Cultural Immersion in Scotland

Scotland is a beautiful and sparsely populated country with rolling lowland, dramatic mountains, lochs and many offshore islands. These days, Scotland's cities - which have always been considered a bit, well, gloomy - have become as popular as the pastoral countryside. The annual Edinburgh International Festival, which gets bigger and zanier every year, is one of the hottest arts tickets in Europe. With the opening in 1999 of its Parliament, Scottish politics is abloom as well.

Even with all that activity, Scotland has plenty of places to get away from it all. In the Highlands, you can walk for hours across misty moors and clamber up and down rocky slopes without seeing a soul, and only a shaggy Highland cow or a thread of smoke curling from a cottage chimney will dispel the feeling of blissful solitude. And when you're ready for company, you'll find it at friendly pubs and inns.
