"Land of The Shining River", "Land of My Heart Forever", "Scotland the Brave". The Scots' pride in their land's spectacular beauty, Celtic traditions and historic battles are everywhere evident in our walk through this stunning countryside. The capital city of Edinburgh provides a panorama of its history from medieval lanes and Georgian mansions to its vibrant contemporary arts scene. On the Highland trails, walkers encounter a pristine landscape of magnificent lakes, heathered moors, mountains and woods and fields rich with flowers, birds and wildlife. Here Scottish heroes rose Braveheart, Rob Roy and Bonnie Prince Charlie. Ancient Druids built mysterious stone circles, and contentious clans waited behind medieval castle walls before donning their tartans and doing battle. Remote islands beckon with lush scenery and picture-perfect ports.
