Scotland

Scotland is a small and friendly northern European country of around 5 million people. We are part of the United Kingdom, but we have our own devolved parliament based in the capital, Edinburgh, and our own very distinctive culture.

So what makes Scotland so different? There are some things that are uniquely Scottish but in truth, there's no single element that defines the country. Rather, it's a subtle blend of many different ingredients that have been added to the mix down through the centuries. From majestic glens and tranquil lochs to exciting concerts and pulsing city night-life, Scotland offers an unrivalled range of things to see and do. There are exceptional leisure facilities, including some of the world’s greatest golf courses, stunning mountain walks and thrilling water sports centres.

Scotland's often turbulent past, extraordinary people, rich diversity of arts and culture, and the many other features found around the country have produced a nation that treasures its past and keenly anticipates its future. As well as being a popular destination for students, Scotland is a fantastic place to live and work. Scotland offers leading companies from around the world a high-quality business location, together with an exceptional quality of life. Scotland's traditions, history and culture are known around the world, and are studied at many leading universities in Europe, North America and Australasia. The country boasts international airports at Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Prestwick in Ayrshire, as well as several regional airports. There are also good rail and road links across the country, and an exceptional range of accommodation and visitor attractions.
