Scottish Culture &
Tradition
Scottish traditions are not something
sterile under glass and steel in a cold
museum. They are vibrant, living things,
constantly growing and evolving, and
every generation adds the thumbprint of
its own particular Scottish culture to the
whole.

4. Here are my Top 3
recommendations for the
Best Spots to Visit in
Scotland

5. #1 - The historic town of St. Andrews
❖ Located in the Kingdom of
Fife, St. Andrews is a seaside
town situated on The North
Sea that is home to one of the
best universities in the United
Kingdom (and alma mater of
Prince William), The
University of St. Andrews.

6. #1 - The historic town of St. Andrews:
Best known as the
birthplace of golf.
Its close proximity to the water means
that there are multiple beaches in St.
Andrews that you can visit, and the fact
that the town is really only three streets
wide means that it’s easy to get from
those beaches to the Old Course, which
is where the sport of golf originated.

7. #1 - The historic town of St. Andrews:
Also known as a
college town.
Because St. Andrews is a college town, there
are many delicious restaurants, great pubs
and a surprisingly high number of high-end
shops to visit - and I highly recommend
taking a walk to Castle Sands to see the ruins
of St. Andrews Castle, which has been in a
state of disrepair since the late 17th century,
when the Reformation in Scotland succeeded
and rendered the building useless.

8. #2 - Edinburgh
❖ Pronounced “Edinborough,”
this city has been the capital of
Scotland since 1437 and has
played a crucial role in the
historical, political and artistic
development of the country of
Scotland since it was
incorporated in the 12th
century.

9. #2 - Edinburgh:
Edinburgh has 2 distinct
personalities: The Old
Town and The New Town.
The Old Town is the oldest part of the
city and still retains most of its medieval
layout, so be sure to bring a map when
you’re visiting.

10. #2 - Edinburgh:
The Old Town
The Royal Mile is the name of the main
thoroughfare through the Old Town; it
used to be much steeper, but was leveled
off when the plague hit the city and
whole streets were paved over, trapping
sick Edinburghers in an underground
maze that you can still visit, although
many now claim it is extremely haunted.

11. #2 - Edinburgh:
The New Town
The New Town was built in the 18th
Century and is where much of the city’s
wealth is focused; Neoclassical and
Georgian architecture make this part of
the city feel more polished, and it is
where the main shopping centers are
located

12. ❖ Visit the New Town to see the beautiful pieces of art in
the National Gallery of Scotland and drink in any one of
the outcropping of new upscale bars and clubs that have
breathed new life into Edinburgh over the past few years.
#2 - Edinburgh:

13. #3 - Pitlochry
❖ Any number of websites will
tell you which places in the
Scottish Highlands to visit, but
I recommend stopping off in
the small fishing village of
Pitlochry before you travel all
the way North.

14. #3 - Pitlochry:
Pitlochry is surrounded
by mountains.
A picturesque burgh on the River
Tummell, Pitlochry is surrounded by
mountains (including Ben Vrackie and
Schihallion) and is most famous for its
dam and salmon ladder, which offer a
fascinating glimpse into the natural
habitat of Scottish wildlife.

15. #3 - Pitlochry:
“Scottish
wilderness”
Visit Pitlochry to get perspective on the
scope and breadth of the Scottish
wilderness, and while you’re there, get
yourself a fly fishing permit and spend
an afternoon reclining on the banks of
the River Tummell, fishing and drinking
Sloe Gin like a true Scotsman.
