Central Scotland and the area around Edinburgh are some of Scotland's most beautiful. The area is home to the Trossocks National Park and Loch Lomond as well as the metropolitan cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh. There are great courses for golfers and plenty of historical sites such as Edinburgh Castle, Stirling Castle and Bannockburn.
