Scotland Things to Do

The Scots are a hardy bunch. The landscape they inhabit is wild and harsh, especially during those northern winters; those who live on the islands are particularly close to nature in all its beauty and wrath. But in summer, there are long, halcyon days of sunlight and outdoor activities in spectacular landscapes: walking, sailing, swimming, and island-hopping. If you decide to make the trek—and it is well worth it—here are a few of the best to visit.
