Whoever travels to Scotland, meets a
beautiful and rich country, rich in beauty and history. The majestic
castles greet the visitor in every corner of the country. Witnesses of
time ago which remind one rather of plays and dramas, such as
Shakespeare or Macbeth which are the most famous example of it. Some
parts of Scotland rank among the most thinly settled areas of Europe and
offer the possibility of experiencing nearly undisturbed landscapes.
Whether lonely lighthouses or postcard picture church ruins, Scotland
should be traveled in peace and with time, in order to absorb the
un-comparable impressions, of nature and architect, it has to offer.
