Welcome to Scotland

(Fàilte ort a dh'Albainn)

Welcome to the "Gateway to Scotland", the best starting-point for information about Scotland on the Internet.

We look to Scotland for all our ideas
of civilisation -- Voltaire

These pages are intended to provide a gateway to Scotland; its geography, history, people, traditions and culture. In 1994, no-one was providing this information, so we decided to take the initiative. Much information is provided locally by ourselves, but there are also links to other providers of Scottish information. Please tell us if you think there is other information out there which we have missed.

Feedback

We welcome your comments and suggestions, but we do receive a huge amount of feedback, so please read this first.
