Vacation in the UK - Scotland
Nope, Scotland is not just men in skirts. Scotland is an absolutely astoundingly beautiful country, with a huge history and a diverse culture and heritage.
Scotland even has a national drink. If you guessed whisky, you are correct! Many people associate this libation with Scotland, and for good reason. Scots have been making their own whisky for hundreds of years and to this day it produces a great deal of revenues in Scotland, nearly more than any other manufactures in the country.
While you are sampling the great drinks of Scotland, you must also experiment with the foods of the country as well. If you wish to sample the traditional Scottish fare, of course Haggis and Blood Pudding should be at the top of the list. The Scots lived off the land up until relatively recently, so traditional meals are what most people would consider comfort foods. Stews, soups, meat, and vegetables are what one can expect - but all are prepared with excellent ingredients as the Scots pride themselves in utilizing fresh items that they have readily available to them.
Do not fret though, because food has come a long way in Scotland, and their delectable local productions are now used to create exciting modern fare that is sure to please your palette. In Scotland, it is not just about the great food, but the atmosphere as well. You will have the ability to sample local cuisine as well as cuisine from all over the world.
Scotland is a great UK vacation destination for everyone, whether it be children or adults. Lovers of flowers can find a wealth of eye-candy in Scotland, despite how far north it is. Another interesting thing to note is that since March 2006, Scotland has been smoke-free in all buildings open to the public.
Despite all of the things you can do while visiting Scotland, you will need to sleep eventually. Luckily, Scotland has a wealth of options, from the modern to the medieval to the unique. Many people choose the traditional bed & breakfast option, since it is more community-based and often provides traditional meals to its guests. However, one can also choose to sleep like kings and queens of old in a castle, rough it on a working farm, or even rest in a historic lighthouse!
Many people can trace their ancestors back to Scottish roots, but few get to literally retrace their ancestors' footsteps by visiting Scotland. Even if you are not of Scottish origins, make a point of visiting this spectacular country and exploring the rich and varied history of others.
