Scotland Tourism

Scotland, a part of the UK, is located in northwestern Europe and is one of the most important countries in the continent. When one thinks of Scotland, the chequered kilts and bagpipes come to mind. However, there is a lot more to the country. From the lush green highlands to the coastal blue waters, from fine Scotch whiskies and brilliant food, you can experience all. Scotland also has a long history, and its magnificent castles can vouch for that.

Scotland is well known for its nightlife and attracts a lot of tourists to the bustling life after dusk. The numerous music festivals in the country provide a brilliant nightlife throughout the year where people dance and scream their hearts out. There are a few casinos in Edinburgh and Glasgow which are worth trying out. Alea Glasgow is one of the most popular ones with games like Long Bar, Read Lead Bar and Iso Bar. When in Glasgow, Sub Club and Cube are the most popular clubbing places where the top DJs of the world come to perform. In Edinburgh, the major nightlife districts are around Broughton Street, Leith Walk, Cowgate and George Street.

Shopping in Scotland

Scotland offers a broad range of souvenirs and memorabilia to buy while on your trip. The perfect souvenir is a kilt, the traditional outfit of the Scottish which costs around GBP 300. 
How can one leave Scotland without buying whiskies? Single malt whiskies are a must buy when here. There are many duty-free shops which sell them.
Look out for tiny shops in the street if you want unique jewellery, pottery or fashionable clothing. Numerous fairs and flea markets are organised here throughout the year.

Festivals of Scotland

Scotland houses numerous festivals that call out a number of tourists every year. Edinburgh International Festival is held for the celebration of arts and is now one of the most popular celebrations in the world. Other major festivals include The Fringe in Edinburgh, Military Tattoo festival held in the Edinburgh Castle, The Hogmanay Festival, Highland Games and Hebrides of Scotland. Numerous music festivals are also held in Scotland like Electric Fields Festival, Groove Loch Ness, Edinburgh Jazz and Blues Festival and Shetland Folk Festival. You are bound to find one or the other festival going on throughout the year.

Hygiene in Scotland

One should be aware of midges, small biting flying insects, that are found in the damp areas of Western Scotland. It is better to carry an insect repellent spray. Also carry medicines for high altitude sickness, when going for hillwalking. Some major things to consider while travelling in Scotland are eating and drinking safely, staying safe outdoors and avoiding sharing body fluids.

Customs of Scotland

People in Scotland generally have a relaxed dressing style. Most tourists can explore the place in decent casuals. In case of greetings, shaking hands is the first step followed by a "Hello" or "How do you do?". The tourists should be polite to everyone. One major thing to avoid is calling a Scottish person English, as they get highly offended by this. Tipping culture in Scotland is not as much popular as it is in countries like the USA. Still, there are a few areas where tipping is practiced. For taxis, it is good to tip around 10% of the fare to the drivers. In restaurants, tipping 10% of the entire bill amount is a norm.

Tips for visiting Scotland

  • Scotland is a safe country, and the chances of encountering crime are pretty low, but it is still better to have some precautions. In an emergency situation, dial 999 or 112 to get in touch with officials.
  • Scotland's weather is also unpredictable, so it is always better if you carry extra warm as well as rainproof clothing or umbrellas with you whenever you visit.

Food of Scotland

Good food and Scotland are closely linked to each other. Situated in the perfect location with rural highlands, clear waters and fertile lands, the country has some of the finest natural produce in the world. When in Scotland, you must try the national dish, haggis. It is a savoury pudding that has sheep's hearts, lungs, and liver, minced with onion, spices, salt, and oatmeal. Scotland also has some of the best seafood in the world with brilliant preparations of oysters, scallops, langoustines, salmon, crabs, and lobsters. Scottish beef is known to be the best in the world, and the sizzling sirloin of the popular Scotch beef cannot be missed while here. Scottish people are also lovers of oats porridge and Scotch Pies. Vegetarian food is not hard to find, but vegan food is. Edinburgh has a few good vegan restaurants in the country.
