Scotland: Enjoy the Highlands, Lake District, Seaside and Castles!

1. Drink a glass of homemade whiskey: Glengoyne Distillery

Every day, many visitors from all over the world visit the Distillery and, in addition to learning about the legendary history of Glengoyne Distillery, they will also follow the footsteps of the “Distillery” to see how a single malt is fermented, secondary distillation, oak barrel brewing, and finally become the amber syrup in our glass.

Of course, the greatest pleasure is to participate in the whisky making course, and personally mix a bottle of your own whiskey, after the distiller’s certification and signature, sealed the bottle to take away.

3. Loch Lomond, Scotland’s largest lake

Lake Ramon is a must for tourists and a place for local tourists to relax. In addition to driving along the lake, a boat ride on Sweeney’s Cruises is perhaps the best way to see the water.

The cruise ship leaves the dock and heads to the central area of the lake for a one-hour loop tour with magnificent views of the lake and the many Loch Lomont mansions and castles along the shoreline. It is said that Michael Jackson and Frank Martin both have lakeside mansions, looking at the elegant buildings and rolling mountains on both sides, like a giant high-class gray painting.

7. Leisure time in a seaside town, Oban

Open-air seafood lodges near fishing harbors, known as Local Shellfish, are first place to eat freshly landed seafood. About 300 yuan can eat so much seafood seen in the picture, enough for 3-4 people to enjoy together, is definitely very satisfied.

The town has its own idle holiday style, the busy road on the seaside, the buildings on the hillside, and even the seagulls on the top of the boat do not care about the tourists’ onlookers.

8. Inveraray Castle, one of the locations where Downton Abbey was filmed

From the small town of Oban to Inveraray Castle is something to look forward to, not only because it has been the home of Scotland’s most prominent family for generations, but also because Inveraray Castle is an iconic attraction of the Campbell Family of the Duke of Argyll and is also one of the filming locations of the TV series Downton Abbey.

Interestingly, on the way to Inverurie Castle you pass Urquhart Castle, another dilapidated castle on Loch Ness. Now all that remains of the site is its ruins, including a five-storey tower that has nearly collapsed, and the tranquil lake and mountains hide its former glory as a battleground, said to be one of the largest ancient castles in Scotland.

Inverurie Castle from the exterior to the gardens, from the interior decoration to the soft furnishings is still magnificent as new. The palatial interior design and household items remind people of the luxurious lifestyle of that time, while the various weapons on the walls demonstrate the status and majesty of the place.
