TOP TEN BREATHTAKING VIEWS OF SCOTLAND
Shetland: The views in the region of Shetland are something that truly matches the expression- out of the world. A small island it may be, but is home to unprecedented beauties of nature –the adorning rocks, the sizzling sand dunes, the yielding farms, the amazing cliffs, and the beaches flowered with pebbles.
Edinburgh Castle: The history pages of Scotland are a must visit! And what better way to start than the Edinburgh castle located in the capital of Scotland, Edinburgh (it’s the most famous and significant castle of Scotland). Residing high above the city since the 11th century, the castle houses the Scottish crown jewels, the stone of destiny and the Mons Meg.

The Islands of Orkney: Seventy odd islands clustered together! That truly makes for some exotic locations. These islands have a history of their own that can be felt on the shores of the luscious seas. Uniqueness ushers with the waves that drench the sands out here.
The Highlands: The postcard pictures in your baggage or laptop has its real counterpart out here in the highlands of Scotland. Welcome to the ‘real Scotland’- awesome sceneries, high end mountains kissing clouds, gushing loch, an unexplored haven of raw and equally wild places!
Aberdeen: The city bestowed with the title-‘the Granite City’, is where one falls short of adjectives while describing the place. The Grampian Mountains surround the cities all up to the sky and the city is home to magnificent granite buildings, which may not be found in any other part of the world.
Eilean Donan Castle: Ruins always speak of a bygone legacy and a time of splendor. Eilean Donan Castle is just the kind of place for archetypal aficionados. A photographer’s favorite destination, it’s also where romance reaches unseen heights.
The Kingdom of Fife: This place maybe small in size, but it has all that required to take one’s breath away. It is a perfect confluence of the ‘town’ and the growing industries of Scotland. Fife is bordered by a distinct coastline with some beautiful rock formations. The Forth road and the rail bridges are the eye candy of tourists visiting this kingdom.
Glasgow: Crowned as the ‘favorite city of UK’, 2006, the city is a class apart. The taste of world class art and culture, the pride of the majestic architecture and the designs is something that can be truly felt visiting this city. The ecstatic Clyde valley and the country side wonders are just hard to resist.
Perthshire: It places itself in the heart of Scotland and is a heartthrob indeed! Adventure sports, pleasant waters, surmounting mountains, serene forests it has it all in store. Perthshire is an abundant treasure for botanists, ornithologists and true nature lovers. It’s also home to the world’s highest hedge and Europe’s oldest tree!
Dumfries and Galloway: The best way to cut the heat of the modern day life would be to catch up with these places. Remnants of historic castles, a soothing ambience, heavenly landscapes and a sundry of lively activities is what you can expect here. The Tibetan Buddhist monastery, located here may just kindle the spiritual side of you
