Scotland brings together lively cities, wide open landscapes, and a rugged coastline shaped by wind and sea. Well-known places like Edinburgh, Glasgow, the Isle of Skye, and Loch Ness reveal layers of history and culture, from medieval streets and castles to contemporary food and music scenes.
Yet some of the most rewarding experiences lie beyond the familiar route. Venture into the Highlands or the Outer Hebrides, where quiet roads, dramatic scenery, and a strong sense of place define the journey.
Rough Guides makes traveling in Scotland smooth and deeply personal. Our local experts shape each trip around what matters most to you, from walking and wildlife to whisky, history, and coastal escapes.

Things to know before your Scotland trip
What does a trip to Scotland look like?−
A Rough Guides Scotland itinerary might lead you from the historic streets of Edinburgh to the quieter corners of the Highlands, with time spent cruising along lochs and coastal roads framed by dramatic scenery.
You could dive into Glasgow’s creative energy, then head out to the Isle of Skye for sweeping landscapes and sea cliffs, or travel north to lesser-visited regions where winding routes pass through glens and remote villages.
Our trips combine classic Scottish highlights with places that feel more off the map, from little-known islands to peaceful valleys and rugged stretches of coastline.
