Legends in Every Landscape
Mystical moors, storied castles, windswept coastlines, and warm hospitality—Scotland is a land that stirs the soul. From the cobbled lanes of Edinburgh to the wild Highlands and the ancient ruins of Orkney, this is a country where history and nature hold hands. Ride the rails past misty glens, stroll the Royal Mile, explore vibrant Glasgow, tee off at the home of golf in St. Andrews, or trace the legends of clan lands and lochs. However you explore Scotland, your Envoyage advisor will design a journey steeped in charm, heritage, and unforgettable moments.

Tipping Customs: Tipping at casual restaurants and pubs is not customary, but in fine dining establishments a tip may be offered for good service. Feel free to round your taxi ride to the nearest pound. It is also customary to tip hotel porters around £2.
Weather: Even in the summer, you can experience all the seasons in a single day, especially in the Highlands. Bring layered clothing, an umbrella, and a rain jacket.
Best Time to Visit: Any time of year. June to August are the best months to visit the Highlands, and in the height of summer in Skye, though the sun does indeed set, you can still see some light on the horizon. Spring (late March to early June) and autumn (September to November) are quieter and offer glimpses of spring blossoms and fall foliage.

Advisor Review
From Globe Trotter
A trip to Edinburgh isn’t complete without experiencing the Edinburgh Castle, Old Town, and of course, its many famous festivals. With creative stores, old Edinburgh-style taverns and a mention-worthy nightlife, Scotland’s capital is certainly one of Europe’s coolest.

Moments Worth Chasing
Walk Through History at Edinburgh Castle
Set atop an ancient volcanic crag, Edinburgh Castle houses royal treasures like the Stone of Destiny and Scotland’s Crown Jewels. The views across the city are nearly as majestic.
Wander the Royal Mile
Browse tartan shops, sample whisky, and feel the pulse of Scottish culture as you stroll from Holyrood Palace to the gates of the castle in Edinburgh’s historic heart.
Venture to the Ancient Orkney Islands
Step back 5,000 years at Skara Brae and marvel at the standing stones of Brodgar. These mystical islands off the northern coast reveal Scotland’s prehistoric soul.
Chase Legends at Loch Ness
Whether you believe in Nessie or not, the dramatic setting of Loch Ness is worth the trip—deep waters, thick forests, and Highland scenery that’s pure poetry.
Hike the Highlands
Explore Cairngorms National Park or Loch Lomond and The Trossachs for trails that wind through heather-covered hills, serene lochs, and rugged peaks.
Sample Scotland’s Signature Flavors
Try haggis if you dare, paired with a dram of smoky single malt. In Scotland, food and drink are full of story and spirit.
