Visiting Scotland - welcome to our life
From stunning cities to breathtaking scenery, haunting history, wonderful festivals and warm, friendly people, Scotland is all of these and more.
It’s a proud and passionate place with an impressive heritage, a vibrant culture with a distinctive identity.
It’s also easy to get to and once you arrive here, it’s just as easy to get around.

Touring Scotland
Scotland is really a touring adventure at your own pace. Following a restful journey aboard Norfolkline, you’ll arrive directly in Fife with your batteries charged, ready to explore.
The Kingdom of Fife is an area as diverse as its stunning landscape. Once the ancestral home of Scottish monarchs, Fife is a unique collection of picturesque fishing villages and historic towns.
One of Scotland’s most beloved towns, St Andrews is the home of golf. Head for the Highlands and enjoy breathtaking scenery of mountains and lochs; or to the romantic Borders with its stately homes and ruined abbeys; or pick one of the many themed routes such as the world’s only Malt Whisky Trail.
Follow in the footsteps of royalty on the Victorian Heritage trail or go island hopping.
