  • Impressive ruins, but most famous for the “Declaration of Arbroath”, Scotland’s eloquent charter for independence, a copy of which is on show.

  • A bright white castle, impressive in terms of size, location and contents (the Bonnie Prince left his gloves and pipe here, (see Blair Castle) ).

  • A village of great charm and character, with its restored historic street, the noble ruins of its 14th-century cathedral and gorgeous riverside walks.

  • Two outstanding examples of engineering, one a red giant of Victorian muscle, the other a modern suspended thread. Best seen lit up at night.

  • A knife-cut glen of wild scenery. Drive to the end for the best walks, or plan a long trek to Lochnagar and Loch Muick – tough hiking, but sensational.

  • Very picturesque glen noted for its rare plants. At the end, a former drove road climbs to give wonderful views from Monega Hill and Glas Maol.

  • Killiecrankie

    The combined attractions of a famous battle site and an idyllic river gorge. Admire the famous Soldier’s Leap, but don’t try it! Queen Victoria loved this spot (and she was famously hard to please).

  • Internationally-important tidal basin and mecca for seafowl and waders. In autumn 35,000 pink-footed geese stop here to refuel during their southward migration.

  • It’s hard to believe just how fascinating boats, nets and fish can be. First-class overview of the history of the fish supper.

  • Voted “European Industrial Museum of the Year”, this is an invigorating presentation of the jute industry, the material upon which Dundee founded its urban economy.
