Scotland has got way more going for it than just kilts and bagpipes. The country is seeping in history and has miles upon miles of gorgeous landscapes. It is home to a relatively diverse terrain, complete with tall mountains, several islands, sea-side cliffs, and lush forests. The geography makes for an absolutely stunning country and a perfect setting for photos.

Great Highland Bagpipe.
To the make of a piper go seven years of his own learning and seven generations before. If it is in, it will out, as the Gaelic old-word says; if not, let him take to the net or sword. At the end of his seven years, one born to it will stand at the start of knowledge, and leaning a fond ear to the drone, he may have parley with old folks of old affairs. Playing the tune of the “Fairy Harp” , he can hear his forefolks, plaided in skins, towsy-headed and terrible, grunting at the oars and snoring in the caves ; he has his whittle and club in the “Desperate Battle” ( my own tune, my darling ! ), where the white-haired sea-rovers are on the shore, and a stain’s on the edge of the tide ; or, trying his art on Laments, he can stand by the cairn of Kings, ken the colour of Fingal’s hair, and see the moon-glint on the hook of the Druids !
