The River Spey is renowned for being a top fishing spot.

Bridge of Orchy Bridge of Orchy is a landmark hamlet in Argyll, Scotland. Dating back to 1751, it includes a notable tourist hotel. Located at the head of Glen Orchy, it is on the A82 road, has a railway station and is on the West Highland Way long distance path. Nearby prominent peaks include the munros Beinn Dorain and Beinn an Dòthaidh. The village itself is in the central highlands. The eponymous bridge was constructed by Government forces as part of a program of pacification of the Highland Clans which involved the construction of military roads from the Lowlands into the much wilder upland areas of Scotland. It crosses the River Orchy, one of the finest white-water rivers in the United Kingdom.

Dundee Once heavily industrialized, Dundee is now developing exciting commercial, cultural, artistic, and scientific dimensions to take it forward into the 21st century. The city centre is a shoppers' paradise with the Murraygate, Wellgate and the magnificent glass- fronted Overgate shopping centers housing major department stores and retailers to suit all interests. Look out for City Quay, on the Dundee waterfront, where factory outlets aim to guarantee designer labels at low prices. The city's burgeoning cultural quarter is home to highly regarded Dundee Rep Theatre and Dundee Contemporary Arts centre while elsewhere visitors can enjoy an impressive range of galleries and museums covering a wealth of subjects. Even before its Victorian heyday, Dundee was an important centre and the city proudly remembers its long sea-faring and industrial heritage with the textile heritage centre at Verdant Works, Europe's Top Industrial Museum in 1999 while just across the city centre, on the bank of the River Tay, Captain Scott's famous Antarctic expedition ship RRS 'Discover' is berthed at the award-winning Discovery Point Visitor Centre.

Belmond Royal Scotsman - Grand Western Scenic Wonders (Westbound)(© www.palacetours.com) 3/8 Edinburgh As the capital city of Scotland, Edinburgh is a dynamic city offering two distinct sides: the medieval Old Town, where visitors can enjoy the well maintained architecture, and the New Town, offering classical Georgian architecture. Today, Edinburgh has grown into a major cultural centre, full of activities and events. The city's Castle proudly dominates the Scottish capital. There are one thousand years of history sitting on the top of the famous rock. Discover Princes Street, Scotland's greatest thoroughfare, where locals and visitors can enjoy numerous shops, restaurants and most of all, the spectacular panorama of the Old Town and the stately castle.

Keith Located in Moray on the Speyside Whisky Trail, Keith is an agricultural town situated on the River Isla, which came into existence in the 8th century. The town is today an important stop on the Speyide Malt Whisky Trail, with the Strathisla Distillery as its main attraction. Dating from 1786, Strathisla Distillery is the oldest working distillery in Scotland. As part of the Scottish heritage, the distillery activity is still a landmark of the city, and Keith and its near area offer four distilleries to visit. The town is made of two parts: the "Old Keith" which lies on the west side of the river and the "New Keith" on the east bank of the River Isla. The New Keith is a much larger settlement, set out in a very distinctive grid pattern. Until today, the textile industry has remained an important source of wealth for Keith. The Isla Bank Mills were a centre for the tweed industry until the 1990s. Visitors can discover the Keith Kilt School, a unique school where students are being taught the art of kilt making. The Scottish Tartans Museum is also a very interesting attraction.

Kyle of Lochalsh Visitors heading for the Isle of Skye will pass through Kyle of Lochalsh, from where the Skye Bridge traverses Inner Sound to Kyleakin. The bridge, opened on 16 October 1995, is a box-girder type with an approach viaduct and secondary bridge. The two piers' main span is 250 metres, and side spans 125 metres each, plus a 70-metre long viaduct and a secondary bridge spanning 26 metres. It has a controversial history, costing £30 million to build and did hold the dubious distinction of Europe's most expensive toll bridge. The toll was removed in December 2004 after much vigorous protest from islanders.

Spean Bridge Spean Bridge is a settlement in the Highland region of Scotland.The village takes its name from the bridge over the River Spean on General Wade's military road between Fort William and Fort Augustus, and not from Telford's bridge of 1819 which carries the A82 over the river at the heart of the village. Lying in the Great Glen, Spean Bridge has transport links north towards Inverness and south to Fort William, provided by the A82, and the A86 heads east to join the A9 at Kingussie. The village is served by the Spean Bridge railway station providing links to London, and between 1903 and 1933 it offered a branch line service to Fort Augustus.

The Isle of Bute The Isle of Bute is one of the islands of the lower Firth of Clyde in Scotland. Formerly part of the county of Buteshire, it now constitutes part of the council area of Argyll and Bute. Rothesay is the only town on the island, which is linked by ferry to the mainland. Bute is divided in two by the Highland Boundary Fault. North of the fault the island is hilly and largely uncultivated with extensive areas of forestry. To the south of the fault the terrain is smoother and highly cultivated although in the far south is to be found the island's most rugged terrain around Glen Callum. Loch Fad is Bute's largest body of freshwater and runs along the fault line. Architectural attractions on the island include the ruined twelfth century St Blane's Chapel, the eccentric Mount Stuart House, the Pavilion, Rothesay Castle, Ascog Hall Fernery and Gardens, Loch Fad, the Old Post Office and Scalpsie Bay. The island also has many herds of deer, rich bird-life and some large hares. Wild goat with large curled horns may be seen in the north of the island.
