Discover Scotland
Travel to Scotland to experience ancient castles, wind-blown moors and the captivating sounds of bagpipes.
Fierce battles of long ago are easily imagined in staggering stone fortresses. Scenic lakes (you decide if the Loch Ness monster exists), forests and coastlines, world-class cities and picture-book villages, and the legendary Highland Games just might inspire you to don a kilt during your visit.

More About Scotland
Overview
If you love castles, this is the place. Scotland has everything from atmospheric medieval ruins to magnificent Georgian piles. Prefer a theatrical street party? The Edinburgh International Festival in late August is huge, but arguably bigger is Fringe, EIF's unruly offshoot; it spills out of theaters onto Edinburgh's streets. When you're ready to eat, know that Scotland is more than just haggis. Try fresh seafood, excellent red meats, and traditional ingredients such as oatmeal and wild berries used in new ways. Where there's food, there's drinks; the British government closely monitors the process of producing whisky—spelled without the "e" here. A typical distillery visit includes a presentation, a tour, and a tasting. Walk it off with a hike through a glens or a round of golf where the sport was born.

- To make it easier to replace your passport if it’s lost or stolen, in addition to your passport, take a photocopy of your passport information page (keeping it separate from your actual passport).
- Carry only a limited amount of cash, just enough for gratuities and incidental purchases. Major credit cards are widely accepted and can be replaced if lost or stolen.
- Always lock your hotel room door (including patio and balcony door on any level of the building) and use the peephole before opening the door.
- Store your valuables (such as cash, credit cards and airline tickets) in the hotel’s in-room safe or front desk safety deposit box.
- If you must carry valuables on your person, do so in a pouch or money belt concealed under your clothing. Purses and backpacks can be easy targets for thieves.
- For complete and current safety and security information, including travelers’ tips, public announcements, travel advisories, and more, please visit the website of the U.S. Department of State at www.travel.state.gov.
