Let's take a wee look at Scotland

Discover the beauty of Scotland's lochs. All surrounded by stunning scenery, the word Loch is the Gaelic word for a lake or fjord. Perhaps the most famous of all Scottish lochs, Loch Ness, draws visitors of all ages with its legends of Nessie and stunning photography opportunities. Don't miss the chance to see Urquhart Castle perched on a rocky outcrop overlooking the picturesque Loch Ness.


Experience the rich history and culture Scotland has to offer by visiting one of its captivating cities. Edinburgh boasts a magnificent castle and hosts the world-renowned tattoo, while Glasgow's ancient architecture and friendly atmosphere make it a must-see destination. For whisky enthusiasts, Glasgow is home to some of the finest drams around. Head north to Inverness and discover the charming Old Town dominated by the impressive Inverness Castle. History lovers will appreciate its striking red sandstone facade. The main street offers a plethora of shopping options, from independent boutiques to established brands, perfect for those seeking some retail therapy.


Discover Scotland's unique charm and character, as you immediately hear the distinct accent and quirky vocabulary used by locals on a daily basis. Much of Scotland's contemporary language is influenced by the 600-year-old Scots language, which has Germanic origins. Although certain words are prevalent throughout the country, each region boasts its own unique dialect.


  • Wee - small
  • Aye - yes
  • nae - no
  • Hoachin - very busy
  • Hummin - smelly
  • Blether - to talk or gossip
  • Numptie - a fairly inoffensive name for someone who’s being a bit silly.


So what are you waiting for? Explore the magic of Scotland with its endless possibilities for adventure, sightseeing, and unique experiences. Don't miss out on the opportunity to explore this amazing destination that guarantees unforgettable memories. Plan your Scottish getaway today!
