Whether you are looking for a relaxing trip away from the busy and tiring schedule or an adventurous one to compensate for all the boredom, this country is going to provide an excellent holiday experience. So check out our list of some of the most beautiful places to visit in Scotland ASAP!

Isle Of Skye

THE KING ISLAND, RULING OVER THE MAJOR ISLANDS IN THE INNER HEBRIDES OF SCOTLAND.

The peninsulas radiating from the Cuillin mountain range along with the rocky slopes create the most dramatic mountain scenery in the country.

And to top that you can enjoy the cool ocean breeze influenced by the Atlantic ocean and the Gulf stream.

Now, this doesn't come to us as a surprise that this was once voted one of the most beautiful places to visit in the world.

The Skye bridge connecting the Skye to the mainland might take you to the sky literally but before that, we suggest you enjoy the ferry rides.

Like every other destination, this place also comes with its 'MUST SEE, MUST EXPERIENCE' menu including -

• FAIRY POOLS, it's said that fairies have bathed in it making the water so clear. so don't forget to take a dip (who knows you might get lucky and see a fairy).
• KILT ROCK, this scenic cliff is going to make your jaws drop. the beautiful waterfalls aren't something to miss.
• OLD MAN OF STORR, a great place for climbing and Instagram posts.
• PORTREE, the largest town with its vibrant beach, buildings, and fishermen.
• THE OLD INN, the most famous and one of the best pubs ( a few drinks never hurt anyone.)

Dean Village

"WATER OF LEITH VILLAGE"

This village, once famous as the center of a successful grain milling area for more than 800 years, is a major tourist attraction today as Edinburgh's world heritage site. And people visit to see the picturesque Dean bridge designed by Thomas Telford.

The four arched Dean bridge spans a width of over 400ft and is 106ft above the water level. (quite impressive, right?)

Edinburgh

The Royal Capital

This capital city of Scotland is the second-most populous city.

Talking of royals, the Palace of Holyroodhouse is the official residence of the Monarch. this city is a perfect blend of old-world charm, sophistication, and history (just like a royal treatment).

For enjoying more scenic beauty head down to the beautiful Skyline dominated by the castle which sits atop a volcano (yes, literally a volcano). Also if you love visiting spooky and haunting places, you would not want to miss the series of underground chambers, 'Vaults' (well, I'd like to pass!).

A few highlights that will help you in making plans

• PRINCE'S STREET, Don't forget to check out the most famous shopping street.
• ROYAL MILE, walk with your loved ones down this royal mile in the old town. It leads from Edinburgh Castle down to the Scottish Parliament and is lined with quirky shops, rocking pubs, and restaurants.
• EDINBURGH CASTLE, the must-see volcano top castle located in the center of the city awaits you.
• SCOTTISH POETRY LIBRARY, check out the exquisite and mysterious miniature paper sculptures made from books and left by a talented anonymous gifter.

Balnakeil Bay

Highland's Beautiful Beach

This heavenly place can be found in a tiny hamlet in the parish of Durness on the North Coast of Scotland. So just lie down here and relax, away from all the worldly problems (wish we could).

It's a long pristine stretch of huge dunes and from here you can walk out to Faraid Head, a small and pretty peninsula that is home to nesting seabirds. Also make sure to visit the historic watermill, Balnakeil House, built in 1744, the ruined church of Balnakeil which dates from 1619, and the Balnakeil Craft Village.

Eilean Donan

The Castle Of Dreams

This most photographed castle adorns the tiny tidal island of Loch Duich. This is arguably the epitome of Scotland's scenic beauty.

Its a truly picturesque and mesmerizing.

Surrounded by the forested mountains of Kintail it also gives you a beautiful sighting of dolphins, otters, and birdlife. The first castle dates from the 13th century and over the centuries and has been expanded many times and finally restored in the 20th century.

Planning a vacation requires a lot of energy, time, and research but at the end of the day, it is worth all the trouble.

We hope this article saved you some time and helped you in planning that much-needed vacation.
