Scottish whiskeys and, of course, bagpipes and kilts immediately come to mind. Until the 18th century, Scotland was a separate kingdom. Scotland is currently part of the UK. Very often the question arises of what the Scots have more, similarities or differences with the British. Scotland is very different from England and Ireland. The territory of this country has approximately 790 islands, it is an amazing fact that 130 of these islands are considered uninhabited. The symbol of Scotland is a unicorn - a mythical animal that symbolizes wisdom, spiritual purity and happiness. All these qualities are very close to the whole Scottish people.

capital of Scotland, Edinburgh, like Rome, is located on 7 hills. This city has a huge number of architectural buildings. Under the streets of the capital are underground chambers called Edinburgh Vaults. It is believed that in these places there are ghosts. It is especially scary at night, when the city lets go of most paranormal ghosts and ghouls from prison to walk around the Old Town.
The largest congestions of evil spirits can be seen in Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle. This is where you can “have fun” to celebrate Halloween, go to the cemetery and see the ancient gallows. And a private guide dressed up in one of thematic costumes can tell you about murders, tortures, witches, body - kidnappers and ghosts at your request. And who knows what you will encounter while visiting cemeteries and walking around the night city.
