Scotland is a country of enormous variation and enchanting beauty. It contains easily the most remote and wild areas of Britain amongst the staggeringly impressive landscapes of the Northern Highlands. The jumble of mountains, snow-drizzled peaks, lochs, seacliffs and rocky outcrops sears itself in visitors' minds. This is a place to lose yourself in a genuine European wilderness. But Scotland's allure is so much more. The dynamism of Edinburgh and Glasgow, its two principal cities, is found in their style bars, classic pubs, pumping live music and creative arts scene, highlighted by the world's greatest arts festival, the Edinburgh Fringe. Edinburgh, with its centuries-old castle melded seamlessly into a volcanic plug, is surely one of the world's most beautiful and startling cities with breathtaking vistas. The country is also a portal into the not-so-distant past, littered with historical ruins, impregnable castles, brochs, forts, standing stones and ancient burial chambers. Magical Perthshire is a good place to start, encapsulating much of the country's landscapes, from its bleak, rugged peaks to the remote splendor of Glen Lyon, and the postcard-perfect scenery around exquisite Kenmore.
