Take time to ramble around our towns and villages, for a truly Scottish experience. Examples of almost every kind of built heritage can be found, from the mysterious souterrains from before the time of the Picts, through the medieval might of our ecclesiastical buildings, to the 17th and 18th century town houses lining our streets.

 

Graceful Victorian parks and gardens, charming pavilions and follies, doocots and steadings, a bit of exploration will reap rewards.
