Explore Scotland with this handy, pocket-sized, authoritative guide, packed with Insider Tips. Discover boutique hotels, authentic restaurants, the region's trendiest places, and get tips on shopping and what to do on a limited budget. There are plenty of ideas for travel with kids, and a summary of all the festivals and events that take place. Let Marco Polo show you all that Scotland has to offer…
Scotland is such an iconic destination - the kilt, malt whisky, the Loch Ness Monster, mountains and golf attract visitors to a region full of mysticism, legends and history. The Atlantic weather makes for breath-taking light effects, which are as much a part of the scenery as the unique Scottish sense of humour. Let Marco Polo guide you from the Highlands to the Hebrides through wildly romantic and dramatic landscapes of a region that might look like a film set but is founded on a history stretching back thousands of years. The big cities come across as youthful and modern. Edinburgh in particular, the diva of the cities, lures with its quirky, independent shops… This is Scotland!
