotland for our colourful history, our culture and great attractions, especially Our Castles, and the many lochs and mountains that surround our beautiful countryside. Not to mention the great museums and architecture, the world famous events that take place in our capital, Edinburgh, and the Fantastic Nightlife and shopping in our other Scottish cities. You'll find plenty to do when you discover Scotland.
You may ask why I decided to build a website about Scotland. Well, the answer to that is ... it's something I'm passionate about! I know, there
are many excellent websites on the subject already, but I love this place.

At the risk of not doing my country sufficient justice, I will try my best to introduce you to the true flavour of Scottish Culture, history & traditions.
What I will be writing about is an individual account of everything the country has to offer, (well, okay, make that almost everything) but it is based on my personal experiences, and, of course, a lifetime of living here.
By the time you've read some of the pages on this site, you will discover Scotland, and you'll have the answers to some of the most common questions about the country ...... questions like ......
Why do visitors return year after year?
- Do they come to trace their ancestors?
- To relax amidst glorious scenery?
- Is our colourful and romantic history the main attraction?
- Is it the excellent terrain for outdoor activities?
- A varied programme of cultural events?
- Perhaps it's the secrets of our castles?
Actually, they come for all of these reasons, and many more.
The fact is they keep coming back, and they fall in love with the place, so it's not really surprising that holidays in Scotland have become so popular.
