Lowlands • Scotland
While you might know a bit about Edinburgh with its castle, I’m betting you may not know about places like Kirkcudbright, Melrose Abbey or East Neuk.
Tune into this jam-packed episode on the Lowlands of Scotland as I think you’ll find yourself adding some destinations to that Scottish bucket list. I know I have!
Bo Fraser, a Blue Badge guide with the Scottish Tourist Guides Association, is our guest. And she is going to have you dreaming of the Scottish Lowlands and making plans to travel here in the near future.
From the cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow to LOTS of beautiful castles to coastal fishing towns to abbey ruins to long distance trails to golf to dark sky parks to Robert Burns to Outlander and Monty Python … whew! There is so much to experience in this under visited part of Scotland. You’ll wonder why these destinations aren’t already on your list.
And Bo, a St Andrews native, knows so much about her home country. So you are going to learn a lot about the Lowlands of Scotland.
