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
In the northern part of Great Britain, Scotland makes up nearly one-third of the United Kingdom's land area. With a sense of mystery and pride, Scotland's breathtaking, wild beauty consists of Georgian architecture, medieval ruins, rugged landscapes, and scenic lochs throughout the Scottish Countryside. With more castles than anywhere else in the United Kingdom, these medieval marvels are a must-see. In southeast Scotland, Edinburgh Castle commands attention atop Castle Rock, an extinct volcanic hill. As the sound of bagpipes echo through the air adding a musical touch to the country's cultural heritage, Scotland beckons travelers to explore and embrace the warmth of its people, and the rich tradition of kilts and tartans.
Before You Go
Airport Check-In: It is recommended that you reconfirm your flight information and check in for your flights at the airline’s website 24 hours prior to your scheduled departure. Please bring all your final documents with you. It is important to arrive at the airport at least 90 minutes prior to departure for all domestic flights, and two to three hours prior to departure for international flights. For domestic flights within Europe, you are required to check in two hours prior to departure.
Required Documents: U.S. citizens must travel with a valid passport and a ticket for return or onward travel. There may be additional requirements for international travel, such as inoculations or visas, and some countries require that passports be valid for six months or longer beyond your stay in the country.

Rules are subject to change at any time, without notice. For the most current information, please visit the website of the U.S. Department of State at www.travel.state.gov.

General Safety Tips: By taking a few simple security precautions before and during your vacation, you can help ensure that you, your traveling companions, and your valuables are as safe and secure as possible.
- 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.
