Now before I continue I must stress that I do not work in any shape or form in the travel industry; I am in fact involved with offering DVD authoring, Asda Voucher Codes as well as providing training for foster carers.

Places to visit in Scotland

Edinburgh castle has been a focal point of the Edinburgh skyline for over eight hundred years.

It includes the Scottish National War Museum which lists all of Scotland’s war dead since 1914.

Adult admission to the castle is currently £8 and for children it is only £2.

Loch Ness and the Great Glen is a must. I am sure you have all heard of the loch ness monster, see if you can see him when you visit here. Many people have stated that they could!

The Glasgow science centre is the most recent major museum opened in Glasgow. This is a most impressive place which caters for all age groups. I have only ever heard positive comments from people who have visited this museum.

The National Gallery of Scotland has a wide range of paintings including works from Rembrandt, Gainsborough and Ramsay. Entrance is free apart from for special exhibitions.

Places to stay in Scotland

Edinburgh

I personally think that the Balmoral is one of the most impressive hotels within Edinburgh and it is based on the famous Princes Street. It is also one of the most expensive hotels however.

Albany is a Georgian style hotel and is situated on Albany Street.

The Bonham is a very plush establishment and has a top quality Euro styled restaurant. This is a very popular place to stay and is situated in Drumsheugh Gardens.

Ingrams is more of a hotel/bed and breakfast. It is situated on Northumberland Street.

Glasgow

Glasgow Hilton is a hotel that is well known to be at the top end of the market and therefore one should expect to pay a premium when stopping here in comparison to lesser hotels in the same city. It is a newly updated and modern. It is situated on William Street.

St Jude’s is a petit establishment which is located on Bath Street.

There is must see Oshi spa at Langs; this is certainly something to be hold.

Where to dine in the beautiful country of Bonny Scotland

Inverlochy Castle has three dining rooms and has won many awards. If you can afford it, this is the one you want to visit.

Alternative eateries include:

Culloden House

Summer Isles Hotel

Eden Court

Seagreen
