Scotland Hotels by HotelTravel.com
Scotland is one of the world's more romantic destinations, tucked away to the north of England, the land of fairytale mulls and an ancient creature plying Loch Ness. Part of the United Kingdom, Scotland has hundreds of ancient ruins and castles, as well as cobblestoned small villages that appear much as they did hundreds of years ago. Scotland is a land that has always drawn great creative types, from authors to painters, philosophers to scientists. Edinburgh and Glasgow universities have given the world some of the greatest minds in physical sciences over the past two hundred years, as well as many great writers and philosophers.
With spectacular coastal scenery, Scotland offers visitors stunning vistas that include fog-shrouded mulls and inlets, as well as hundreds of islands offshore, including the fabled Shetlands and Hebries. Also of note are its cities. Edinburgh offers World Heritage status, with ancient buildings and classic cathedrals. Glasgow offers a multitude of museums, art galleries and historical sites to visit. Enjoy a visit to Loch Ness, Scotland's most famed tourist destination. Now a national park, visitors flock to it to see if they can spot Nessie, the last (alleged) survivor of an ancient race of dinosaurs. Also of note are Urquhart Castle, the most famous site in the area, as well as the Caledonian Canal, with its staircase of locks built almost two hundred years ago, and still operating today.
If you come to Scotland, be prepared to find all manner of accommodation on offer. Choose amongst charming inns tucked away down old city streets, gleaming five-star hotels as well as resorts that dot the coastal regions. Rolling green hills, country-sides filled with quaint villages, and breathtakingly beautiful valleys all are easy to find and enjoy when visiting Scotland.
