Introduction
It boasts a rich culture, haunting highlands and the world's finest whisky; the only thing not in favour of Scotland is that horrible weather. Weather aside, Scotland is a land brimming with energy and life. And you don't have to set foot into a pub and be greeted with a warm atmosphere from its friendly occupants to realize this. Just journey into the renowned and haunting Highlands and you'll be surrounded by the wild energy of nature itself. Or perhaps going along to a sports match (be it Gaelic football or traditional soccer) will give you a profound sense of the vigour with which the Scots live their lives. In fact, no matter where you go, be it the rugged Highlands or Edinburgh (the country's most popular city, and with good reason), you can count on a re-energizing experience, one that even the rain won't be able to dampen.
