EditorsRough Guides asked its readers to vote for the most beautiful country in the world – and it’s hardly surprising to hear that Scotland came right on top. After all, Scotland travel is hard to match for as the guide says – who can deny that these wild beaches, deep lochs and craggy castles are some of the most wonderful and beautiful sights in the world?
So the readers have chosen Scotland as their number one, but what about the rest? Scotland beat Canada, Finland, New Zealand and other stunning countries to emerge as the favourite. The Scottish Highlands, the gorgeous Isle of Skye, the famous Loch Ness, the highest peak on the British Isles, Ben Nevis – Scotland travel has something for everyone!
Malcolm Roughead, Chief Executive of VisitScotland said, “From our awe-inspiring landscapes to our remarkable historic attractions, to our bustling but beautiful urban centres, Scotland takes people’s breaths away. Of course with great beauty comes great responsibility and we urge both visitors and residents alike to respect Scotland’s natural assets to protect and preserve them for many generations to come.”
