The center of the Scottish plateau is surrounded by Mount Kanegom, which covers a tenth of the area of Scotland, and is "Kainegom National Park". There are ideal ski resorts in the park, and there are five ski resorts in Scotland, which account for three. Moreover, the geographical environment of the park seems to be completely preserved, except for a few castles and small villages. That is why a 250 km walk in the park is popular with backpackers. Walking on this trail, in addition to fully feeling the wildness of the Scottish Highlands, there is still some relief for the Huaigu complex.

Stone-Ston, whose defensive walls have the reputation of "Europe's Great Wall of China", only an hour walk to visit the town! The ruins are broken, but the world is independent by the sea, and the beauty is crying. Here you can feel the residential houses in the old castle and maintain the medieval atmosphere of life.

Nice cruise trip. The water is black and there is a canal. Many souvenirs shops with cute Nessies.

We booked the 2.5 hour clansman & castle freedom cruise. This tour departed from Clansman Harbour to cruise across the dark waters of Loch Ness and 1 hour exploration of the Urquhart Castle ruins site. Great adventure! 👍🏻

The audio guide is pretty good—filled with a ton of interesting history. The grounds and the ruins of the abbey are beautiful. It’s kind of expensive considering it’s mostly just an audio guide of a building tax payers pay for, but the guides are helpful and I’d say it’s probably worth the money. Castle of Edinburgh is the far superior site, so definitely don’t go here instead, but if you have extra time in the city, it’s worthwhile. Note before you go: you can’t take photos inside the building.

Inverness Castle is the highest in Inverness. When you arrive at the accommodation, you will immediately run to the castle. The river bank is pleasant along the way. Speaking of the road, there are almost no people walking around. When you go to the castle, you will find it in the renovation. You have to go around and go down the block. By the way, use it. Europeans are very casual, many shops are playing foreign, find a home willing to receive me, buy a pair of rainbow rain shoes, so beautiful, it is the most worthwhile souvenir of my life (currently)^^

西溪老翁
St Andrews Cathedral, once known as Scotland's greatest medieval building, is now a ruin due to war and time, only a few ruins left us vaguely to see the gorgeousness of hundreds of years ago. The two spires of the ruins of the church have become iconic buildings in St Andrew. Although a relic, backed by the North Sea, the scenery is infinitely good.

Lovely place with a great 360 view on the city of Edinburgh down below. From one side you can see the Edinburgh castle and the Balmoral hotel, then if you keep turning on the left you can admire Arthur Seat in all of its glory. And you can spot the sea behind it.If you keep turning you can see up to Leith, the shore and then the all Firth of Forth.On sunny days you can see the isle of Inchkeith.And you can even spot the other side of the Forth Bridges.I would definitely suggest to come during the day and a second time to watch the sun set behind the castle.If you come on the 30 of April (with a ticket) you can witness the Beltane Fire Festival. A pagan celebration of the death of winter and the coming of spring/summer
