Palace of Holyroodhouse which has a rich history and a humble beginning, founded as a monastery in 1128. This was also the home of Mary Queen of Scots for a short period in the mid sixteenth century. If you are looking for a fairy-tale take in Crathes Castle which has everything that is expected of a castle including a turrets and walled garden. And of course Edinburgh Castle which has been home to numerous Scottish Kings and Queens. This is where the Scottish crown jewels are housed. Be sure to take in some of the most breathtaking view of the city from the Castle. If your travel plans only allow you to visit one castle, make it this one.

For the freemason in your group or for anyone who has read The Da Vinci Code, The Rosslyn Chapel is a must see. If the sorted history and myths that surrounds the chapel are not enough to excite you, the architecture should be more than enough to lure you.
Don?t pass up the opportunity to visit Loch Ness. Not only will you be able to visit a charming town, but you may even catch a glimpse of Nessie.
If you have a couple of shoppers in travel your travel group, plan a couple of days in the capital city of Edinburgh. With world class shopping and eatery?s it is a great place to wrap up your perfect Scotland vacation.
