As an old Scottish saying goes, “good things come in small packages”. And it is that, despite its small size, Scotland certainly has many treasures crammed into its compact territory.
Its beautiful capital, Edinburgh, is full of monuments and places to visit. Scotland could not be understood without its Highlands, its legends, its northern islands, its small and remote rural towns or its breathtaking landscapes. This country is a paradise where green has no tonal limits and where the most authentic essence is served in small doses.
The National Museum of Scotland is a treasure trove of ancient artifacts and precious objects. Not only is it one of Scotland's top tourist spots, but it is also one of the UK's most popular attractions outside of London and offers a great program of temporary exhibitions throughout the year. Edinburgh Castle is a true icon of Scotland and has dominated the capital's skyline for centuries. Unusually, it is located on top of an extinct volcano.
The National Gallery of Scotland houses a national collection of Scottish fine art from the early Renaissance to the late 19th century. The walls of this main attraction are adorned with masterpieces, from Raphael, Velázquez and Vermeer to Monet, Cézanne and Van Gogh, as well as works by Scottish artists. The spectacular Riverside Museum sits on the River Clyde and is home to the Glasgow Transport Museum. It is full of fascinating objects and vehicles that tell the story of Scotland past and present. The Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum houses a staggering 8,000 objects in more than 22 beautiful galleries.
Located halfway up the historic Royal Mile, the crown-framed spire of St Giles Cathedral is one of the most recognizable features of Edinburgh's skyline and one of Edinburgh's best tourist attractions. Located within the walls of one of Edinburgh's top tourist attractions, the National War Museum is housed in Edinburgh Castle and is filled with exhibits and artifacts that tell the story of the impact of war on history, identity and Scotland's reputation abroad.
Edinburgh Bus Tours offers a selection of themed open-top bus tours that take you to some of the city's most prominent sights and attractions.

In Scotland there are many amazing places here is a list of the top 5 that you cannot miss.
1 Glen Co:
One of the best places to visit in Scotland is a deep glacial valley surrounded by the great mountains of Glen Coe. It is located in the Highlands and is of volcanic origin. It has appeared in films such as James Bond's Skyfall and several Harry Potter films, it is also famous for being one of the best places for hiking and mountain sports.
Before reaching Glen Coe, you will find Stalker Castle, located on an island in Loch Laich. A place where it is worth making a stop before continuing the route through Scotland.

2 Neist Point on the Isle of Skye:
It is known as the end of the Scottish world, it is a place where you drive on one-lane roads. A lonely island that is hard to forget. Arriving at Neist Point you can climb a small hill and sit on the edge of a cliff, from where you will enjoy stunning views of the spit of sea that separates it from the Outer Hebrides islands.

3 Whiskey Distillery:

There is a whiskey route for lovers of this drink, although for non-fans it is interesting to visit at least one. On the route through the distillery they will teach you the entire process of making malt whiskey and you will be able to taste various types of whiskey.

4 Eilean Donan Castle:
It is and one of the most essential places to visit in Scotland. Located in the Highlands, on a small island in Lake Duich, you can enter it by a stone bridge. This castle was also the setting for several films, including The Immortals and Braveheart, and it is the image of Cardhu Scotch whisky.

5 Rosslyn Chapel and The Borders:
The Borders is an area in the south of Edinburgh full of villages with ruins of medieval abbeys. There is the Rosslyn Chapel that became very famous when it appeared in the book and the movie The Da Vinci Code. This mid-15th century chapel is full of gargoyles, symbols, reliefs, carved stone figures, and there are many theories that the Knights Templar hid The Holy Grail here.

Scotland is the northernmost country in the United Kingdom, it is a land of mountainous wilderness, such as the Cairngorms and the North West Highlands, interspersed with glacial valleys and lochs.
The best time to visit Scotland is during the spring, especially April and May, although June can also be a good month. Although in Scotland it rains regularly all year round, these are the months with the least rain and, in addition, the temperatures are quite pleasant
It also has a famous place that is Loch Ness, it is possibly the most famous place in Scotland thanks to the legend of the Nessie monster, although we have to say that it is not exactly the most beautiful, although it is one of the essential visits
