There’s a lot to like north of the border

Scotland’s east coast stretches from the Scottish Borders to Aberdeenshire, flanked by the Grampian Mountains on one side and the North Sea on the other. Three of Scotland’s major cities – Aberdeen, Dundee and Edinburgh – are situated along a stunning coastline featuring historic towns, sandy beaches and picturesque fishing villages. The east coast railway line links these cities with regular services running all the way from Aberdeen to London, while airports in Aberdeen and Edinburgh provide both national and international connections.
