  • Attend the Up Helly Aa festival to take part in a torchlit parade, and the ceremonial burning of a replica Viking longship.
  • Visit the “home of golf” in St.Andrew’s before making your way to Balmoral Castle, the Scottish home of the Royal Family since 1848.

Tips

  • The official languages of Scotland are English, Gaelic and Scots. Be forewarned: Scottish accents can be hard for some to understand.
  • Scotland’s currency is the British Pound. Credit cards are widely accepted but carrying some cash is advisable.
  • Tipping is in the neighbourhood of 10% at most establishments.
  • Be sure to shop for Celtic jewellery, Scottish Woolens (tartans, cashmere and lambswool), shortbread and whiskey.
  • Weather is quick to change. Be prepared with layers, rain gear, boots and good walking shoes.
  • Tap water is safe to drink, although may be chlorinated quite heavily.
  • Irn Bru is Scotland’s most popular soft drink. The recipe for it is known only to two living people at any one time.
  • Scotland’s official animal is the unicorn. It’s not surprising considering the love Scotland has for legends.
