Scotland on the map

Scotland is located in the northern part of Great Britain and is part of the British Isles. The country stretches from the border areas with England in the south to the Highlands in the north and further out towards island worlds such as Orkney, Shetland and the Outer Hebrides. The distances may look short on the map, but the landscape is varied and the routes often offer some of the greatest experiences of the trip.

Edinburgh is located on the east coast and is the capital of Scotland, while Glasgow is the largest city and a center for music, culture, and football. Inverness in northern Scotland often serves as the gateway to the Highlands and Loch Ness, where many hope to hear the tales of a sea monster in Scotland.
