What are major landmarks in Scotland?

Answer 1

Hi. I'm an American but have lived in Scotland for two years and have been back a couple of times. I'll try and go from South to North for the landmarks.

Krilsus- thx so much this page helped a lot with my project I'm doing on Scotland, i wanna move there when i grow up! my relatives live there.

1) Hadrians Wall. A wall built by the Romans to keep the fearsome Picts from coming out of the North(Scotland). It composes most of the present day English/Scottish border. I thought it was fascinating. Also beautiful countryside.

2) Edinburgh Castle in the heart of Edinburgh on Princes Street. Said by many to be one of the most beautiful streets in the world. I wouldn't doubt it. It sits up high on a hill overlooking Scotland's capital. Very Beautiful.

3) Loch Lomond. On the West side north of Glasgow. Songs and poetry written after it's beautiful landscape. The whole Highlands of Scotland are definitely worth seeing.

4) St Andrew's on the East Coast near Dundee. Supposedly the birth place of Golf. The countryside alone makes it worth visiting.

5) John O'Groats. The very tip of mainland Scotland.

6) Orkney Islands. Out of the way travels but they contain a lot of stone age relics and stone circles slightly similar but no less impressive then Stonehenge in England.

I'm afraid I've only touched lightly on the landmarks. Scotland has so many historical sights it would take up a lot more room than this. Be glad to ramble on more if you have more specific questions.
