  Scotland Map   Get Active  
  Scotland on the map   Get active in Scotland!
 
  Enchanted with Scotland but not sure where everything is? How far away is Glasgow from Edinburgh? Where is Islay? Check out our interactive map of Scotland and get a feel for the place. With over 790 islands, thousands of lochs but only one lake, and the highest mountain in the British Isles, Ben Nevis, you’d be forgiven for not being a geography expert on the Scotland. Let our map show you the way.
  Enjoy peaceful hills, mysterious lochs and picturesque waterfalls this spring. Join our many hiking festivals: Caithness & Sutherland Walking Festival, WalkFest in Galloway, or Ballater Royal Deeside Walking Fest near Balmoral, holiday home of the Queen. Who knows who might join you for some ceilidh dancing in the village hall afterwards!

   Traditional Music in May    Looking for an outdoors adventure?
 
  In the Scottish isles, tap your feet to some fantastic traditional tunes at the Orkney Folk Festival or the 30th Shetland Folk Festival.

There are so many more exhilarating activities: sailing, canyoning, mountain biking, rock climbing, horse riding and even windsurfing!
