Scotland is more than just bag pipes and haggis. Edinburgh, the capital is the commercial centre and also culturally prominent.You can do all the regular sporting activities like hiking and biking but Scotland also offers Highland Games. As a spectator or participant, these are loads of fun and comprise of Tossing the Caber, Tug-O-War and other games. Piping and Highland Dancing usually accompany the festivities.The Wallace Monument (the same William Wallace from Braveheart) is one of many monuments and ruins to visit.Speaking of historical sites, every golfer should play one round at St. Andrews, the oldest course and ‘home’ of the game with the silly pants. If you are looking for something silly, see if you can spot the Loch Ness Monster in the lake of the same name.Neeps and Tatties might sound like something you would see in a strip show but are just turnips and potatoes. Cock-a-leekie is just a soup.Perhaps you should stick to drinking. Wine tours are for sissies, go on a whisky holiday. There is no time like the present to learn the difference between single malt, single grain and blended whisky. You will be paying for your festivities in Pounds, Sterling of course.If you can’t decipher their English, try your luck at Gaelic.Scotland is on the same landmass as England and takes up the northern bit of the island.
