It may be almost 5,000 miles (8,000 kilometres) between China and Scotland but it will be well worth the journey.
As a destination for leisure or business, Scotland has bountiful assets, with the drama and sheer variety of its built and natural heritage never failing to impress visitors. Scotland boasts an amazing range of landscapes, environments and buildings, offering visitors a perfect mix of both the traditional and the modern.
With its wide range of first class visitor attractions, events, festivals, world-class food and drink, culture and a reputation for being one of the friendliest places you’ll ever experience, Scotland is a great place to visit.
From historic castles, battlefields and the tranquility of the countryside to picturesque fishing villages, beautiful island beaches and lively cosmopolitan cities with top designer shops, Scotland has something to offer everyone.
Each of Scotland’s six cities has a character of its own but all guarantee their visitors a vibrant mix of history, culture and entertainment.
The cultural life is vibrant and non-stop, lasting throughout the year but culminating every August in the world’s largest and most famous arts festival, the Edinburgh International Festival and Fringe.
Excellent transport links including international airports and an extensive road and rail network will take you to all parts of the country, as well as elsewhere in the UK.
The food is fantastic and, of course, there is whisky – Scotland’s gift to the world and one of its leading exports. And you can be rest assured the 100 distilleries produce more than enough to meet the demand at home and many of them are open for you to visit and to sample the produce.
