For foodie travelers, attend Fife Food & Drink Week (March 9–17) and St Andrews Cocktail Week (March 15–24). The festivals showcase the best food and beverages in Scotland. Spend time exploring the popular and off-the-beaten-path distilleries throughout the country, including Hendrick’s Gin, NB Distillery and Johnny Walker Princes Street.

 

Scotland is known for its stunning castles. During your stay, plan visits to Edinburgh Castle, Dunnottar Castle and Dunrobin Castle. Scotland’s rugby team faces off with Wales, France and England in February. Head to a pub to catch the games.
