Hello, and welcome to Scotland Info, your guide to the Highlands, Islands and Mainland of Scotland.
Scotland Info is a practical guide with a focus on the Highlands and Islands but we also include the other stunning parts of Scotland. The authors of the site both live in the UK, one in the Inner Hebrides and the other one in the north of England.
Our passion is Scotland, we love this wild, unspoilt and stunningly beautiful country, and we are keen to share it with you.
Your Personal Scotland Guide
Despite the somewhat changeable weather we have here, Scotland is a great place to live in and to visit. We have a fascinating history, a stunning landscape, the best whisky distilleries in the world, the most beautiful castles, breathtaking islands, clean oceans and most of all friendly and very welcoming locals. No matter where you go, the Scots will welcome you and make you feel at home. Where do you find that nowadays? Our guide shows you how Scotland really is, we make no false promises, we are also not an agency, we just want to prepare you properly so you can have a great time when you’re over. That’s why we took many pictures and wrote articles with practical info so you know what to expect when you’re here.
During our many trips we’ve had the pleasure to visit many Scottish Castles and Abbeys, met many people, see many villages and towns, climb many hills, had a dram or two in the distilleries and in the process we took over 40,000 pictures. Our motto is: “A picture says more than a thousand words” hence the thousands of pictures you will find on our site. I hope you enjoy your virtual Scotland tour. If you have any questions or suggestions please get in touch.
