Where’s Wally Scotland Edition 💃🏼Can you guess where we are? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (Location will be revealed below! ⬇️ Leave your answer in the comments before reading on.) Situated in the historic India Buildings in Edinburgh’s Old Town, you won’t have to venture far to get your fill of food, culture, history, shopping or insta-worthy snaps. Take a stroll down Victoria Street which is right at your doorstep. Why not explore Edinburgh Castle only 5 minutes away. 2 minutes from soaking in the historic sights at the popular Grassmarket neighbourhood - everything you need, and then some, is here. So, where is this gorgeous location exactly? It’s @VirginHotelsEdi ❤️* Behind the red door in old town Edinburgh, just at the top of the famous Diagon Alley, you’ll find your next getaway in the center of Scotland’s capital city. Come for the historic Edinburgh views from their incredible rooftop terrace or rejoice at the vibe inside. Chambers and spaces that are so fun to spend time in, you’ll never want to check out. 💋 AD | PR Stay* #VirginHotelsEdi #Edinburgh #Drone

Ever wondered what it’s like to take the @Caledoniansleeper train from London to Scotland? 🧳🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🚉 Travelling with a little one 🧿can be rough, especially on multiple planes after a 12 hour journey from the States. Instead of adding another flight to our day, we decided to instead take the Caledonian Sleeper train up to Glasgow for a more comfortable trip home with wee man. From beginning to end our journey was lovely! We were greeted by the warmest staff who helped store all of our luggage and directed us to our cabin. We were staying in a Double Room, which was so cosy yet had plenty of room for a family of three. The cabin came with all the amenities you’d need for an overnight stay including Scottish luxury toiletries by @arransenseofscotland . We even had our own ensuite & sink, which allows you to stay in your cabin for the whole ride if you choose.   The Club Car was our second favourite area of the train - we ordered some delicious Scottish cuisine and even had a chance to try the exclusive Caledonian Sleeper Whisky commemorating the 150 Year Anniversary of the Scotland-London Sleeper services.   After a comfortable night’s sleep, we woke up to stunning views of the Scottish countryside during sunrise. We watched the scenery through our window while relaxing from the comfort of our bed then took a quick shower and got ready to head to breakfast. The Club Car serves a traditional Scottish Breakfast with haggis & black pudding but you also have the option to get your meal delivered to your cabin! This was the best way for our family to be welcomed back home in Glasgow and we couldn’t recommend it highly enough, especially if you’re in London this summer and looking to explore Scotland!   Tag us if you end up travelling with @caledoniansleeper we’d love to see your adventures too! #AD

Deep into the wild Highlands lies the expansive Loch Shin which, at 17 miles long, is the largest in Sutherland. It is not the water’s size that turns eyes towards Loch Shin, however, but the tiny cottage built atop an island just a little bigger than it. With rustic slate rooves and an old wooden door, the building’s origins are ripe for speculation. Signs by the shoreline explain the ‘real’ story as starting with whisky distiller Jock Broon being gifted the island by a local laird. Following a hunting accident, the land was split between Broon’s extensive family – including Henry, Daphne, Joseph, and Margaret. Eagle-eyed readers may notice that these names, coincidentally, are shared by the long-running comic strip family The Broons. In fact, locals built the house for a local Gala and decided it was not right to throw it away. And so a legend was born – one that continues fooling the media to this day! 📽️/📝: @thisglaswegianguy 📍: T H E W E E H O O S E 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 _____________________________ Don’t forget to follow @simply.scotland Share your adventures at: #simplyscotland Follow our adventures at @LaTravelGirl + @Craig_McStay _____________________________ #scotlandtrip #scotlandtravel #scotlandisnow #historicscotland #discoverscotland #explore _scotland_ #scotlandphotography #scotland _lover #scottishscenery #lovescotland #ilovescotland #meninkilts #thisisscotland #scotlandlover #explorescotland #hiddenscotland #scotlandsbeauty #instascotland #travel #scotlandpics #scotland #outlander #lallybroch #jamiefraser #midhopecastle #hopetounhouse
