If you mention to someone that you want to travel to Scotland, the first thing that will cross their mind are destinations with medieval styles and a lot of history behind them, and so it is! The main place you should visit is Edinburgh, here you can visit the Old Town or New Town, if you visit the first one, we recommend you to get lost in its charming streets that will make you travel back in time: no modern chain shops or advanced technologies of the modern world, just you, the delicious climate and traditional shops and pubs that will give you to taste delicious food and the best beers or whiskies. Now, we can't forget to mention the unforgettable castles that are part of the history of Scotland: Edinburgh Castle, Stirling Castle that hides incredible facts about the history of the nation or Eilean Donan Castle, located in the Highlands, on a small island in Loch Duich.
