A few weeks ago, I celebrated my birthday in Scotland where we spent three nights in Edinburgh and one night in Glasgow. It was our first time to travel to Scotland and seeing the castle, palace and historic buildings in real life was a dream come true. For me, one should not miss the Edinburgh Castle, the National Museum of Scotland and the Palace of Holyroodhouse when traveling to Edinburgh while I highly recommend visiting the Glasgow Cathedral and the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum (free entrance) when visiting Glasgow. Below are some of my travel tips and as always, feel free to comment on the comment section below of your own travel tips.
