Visit Edinburgh

The capital of the Highlands, ten minutes from Loch Ness and the Culloden battlefield.

A castle on a crag above the battlefields of Wallace and Bruce — Scotland's history in one town.

The Granite City sparkles after rain; the gateway to Royal Deeside and the whisky trail.

The home of golf and Scotland's oldest university, with a ruined cathedral above the sea.

The seafood capital of Scotland and the ferry port for Mull, Iona and the Hebrides.

The V&A Dundee on the Tay and the RRS Discovery, Scott's Antarctic ship, in a reinvented waterfront.

Fortress on Castle Rock holding the Scottish crown jewels and the one o’clock gun.

Visit Belfast, capital of Northern Ireland. Explore the Titanic Belfast museum (interactive exhibits on the ship's construction and sinking), see the political murals and peace walls in the Falls and Shankill areas, stroll through the Botanic Gardens (home to the Palm House, a Victorian glasshouse), and enjoy a pint in the historic Crown Liquor Saloon (ornate Victorian pub with gas lighting).
