Scotland : Michelin's recommendations
Scotland has fostered an unforgettable image, from ghost stories and romantic ruins to moors covered in heather, the Loch Ness monster and kilt-clad giants playing the bagpipes. And just think of all the films, from Hamlet to The Da Vinci Code, that have used Scotland as a backdrop.
Nature has been carefully preserved here, thanks to the work of the Scottish Wildlife Trust founded in 1964. You can see its famous red deer, grey seals in North Rona, majestic golden eagles on the Isle of Skye, as well as dolphins, killer whales, Minke and humpback whales, especially around the Hebrides.
Nothing evokes Scotland quite like the sublime landscapes of the Highlands with their spooky but ultra-photogenic ruins, their rugged and beautiful mountains and misty lochs.
Although the coast isn’t exactly brimming with seaside resorts, due to the temperature of the water, it does possess some beautiful scenery: cliffs that turn red at sunset, fjords worthy of Scandinavia, traditional little fishing ports and endless unspoilt beaches.
The historical and architectural legacy from the country’s rich and turbulent past (marked by wars against the English) is of the same calibre. You’ll see for yourself when you explore its two main urban and industrial centres, Glasgow and Edinburgh, fascinating places to visit year round with their beautiful Georgian and Art nouveau buildings by Mackintosh, their museums and festivals!
