Growing up there I visited countless castles..

Scotland has....

• 3000 castles


• magnificent mountains and ancient volcanoes


• the largest wilderness area in Europe


• the best cultural festival of the arts in its capital city Edinburgh


• skiing- golf -horse riding -sailing -whale-watching -snowboarding

It has also been

• inhabited for 6,000 years..at least!


• the inspiration for writers and poets..


• such as Robert Louis Stevenson, who wrote "Treasure Island"


• J.M. Barrie who created "Peter Pan" and many others

and of course "Harry Potter" fans the world over already know where "Hogwarts" is!

Scotland currently is

• the favourite vacation home of the current British Royal family...

I had a magical childhood growing up in Broughty Ferry... No, you probably won't find it on the map..It's a little fishing village near Dundee. By the way, it's really close to Carnoustie, but I didn't play much golf there.. I built some wonderful summer sandcastles on that beautiful beach though!

When you come to visit, you probably won't have as much time as I did.

So whether you stay in a castle, or a cottage, a caravan or a tent....

I want you to make the most of every second to experience the magic and hope this guide will help you to organise your visit whether you have a few days... a few months.... or even the rest of your life to spend here!

Scotland is romantic, wild and beautiful....let it inspire you too...!
