Scotland

Loch Ness

It isn`t the most beautiful, but it’s the most frequently visited lake in Scotland, due to successfully supporting legend about it. Thus, there is the end of this mystery from this day on. It’s the 18-meter long common water snake, which is living in a lake and I saw it with my own eyes. But it was moving too fast and I didn’t manage to take its photo from the going car (the route is built along the lake). If you have a chance to visit this place and you decide to drop in museum of Loch Ness miracle, don’t do it any way! You’ll lose half an hour and 11 pounds for two. We also have legends about Zmey Gorynich, but I haven’t seen any of his museums yet.

Edinburgh

I am delighted by this city! It was one of Scots, who said that Paris could become such a city, if it hadn’t been spoiled. This is one of the most romantic and inspiring cities in the world. When you walk along the streets (especially in the early dusk), there is a feeling that you are in a fantastic city. One of its shrouds is the Edinburgh Castle which is very beautiful outside, and extremely interesting and intricate inside.
As I wrote before, I traveled with my beloved wife, and so, a beautiful conclusion of the day was going to Edinburgh Witchery restaurant situated 100 meters away from the castle. Attention! The restaurant must be booked two weeks in advance. In our case delicious food, romantic atmosphere, and two bottles of good wine played their role.
It is better to stay in one of two hotels: Balmoral 5 * or Hilton Caledonian 5 *; in both of them you should book a room overlooking the castle. In addition to the view they are bigger and better. We chose a budget option: Hilton Caledonian.

Glasgow

The worst town during our travel, there is nothing to see nor to do here, it looks like Frankfurt  a business city. It was the only place where we came back to the hotel at 8 pm. Fortunately the hotel rooms in Hilton Grosvenor are large and beautiful. However for the 1st time here we saw the Scottish pounds released by private banks: Royal Bank of Scotland, Halifax bank of Scotland, Clydesdale Bank (they are accepted in Scotland equally with English pounds).

Loch Lomond, Loch Katrin
