F.A.Q. About Scotland

Not finding what you're looking for? Our destination experts are here to help!

What is the best time to go to Scotland?

What season or month you choose for your trip is completely up to you, but we believe that traveling in the warmer months is the best way to explore Scotland. Summer is the time when Scotland is the warmest, however, you shouldn't expect the heat of the Mediterranean and prepare for rainy weather too. Temperatures in June-August on average just tilt over 15°C (59°F). The fall season is usually very rainy, thus if you plan your visit around October or November, make sure to pack water-resisting outerwear.

Where is the most beautiful place in Scotland?

Mainland Scotland encompasses an enormous count of astonishing natural attractions as well as a few incredibly charming cities such as Edinburgh and Glasgow. However, the real beauty lies one flight or a boat trip away, in the islands. Scottish islands are one of the most favored destinations of the region, with jaw-dropping coastlines, majestic sceneries with hills, and waterfalls scattered across. One of the most popular breathtaking locations in Scotland is the Isle of Skye. Make sure to add it to your Scottish itinerary if you enjoy spending quality time in nature.

What is traditional food in Scotland?

Like pizza in Italy, Scotland also has its signature dish. No trip here could be complete without a taste of the national dish of Haggis. You might wonder what it is made of? Well, to put it simply it's this kind of savory meat pudding that was made from sheep's pluck - heart, liver, and lungs, and minced with onion, spices, and oatmeal. If that doesn't tempt you to try it yet, you should know it comes with whiskey sauce, turnips, and potatoes. Buon Appetit!

What currency do I need in Scotland?

Scotland is still part of the United Kingdom, so the currency is the same as in the whole United Kingdom - pound sterlings. However, you might notice that Scotland has its own version of the banknotes, with different symbolics and colors - they are called Scottish notes and are widely accepted across the country too.

How many days do you need to visit Scotland?

A comprehensive tour to Scotland is usually 7-10 days long. Keep in mind, that if you're planning to explore the gorgeous islands of Scotland, you might need to have a few spare days for the logistics of it. However, if mainland Scotland is where you're aiming to spend the majority of your trip then 10 days is an ideal duration of your Scottish itinerary.

Why travel by train?

A train trip in Scotland has a lot of advantages, including convenience, cost, and scenic views. By traveling by train in Scotland, you will save both time and money while experiencing the country like a local. Thus, you should consider Britain Rails while visiting this majestic place.

Can I include a visit to Scotland as part of my Europe trip?

Absolutely! Scotland is a wonderful addition to your Europe trip and can be seamlessly combined with countries like Italy, France, or Greece. Scotland itself offers breathtaking landscapes, rich history, and a vibrant cultural heritage. From exploring the historic streets of Edinburgh to venturing into the rugged beauty of the Scottish Highlands and experiencing the enchantment of Loch Ness, Scotland promises unforgettable adventures. After immersing yourself in the Scottish charm, you can smoothly transition to other European destinations. Italy trip awaits with its rich history, world-renowned cuisine, and iconic landmarks like the Colosseum. France trip entices with its romantic ambiance, stunning architecture, and the opportunity to visit cities like Paris and the French Riviera. Greece trip, known for its ancient ruins and picturesque islands, offers yet another enchanting option for your Europe adventure. By including Scotland in your itinerary, you'll have the opportunity to experience the best of these countries, immersing yourself in their distinct cultures, cuisines, and attractions, ensuring a diverse and unforgettable journey.
