The wildlife Scotland is home to a plethora of different fauna. Deer, highland cows, otters, puffins, red squirrels, seals, whales and dolphins are all some of the native wildlife that is possible to see. And if you’re lucky enough during your time in Scotland, you might catch a glimpse of the Scottish wildcat which is notoriously difficult to spot!

Finally, we have to give a shout-out to Scottish beers. With the recent rise in the popularity of craft beers, Scotland is now home to over 100 craft breweries. Back in 1970, there were only 11 breweries in the country!
