Your Tour Package to Scotland - Things to See and Do
Loch Ness
Local folklore has made Loch Ness one of Scotland’s premier attractions. A legendary creature called the Loch Ness Monster is rumored to inhabit this dark freshwater lake close to Inverness. Whether “Nessie” is real or not, there is ample reason to visit what is Scotland’s most famous body of water. A boat tour across this intriguing lake is the best way to take in the immense scenery, breathe the fresh Highland air, and to try and spot the monster itself - speak to your Tourlane Travel Expert if you wish to book this in advance. Be sure to check out the views from the Urquhart Castle, one of Scotland's biggest.
Loch Lomond
If you want to see one of Scotland’s natural wonders, head to Loch Lomond. This lake is also one of the largest by surface area. Its beauty is both intimate yet vast, a combination of feelings that inspired one of Scotland’s most famous traditional songs: “The Bonnie Banks o’Loch Lomond.” Take a cruise across the shores - we challenge you to resist the enchanting charm of this astonishing body of water.
Isle of Skye
If you love hiking and the great outdoors, head northwest to the spectacular Isle of Skye, the largest of the Inner Hebridies. Boasting some of the most picturesque landscapes, towns, and beaches nationwide, Skye encapsulates what is so special about Scotland in one place. Grab your hiking boots and get started on one of the many trails—and keep a lookout for the numerous castles that pepper the surrounding mountains. If you’re visiting Scotland in summer, head to Coral Beach to find turquoise waters and pristine white dunes.
Edinburgh Castle
Calling all history buffs - Edinburgh Castle has been inhabited since the Iron Age, and provides a fascinating glimpse into Scotland’s ancient past. Once the residence of Scottish royalty, the fort today beams with historical landmarks, including the One O’Clock Gun, a WWII-era gun that fires a shot every day at 1 pm. Edinburgh Castle is located on the Royal Mile - Scotland’s most famous road. Once you’ve seen all the castle has to offer, be sure to walk along this gorgeous street and quench your thirst with a pint at one of the many pubs. Less

If that doesn’t sound appealing to you, you’ll be glad to hear that Scotland’s waters are packed with delicious fish.

Useful Information for Planning Your Trip
The best time to visit Scotland is in autumn (September to November) and spring (late March to May).

Autumn and spring are also less busy, and offer the perfect opportunity to enjoy Edinburgh and Glasgow when they are less crowded. July and August are the warmest months of the year (mid-60s to the high-70s), and they are a good time to visit if you're looking to hike in the Highlands.
