Scotland is a land of legends. From mountain-top castles to kings in kilts, the picturesque country never fails to romance visitors. Rolling hills, fields of wildflowers, bagpipes and festivals are year-round fixtures, and stories of the Loch Ness Monster and Braveheart are recounted on Scotland flights and immortalised in the country’s history. Along with England, Northern Ireland and Wales, Scotland makes up the United Kingdom but its people remain independent. The Scottish parliament was formed in 1999, creating a new set of laws specific to Scotland and free from London’s reign.
The Scots are passionate people who remain steadfast to their country’s culture and steep traditions. The whiskey flows fast during the popular summer festivals, when many travellers book flights to Scotland to take part in the highland games or head to Edinburgh for cultural celebrations.

Scotland is surrounded by water on three sides and is often buffeted about by stormy weather. As a general rule, the east coast is cool and dry and the west coast milder and wetter. The weather varies, even in a day, but in general July and August are the warmest months (up to 20 degrees Celsius) and therefore peak season. May and June are nice too; weather is dry.
Peak Season:
The best time to book a flight to Scotland is during the summer months.
Shoulder Season:
Spring can be a beautiful time of year to visit. The weather can be mild and the countryside is starting to turn green again. Autumn can offer great weather. City breaks in Edinburgh and Glasgow are very popular and in more remote parts of Scotland the golden and red leaves can set the countryside ablaze.
Off Season:
The winter months can be wet, cold and dark and they get most of the snow that falls on the UK too. However, this is when legendary and world-famous Hogmanay takes place.

Public transport in the central belt (Glasgow across to Edinburgh) is reliable and efficient, but getting around the more remote areas of the Highlands and Islands, can take a lot of forward planning. Most train services are operated by FirstScotRail. Coach services are popular and reasonably priced. Rental car is an option. All the major car rental companies have branches here.
By boat: about 50 islands have ferry links. You can take a car on some of them. Book in advance however and be prepared for the weather to interrupt your journey.
Scotland has four main airports – Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Glasgow and Glasgow Prestwick – and other smaller airfields around the country which are linked up by carriers such as British Airways, Loganair, Highland Airways and Eastern Airways.
Scotland’s biggest airports are Edinburgh and Glasgow. Most international flights to Scotland fly to Edinburgh Airport (EDI). The flying time from Singapore Changi Airport (SIN) to Edinburgh Airport usually ranges from around 15h 35min to 21h 45min. You can fly to Glasgow International Airport (GLA) from Singapore Changi Airport in about 17h 20min to 25h 15min.
Unfortunately, direct flights from Singapore to Scotland are not currently available. You can get many options for cheap flights to Scotland with British Airways, with one stopover in London (LHR). If you are flying to Glasgow, you can find Scotland flight deals with KLM with a stopover in Amsterdam (AMS). For Edinburgh, there is also an option to fly with Qatar and stopover in Doha (DOH).
Trains link Scotland’s major cities as well as many of its villages. You can buy tickets from the station’s ticket office or from ticket machines. There are also passes you can get for a combination of public transport options in Scotland that will save you money on fares. Glasgow is the only city with a metro and it is called the ‘Clockwork Orange’. You can also travel by bus around towns and cities and by coach between them. Coach companies offer passes for multiple journeys. To visit the islands around Scotland, there are numerous ferry companies offering scenic boat trips. Finally, Scotland is fantastic for a road trip, so hiring a car is recommended to see the more remote sights and to appreciate the changing scenery.
The two main cities, Edinburgh and Glasgow, are both worth seeing. In Edinburgh, head up the hill to explore the Edinburgh Castle and then walk the Royal Mile, a cobble-stoned street through medieval buildings to the Palace of Holyroodhouse. Hike up to Arthur’s Seat for a panoramic view of the city, go scotch whiskey tasting or tour the Royal Yacht Britannia. In Glasgow, visit the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, walk the City Centre Mural Trail to see the urban art in lanes and alleys or take a stroll through Pollok Country Park where you can come face-to-face with a Highland cow. Beyond the cities, head to the Isle of Skye, a rugged island connected to the mainland by a bridge. Here, you can visit the Fairy Glen and cascading Fairy Pools, the iconic Eilean Donan Castle perched on a peninsula, the Old Man of Storr rock formation, Kilt Rock and Mealtfalls and the colourful seaside village of Portree. In the mountainous Scottish Highlands, visit the famous Loch Ness to try to spot the Loch Ness Monster, stop at Urquhart Castle or hike Ben Nevis, the UK’s highest mountain.
Singapore citizens do not need a visa to visit the United Kingdom for tourism for a stay of up to 180 days, but you must have at least six months validity on your passport on arrival in Scotland.
