 The area
described as Central Scotland is the very heart of Scotland
with spectacular and varied scenery. Here are well-preserved
medieval towns and castles, royal residences and battle sites.
The Trossachs are a unique and beautiful area of high peaks,
steep-sided glens, dramatic lochs and forests. To the east is
the kingdom of Fife, with coastal fishing villages, sandy beaches
and golf links. Glasgow is set on the banks of the mighty river
Clyde and is Scotland's largest city. It was named European City
of Culture in 1990. Edinburgh however is the showcase capital
of Scotland. It is a cosmopolitan and cultured city, perched
on a series of extinct volcanoes and rocky craggs, with the sheltered
shoreline of the Firth of Forth to the north. |
