Scotland is a place of stunning landscapes, fascinating history, and warm, welcoming people. To help you prepare for your journey, I’ve put together some friendly tips and advice, inspired by both my work and my love for this beautiful country.
- Dress for Adventure:
- Whether it’s the rolling hills of the Highlands or Edinburgh’s cobblestone streets, Scotland’s scenery is breathtaking but requires practical clothing. Think layers, a waterproof jacket, and sturdy shoes.
- Savor the Local Cuisine:
- Treat yourself to classic dishes like haggis, Cullen skink (a hearty soup), and whisky for a real taste of Scotland. Tipping isn’t mandatory but appreciated 10–15% is perfect.
- Explore at Your Own Pace:
- Driving on the left can be a bit of a challenge at first, but it’s worth it for the freedom to explore our rugged countryside. In cities like Edinburgh, walking or taxis are more convenient.
- Must-See Sights:
- From Edinburgh Castle to the Isle of Skye, Scotland is full of iconic landmarks. Let me know if you’d like suggestions for the best photography spots I’ve got plenty to share!
As someone who captures Scotland’s beauty for a living, I promise you there’s no shortage of moments worth framing here. Whether it’s the mist over the Highlands, the historic charm of Edinburgh, or the vibrant colors of our lochs and glens, Scotland will leave you with unforgettable memories—and plenty of photos to cherish.
I hope you’re as excited about this journey as I am to share my home with you. If you’re looking for someone to help capture your adventures, I’d be honored to be part of your story.
Warm regards,
Alex
