Dunrobin Castle

Dunrobin Castle is the historic home of the Earls and Dukes of Sutherland. The earliest part of the building dates from around 1275.

There are more than 1,000 castles throughout Scotland, the earliest dating to the 11th century. While many Scottish castles stand in ruins today, others have been rebuilt and restored over the centuries, ending up as

residences or hotels.

 Spending a night in a castle is a thrill for many visitors, and

others enjoy the history,

stunning architecture, landscaped gardens and atmosphere of these regal estates.

Whisky Distilleries

Scotland has over 100 distilleries in the five different whisky

regions, each with their own distinct flavors.

Whisky production in Scotland is thought to date back several hundred years to when invading Romans brought the art of winemaking to the country.

The issue of a lack of grapes was dealt with in monasteries and farmhouses by substituting barley to make the first form of the distinctive spirit.

Whiskey, whisky and Scotch all refer to the same drink with the main difference being regionality and the country the whisky is produced in.

Royal Edinburgh

Military Tattoo

The word 'tattoo' comes from the early 17th-century Dutch phrase ‘doe den tap toe,' meaning ‘turn off the tap.’ Drummers or trumpeters sounded this signal to tell innkeepers near military garrisons to stop serving beer so that soldiers would return to their barracks.

This year The Tattoo Arena in Edinburgh will host performers from Norway, the United States, Australia, Trinidad and Tobago and Switzerland, alongside homegrown acts from across

the UK and Ireland.

As ever, the military will play a prominent role in the show,

with the Royal Air Force taking the lead. Audiences will also be treated to the wild skirl of the Massed Pipes and Drums supported by the Tattoo Dancers and Fiddlers.
