Scotland is part of the United Kingdom and not England. It is important to remember this since the Scots are very nationalistic and do not like much being part of the United Kingdom as well as various graffiti scribbled across the country will remind you. To call them English or to say something related to England will cause deep offense in Scotland.

Scotland ’s complex history is the boundaries between the two are blurred. Often clans and sects who have not forgotten what the others did to them 300 years ago tend to settle scores on the football field since actual murder means 14 years without option. A typical example is the fierce rivalry between the Protestant Glasgow Rangers and the Catholic Glasgow Celtics. As a visitor, it is advisable not to get into bitter feuds that go back many centuries. So, we suggest you that do not get into any arguments and discussions about football and religion.

Weather is not predictable of Scotland. The best time to visit Scotland is between May and September and even then there are no guarantees that it will be warm and would not rain. Unlike in England, the bad weather means mist, dark clouds and rain has a unique charm of its own against the dramatic backdropes of the Scottish mountains.

Scotland’s fine Scotch malt whisky is produced in distilleries in some of the most picturesque settings, close to the natural ingredients on which their unique flavour depends. So, when you go on the malt whisky trail, you do not just discover whisky but also the best Scotland has to offer Highland scenery, beautiful coastline and attractive towns and villages.

The travel agent’s duty is to see that clients wishing to travel to another country require a passport and that it is valid for the entire trip.Validity of passport is very important as some countries insist that the client’s passport must be valid for 6 months beyond his stay in that particular country.

The agent should advise that clients holding joint passport must travel together.For example if a mother and child are traveling to Europe, the mother would not be able to go to the USA leaving her child behind because the child will not have any proof of legal entry into Europe and therefore would not be able to leave without the mother.
