The kilt, malt whisky, the Loch Ness Monster, mountains and golf attract visitors to a country full of mysticism, legends and history. The Atlantic weather makes for breath taking light effects, which are as much a part of the scenery as the unique Scottish sense of humor. MARCO POLO leads you from the Highlands to the Hebrides through wildly romantic and dramatic landscapes of a country that might look like a film set but is founded on a history stretching back thousands of years. The big cities come across as youthful and modern. Edinburgh in particular, the diva of the cities, lures with its quirky, independent shops. The Insider Tips reveal where one might understand Hitchcock's classic 'The Birds' or raise a glass with the philosophers, dreamers, workers and musicians of Glasgow. The 'Best Of' pages point out some experiences unique to Scotland, recommend things to do for free, and have tips for rainy days and where you can relax and unwind. The magic of Scotland often begins at the side of the road. Excursions & Tours take you in search of monsters and on a train journey through the country. Thereby Loch Ness should be just as much a part of the itinerary as the clattering looms of Hebridean islands of Harris and Lewis. Walking, fishing, playing golf and sailing: there are numerous ways to be active and have fun in Scotland and in all weathers. Finally the Dos & Don'ts highlight a few things you need to be aware of when visiting the country. MARCO POLO Scotland provides comprehensive coverage of all parts of the country. To help you find your way around there is a detailed Road Atlas, a useful map of Edinburgh in the cover, plus a separate pull-out map.
