The
'real' Scotland starts right at the Southern border.
The accents change in the shops and even the beers
in the pubs have different names. This is one
of the ways the locals differentiate themselves
from the rest of the country. Also the scenery
changes dramatically as you pass from England
to Scotland. Rich, rolling farmland, rugged sea
coasts and islands characterise the south of Scotland.
It's a land of ancient abbeys, castles and historic
houses. It also has some strong literary connections,
with both Robert Burns and Sir Walter Scott having
lived here.
Then there are the forests and wild moors of upland
Galloway and the vivid greens of Ayrshire's rich
pastures, with the steep mountainous profile of
the island of Arran as a backdrop. Wherever you
travel here, you can be sure of a real Scottish
experience. Imagine standing on the cliffs at
Scotland's most southerly point, breathing the
fresh ocean air, watching as seabirds glide below,
listening to the crash of the waves and looking
out to the horizon and seeing Ireland, England and the Isle of Man, silhouetted against the setting
sun.
