For a relatively small country the variations in landscape and climate within Scotland is truly remarkable.The phrase "4 seasons in one day" could have been coined to refer to the Scottish weather where conditions can be dramatically different at the same time from one side a the valley to the other.

The effects of the Gulf stream serve to keep the climate temperate, but extremes of weather are prevalent, particularly in the Highlands, where one can see snow capping some the highest mountains almost all year round.

Similarly the landscape can change dramatically within the space of a few miles.Rolling hills can soon give way to soaring mountains and then dramatic coastlines will come into view.

Scotland is a fascinating and ancient land full of history and awesome natural beauty. Much of the country was once covered by the Caledonian forest and today almost three quarters is occupied by uncultivated peat bog and rocky outcrops.

Today the bulk of the population live along the central belt of Scotland which is bordered by the historic cities of Glasgow on the West Coast and Scotland's capital city of Edinburgh on the East Coast.
