Scotland Attractions
Of all the places in the world, few can capture the hearts as Scotland can. It is a timeless place, soft and green, yet wild and beautiful, where narrow roads meander along the banks of sparkling rivers - and sheep have the right of way. Quaint rows of cottages hug the seashore, or sit bunched shoulder to shoulder in village after historic village, and every churchyard, and castle, and palace has a story to tell of the folks whose spirits still haunt the ruined crofts and live in the misty moors of my Scotland. Here are 5 good reasons to visit Scotland:
Edinburgh & Edinburgh Castle:
Edinburgh Castle is famous worldwide as an icon of Scotland. Once the home of kings and queens it is now the country’s premier visitor attraction. It boasts a magnificent Great Hall, with an ornate ceiling and fine collection of weapons, plus sumptuous royal apartments. Within its walls are Scotland’s crown jewels and the Stone of Destiny. There is also the highly-rated Prisons of War experience as well as the chance to see Mons Meg, the 15th century siege cannon, and to witness the firing of the One O´clock Gun. The castle makes a fabulous day out for adults and children.
Fort William
Fort William is the largest town in the west Highlands of Scotland and is the commercial centre of Lochaber, an area renowned for magnificent scenery with an important history. We have the highest mountain in the UK - Ben Nevis, and Loch Morar - the deepest loch, with beautiful glens, forests and beaches in between. Fort William and Lochaber offers the modern traveler an enormous choice for recreation, discovery and relaxation.
Falkirk Wheel
British Waterways unveiled the thrilling centre-piece of The Millennium Link canal project in December 1999Â - the Falkirk Wheel; the worldÂ’s first rotating boat lift. As much a sculpture for the 21st Century as a feat of engineering, the Falkirk Wheel combines state-of-the art engineering, traditional Scottish imagery and marine architecture. Four years in the planning, the Wheel is a collaboration between some of the UK's brightest architects and engineers, and is already being hailed as a future international landmark.
Designed to reconnect the Forth & Clyde and Union Canals between Glasgow and Edinburgh, the Wheel is the symbol of the £78 million The Millennium Link, the largest UK canal restoration ever and a national landmark project supported by £32 million from the Millennium Commission. Situated in a natural amphitheatre outside Falkirk, Scotland, the remarkable Wheel is more than just a boat lift. As working art it will be a celebration of the age and a monument to the future
Stirling Castle
Stirling Castle is situated at the head of Stirling's Old Town, mounted high on an old volcanic outcrop. No one can confirm when Stirling castle was first built, but references begin to appear in historical records of the early 12th Century, and these records themselves refer to an earlier occupation of the site.
The Castle that stands today is recorded to have been built between 1370 and 1750 in various different stages by the numerous different occupants of the stronghold. The varied types of statues and stone carvings that are mounted around the castle walls and on display in the gardens have a wide diversity of sources.
Stirling’s history is probably one of the most famous in the world, especially since the major motion picture ‘Braveheart’, starring Mel Gibson, was released. You can relive the movie experience with staged battle scenarios as well as other historical reconstructions laid on at the castle as well as visit the famous Wallace Monument. These scenarios are on all through the summer as part of Stirling's tourist attractions
Wallace Monument
One of the best vantage points from which to view Stirling is the top of the national Wallace Monument, a prominent Victorian tower which stands above the river on a rocky hill and is visible for miles around. In the 1850's there was a tide of nationalism that swept across the globe. One of the outcomes was the erection of the National Wallace Monument in memory of a great Scottish hero - William Wallace.
The original structure was completed in 1869 with an addition to the building at a later date. This addition was the 'Hall of Heroes' in which you can find marble sculptures of other Scottish heroes as well as information concerning such greats as Robert the Bruce, Sir Walter Scott, Robert Burns and David Livingston. After your visit to the monument you can spend more time exploring the Abbey Craig, on which the monument stands, with its vast areas of unspoilt land and beautiful woodland. The Monument stands above Causewayhead overlooking Bridge of Allan, the riverside and giving a great view of Royal Stirling and the Castle.
