Caledonian Tours in Scotland

Ancient Romans gave Scotland the Latin name Caledonia. Scotland today provides beauty and variety to visitors from the rolling hills of Dumfries and Galloway to the mountains of the Cairngorms in the Highlands by way of Edinburgh's Georgian townhouses. Cosmopolitan and modern cities intermingle with ancient castles and monuments rooted firmly in the past. The cultural emphasis of the Edinburgh Festival coexists with the tranquility of sandy beaches, country parks and outstanding nature reserves.
