Travel

You can discover Scotland in a variety of ways. You can drive through spectacular landscape and be the only car on the road; discover the Shetland Islands by flying from Aberdeen; take the nostalgic steam train journey to Mallaig or a ferry from Oban to the island of Mull. You can even let the bus take the strain and your cycle across the mountains in the Cairngorms National Park.
