History, culture and nature. Discover the fascinating depths of travel in Scotland.
The United Kingdom (Great Britain and Northern Ireland) is made up of four countries: England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. This country, rich in tradition and culture, is full of deep travel attractions that you will never get tired of, no matter how many times you visit. If you have already stayed in English cities such as London and Manchester, why not try traveling to other countries next time?

Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, is a beautiful place designated as a World Heritage Site, and can be reached from London in just 1 hour and 30 minutes by plane or 4 to 5 hours by train. This stately city that still retains the appearance of the Middle Ages is dotted with historical sites such as Edinburgh Castle. Edinburgh is also famous as a gourmet city. Among them, "haggis", known as a traditional Scottish dish, is a must-try dish. It is a stuffed dish made from sheep's stomach, and is recommended to be enjoyed with whiskey. Edinburgh also has the "Scotch Whisky Experience", a museum where you can taste authentic Scotch whiskey and enjoy its history. If you like whiskey, you should definitely check it out. In addition, there are many other things to enjoy on a trip to Edinburgh, such as shopping and experiencing art. Why not stay for 2 to 3 nights and experience the deep charm of this city?
Of course, there is more to enjoy in Scotland than just city activities like Edinburgh. Another charm of this country is the amazingly beautiful nature that spreads out before you if you go a little further out into the suburbs. If you travel around Scotland, which is made up of about 800 islands, you will be overwhelmed by the dazzling panorama of nature that passes by the car window. Scotland is also the birthplace of golf. We recommend visiting the championship golf courses you admire, such as the Old Course St. Andrews and Royal Troon. Furthermore, Loch Ness, famous for the existence of Nessie, is one of Scotland's most famous attractions. It would be an interesting style of travel to visit the mysterious lake that you have admired since childhood and search for Nessie. In any case, a trip from England to Scotland will be an irreplaceable experience that will further deepen your understanding of the rich culture and history of the UK.
Wales and Northern Ireland Discover more of the UK.
After touring England and Scotland, you should also check out the remaining two countries, Wales and Northern Ireland, which each have their own unique travel attractions.
For example, Wales is a country of history and culture where numerous legends and stories live on. Located in the southwest of Great Britain and bordering England to the east, Wales is dotted with an astounding 400 ancient castles. Many of these castles are famous for their connection to King Arthur, a legend that has been passed down in Wales since ancient times. It is also surprising that the Welsh language, which is still spoken by many Welsh people today, is one of the oldest languages in the world. Wales is also dotted with three national parks and five Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, all of which are popular for their spectacular panoramas. The capital of Wales, Cardiff, is only about two hours by train from London, making it easy to visit.
Northern Ireland is the smallest of the four countries that make up the UK. However, this place offers a great deal of excitement that will overwhelm anyone who visits. The first place to visit in Northern Ireland is the Giant's Causeway and Causeway Coast, which was designated a World Heritage Site in 1986. The Giant's Causeway means "Giant's Stone Road," and it is said that this place is home to a legend related to the Irish giant Finn MacCool. The 40,000 stone pillars created by volcanic activity stand along the cliff coastline that stretches for about 8 km, making it truly spectacular. It is one of the spectacular views that you should see at least once in your life. In addition to this, Northern Ireland is dotted with historical monasteries, beautiful national parks, and other attractions. Be sure to explore the great charm hidden in this small country!
