SCOTLAND’S BEST starts with essential TRIP-PLANNING information and an overview of key REGIONS and DESTINATIONS to help you decide where to go.

A hand-crafted ITINERARIES section then offers first-timers a good way to start exploring key cities and many of its regions.

The app also groups Scotland’s finest sights and attractions by INTEREST and ACTIVITY so no-one misses a highlight they'll love. So if it’s HISTORY or WHISKY you’re after; or you want to travel in LUXURY or with KIDS, you can be sure you'll get a good heads-up.

Other categories here include ART, CASTLES, GOLF, HIKING, NATURE, OUTLANDER SCOTLAND, STATELY HOMES & GARDENS, MOUNTAIN BIKING and SIKING. Some come with extensive background info designed to help you appreciate Scotland that little bit more as you travel around.

Finally, a FOOD & DRINK section provides a run-down of Scottish food and suggests some places you wouldn't want to miss.
