countries. It is a land of history, of wild and
rugged coastlines, deep valleys and lakes,
towering peaks and remote islands. It is also a land
shaped by its people, with their own language and
way of life.

Yet, as part of the United Kingdom, it is also


a modern and safe country with diverse and
modern cities, good transport links and some great
food, drink and accommodation options.

III - Speciality
When visiting Scotland, it is
impossible not to enjoy the world most
famous Scotch whiskey. It is one of
Scotland's top exports.

whisky distilleries operating in
Scotland. All Scotch whisky must be
aged in oak barrels for at least three
years.

Depending on which region, Whisky is distilled,
the taste will be different. In the Lowland region,
close to England, the whisky is clearer and has a
lighter taste, while that produced on the island of
Islay is peaty and has a strong flavour.

And Scotch whisky tourism has developed


around the industry, with distilleries being
the third most visited attraction in
Scotland…
Glenlivet whisky distillery, Minmore, Scotland.
