Today Scotland is celebrating St Andrew’s Day and thanks to Trafalgar we’ve listed three reasons to celebrate the land of castles, kilt, lochs and legends.
1. Edinburgh Festival
Edinburgh
2017 sees the 70th anniversary of the internationally acclaimed Edinburgh Festival. What better way to celebrate than seeing the Edinburgh Military Tattoo with the best seats in the house next August?
The 7 day Best of Scotland starts in Edinburgh, includes tickets to the Tattoo and then traverses the Highlands and central Scotland before finishing in Glasgow.
