Scotland - this is not only kilts and bagpipes, this is a country with a powerful culture, stunningly beautiful nature, magnificent sights, this is one of those places that you will never regret visiting, but you will strive here again and again.
Scotland's landscapes are very diverse: these are mountains, swamps, and countless small islands that can be seen from the edge of high and dangerous cliffs. These are coniferous forests in the mountains, giving way to emerald hilly valleys, where fluffy sheep and funny Scottish ponies in warm knitted sweaters.
One of the hallmarks of Scotland is the incredible organic nature with which historical buildings fit into the natural landscape of the country. Ancient castles, bridges, roads look as if they have always been here, as if they were created by nature itself. There is a simple explanation for this - due to the lack of wood, local residents built buildings and crossings from local rocks. The construction of such structures took a lot of time and skill, but the results of such efforts have served the locals faithfully for several centuries.
The stunning beauty of the Scottish countryside has become a source of inspiration for many great writers and poets. Fingal's cave, located on one of the coastal islands of Scotland, has become a real place of artistic pilgrimage and has inspired the work of many famous artists, musicians and writers. A long lake, in which, according to legend, a huge underwater monster still lives, numerous castles with ghosts, forests in which fairies flutter - who knows, maybe this really exists. You just have to come and see Scotland with your own eyes.
