United Kingdom
Scotland
An old capital on a volcano, and a Highland north of sea lochs, whisky and islands.
Destinations
Edinburgh
A medieval spine running down from a castle on a plug of volcanic rock, with a Georgian grid alongside.
Isle of Skye (Portree)
Black basalt ridges, sea cliffs and more visitors than the single-track roads were built for.
Islay
A low green island of nine working distilleries, 3,000 people and 50,000 wintering geese.
Things to do
Up Arthur's Seat before breakfast
251 metres of extinct volcano, forty minutes up, and the whole city and the Forth laid out at the top.
The Quiraing circuit
Seven kilometres through a landscape still slowly moving downhill; start early, because the car park fills by nine.
Three distilleries on foot
Ardbeg, Lagavulin and Laphroaig sit within five kilometres of each other along one coastal path — walk it, for obvious reasons.
Accommodation & restaurants
EuropeDoor lists neither, yet. Both are business listings rather than editorial entries: they need an operator who claims them, a verification tier and a way to keep prices current, and all three are blocked on the same thing as everything else commercial here. How listings will work · what is built and what is blocked.
Publishing a scraped hotel list would be quick and would be the first unverified thing on this site. That is the trade being refused.
The record
What this atlas holds about Scotland. The counts are derived from the region's own destinations and move when it does; the seasons and the daily cost belong to United Kingdom and are repeated here rather than looked up.

Food, events and practicalities are on the country page
They belong to United Kingdom rather than to Scotland, and repeating them on every region page is how two copies of a fact start disagreeing. United Kingdom →
