Scotland
A vacation to the isle of Britain would be incomplete without stopping in Scotland. Edinburgh and Glasgow are some of the most cosmopolitan cities in the United Kingdom, set in an urban landscape with many historic buildings dating from the Victorian era and even earlier, impressive considering Scotland was not spared from the Blitz of World War II. Further afield, rivers flow through beautiful valleys that reach the peaks of the Highlands, an area with its own authentic cultural traditions. Whether you are in mainland Scotland or on one of the offshore islands, this nation offers so many charming experiences for the traveler, from fairytale castles to abbeys in ruins to picturesque villages.

Glasgow
Glasgow, nestled on the River Clyde, has been a very important trading port for hundreds of years. Goods, ideas, and even people from far and wide have shaped the city's unique culture over the centuries. Glasgow was previously selected as the European City of Culture and was host of the 2014 Commonwealth Games. Both of those distinctions have brought a lot of positive economic impact to this area, where urban renewal initiatives continue to brighten the town. Glaswegians are more enthusiastic than ever to welcome you to their beloved city. Glasgow is a city with many defining characteristics and these range from the elegance of its Victorian architecture to its downright cool music and club culture. Glasgow has an amazing portfolio of museums and galleries, many of them free!
