SCOTTISH HISTORY TOUR
Why not extend your holiday and take our optional four-day tour of Scotland too?
You’ll learn all about the origins of these famous symbols of Scotland:
- haggis: some say that this Scottish favourite \(meat and cereal cooked inside a sheep’s stomach\) originally came from Scandinavia;
- a bagpipe: used to frighten enemies with their terrible wailing sound, perhaps these musical instruments were brought to Scotland by the Romans;
- a kilt: worn by Scottish tribes because it allowed them to move easily, it was warm and it could also be used as a blanket;
- Irn Bru: caffeine high, sugar-laden fruit flavoured soda which is very popular in Scotland.
