Holiday In Scotland
Do you hear that? It’s the sound of bagpipes blurting out the song Flower of Scotland. Doesn’t it sound good?
We think so too, and that’s why we want you to take a look at our fantastic Scotland packages and book one today. Act like a king in the capital with a tour of Edinburgh Castle. Then head to Glasgow and learn everything there is to know about football at the Scottish Football Museum. Oh, and by the way, you’d look unbelievable in a kilt, but please wear some underoos.
Things to Do in Scotland
There’s just so much to do on Scotland holidays that you may have to write down activities on pieces of paper and draw from a hat. On second thought, don’t do that, just follow along! First, get yourself a set of wheels from lastminute.co.nz’s awesome Scotland car hire deals so you can go exploring at any time. Like driving down to the southern coast and feasting your eyes on Caerlaverock Castle. Built in the 13th century and besieged by those cheeky Brits a couple of times, it’s one of the best examples of classical domestic architecture still hanging in there. Good luck crossing the moat.
Next stop on your holiday to Scotland is Glasgow, where you can discover the country’s rich football history at the Scottish Football Museum. It’s located at Hampden Park—the national stadium—and houses an impressive collection of football memorabilia. You can also take part in a stadium tour, where you’ll be able to see the team changing room, manager dugouts and even walk out of the tunnel onto the pitch. Sorry, no caps are given out to commoners.
Shopping, Dining & Nightlife
Has the shopping bug bitten you yet? If so, head to the coast of the North Sea and the capital city of Edinburgh for a treat-yo-self spree. The area around Prince Street is jammed with chain stores and souvenir shops where you’re sure to find something to spend your money on. There’s also St. James Centre and several retail parks just outside the city if you still want to wave your credit card around during Edinburgh holidays.
When you get hungry after all the shopping, stick around the capital and make your way to Stockbridge to get your fix. This is a swankier part of town, so no dancing on the tables at these joints. But that doesn’t mean you can’t suck down an ale with your plate of haggis, neeps and tatties.
Growing up in the United Kingdom automatically makes you a party animal the English and Irish know how to get down, and the Scottish are no different. If you decide to stay in the capital city, hang out on the Royal Mile in the Old Town neighbourhood and go off like a frog in a sock. Switch back and forth between scotch and ale and see how you feel the next morning. Mixing it up is a big part of Scotland holidays, after all.
