Notes

Scotland is an awesome, beautiful country as long as you stay outside the larger towns & the cities. Not that a few of our cities aren't nice too, but if you visit the countryside anywhere in Scotland you'll find views comparable to the one in the picture. The lowlands, the highlands, the east & the west coast... the islands too, some you can travel to by car, some by ferry. There's something for everyone that enjoys the outdoors, whether you like mountainous panoramas or cozy little valleys with their own microclimate. Peat bogs, storm-tossed seas, heather covered hills, and hiking trails that make your lungs feel like they can finally, finally, breathe.
Bottled water from natural springs that leaves our tiny country and travels all over the world. The Whisky Trail if you fancy trekking & enjoy a dram, the lochs with their perfect mirror reflections or choppy wavelets depending on the weather.
Actual, for real, not touristy, ancient castles that you can visit (often with no charge attached, some with & some without tours) - many are now mini museums with a bonus dungeon & some truly bloody history. There're castle ruins too, standing stones, Iron Age brochs (round towers) dating back over 2000 years, there're even ruins dating back to the neolithic period that you can take yourself to.
I could go on about it forever. I love my country, warts, midgies, and all. It's a small place really - we've about 2/3rds of the population of London spread about our whole country, and it's only about 80k km2, but if you enjoy walking or wandering in the country then it's got sights & charm to spare :)
