City Tips - 3 Cities to Visit During Your Stay in Scotland

Scotland is a fascinating country. The landscape of the Scottish highlands is very unique and I quite enjoyed staying in Scotland.

But there were some cities that I enjoyed most while traveling through Scotland. So let me tell you my 3 favorite cities that you definitely have to visit on your Scotland trip.

Edinburgh


Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland and one of the biggest cities in Scotland. It is full of old buildings and it's a great place to see. The castle in the middle of Edinburgh is worth visiting while staying in Edinburgh.

Not only are there lots of old buildings but the atmosphere is great. It's just an exciting place. And if you are looking for some places to drink and to party then there are lots of them, Edinburgh alone has around 700 pubs.

Pitlochry


Pitlochry is a rather small town which is surrounded by mountains. It's situated between Inverness and Perth. It's not really big but there are a lot of things to see. You can go visit the nearby Queen's View from which you have an amazing view over the Scottish landscape. But you can also stay within the town and take a look at the dam where you can see salmons jumping up the river.

If you go to Pitlochry then be sure to also visit the Moulin Inn, a 300 year old pub (it is about 1 mile to the north of Pitlochry).

Inverness


I also enjoyed staying in Inverness, it's also called the capital of the Highlands. It's one of the bigger cities in Scotland and has a river running through it. You can take some nice walks along the river. You can also always follow the river to the harbor where you can take a boat tour to see some wildlife such as dolphins (it's a special sort of dolphin).

As always if you visit Inverness then be sure to stop by some pubs.
