Scotland is a beautiful country with diverse scenery ranging from rugged coastlines to rolling hills and mountains. The landscape varies greatly from region to region, with the northern coasts featuring cliffs that drop sharply into the sea and the southern areas characterized by green farmland and forests. Iconic sites include the picturesque Isle of Skye, the dramatic landscapes of Glen Coe and Loch Ness, and the capital city of Edinburgh which sits on hills overlooking the Firth of Forth.
