Scotland’s rich and tumultuous history offers endless opportunities for exploration – not just its recent past within the UK, but many centuries as a country in its own right. Scottish History Weekends is here to help you explore inspiring and extraordinary highlights from Scotland’s past. Travel writers and historians Helen and Neil Matthews have selected 26 Scottish places with wonderful examples of natural, architectural, industrial or cultural heritage. Some are neglected or under-rated and deserve more attention. Others are famous locations waiting to be enjoyed from new perspectives. From the Prehistoric era, through ancient, medieval, Tudor, Regency and Victorian times to the 20th century, there’s plenty to discover. As well as detailed descriptions of the sites, Scottish History Weekends includes suggested itineraries, directions and top tips for accommodation and eating out. |
