Whisky Regions of Scotland
Just as France has its wine regions, Scotland has its whisky regions. Each one produces whiskies of various qualities which, even to the novice, are noticeable in taste, colour and aroma. Every distillery in Scotland has its own story to tell and peculiar traditions, adding to the romance and mystique of Scotch whisky distilling.
A visit to a whisky distillery is an unforgettable and unique experience, and no matter where you are in Scotland there will be a distillery nearby. A trip round Scotland isn’t possible for everyone, so it helps to be informed about the characteristics of each region’s whisky, and tailor visiting distilleries to individual taste.
Lowlands
The lowland region covers the area from the border with England and from the Clyde estuary to the Tay estuary. The main feature of lowland whiskies is their dry, light flavour and colour, mainly due to the lighter lowland barley and smaller amount of peat used in the barley drying . . . → Read More: Whisky Regions of Scotland

Autumn breaks in Scotland, a great way to end the year
Article by Tim Green
Autumn is perhaps one of the most beautiful times of the year, as well as one of the most atmospheric; whilst nature lays on a display of explosive and vivid colour an undercurrent of expectancy prevails; a resigned anticipation of the oncoming winter season. This though, may be one of the very reasons why autumn breaks are so popular; they are the perfect final treat at the end of the year and a great way to fortify oneself to see the winter through with a stout heart and a cheery spirit. With this in mind, one?s choice of autumn break location is all important; but without doubt, if delighting the senses and fortifying the spirit are the prime drivers of autumn breaks, then very few locations can match up to autumn breaks in Scotland.

Thank you!
Best answer:
Answer by PaulaWell it has to one of the seaboard states in the north.
Take you pick of Washington or New York.
Since Scotland is known for its mountains, better narrow that down to Washington.

Question by kitarian: How many people here are from cities in England and Scotland? Just say hi and where you live.?
I’ve never been there but I find your countries wonderful in history and culture. I wanted to get away from war for a little while and share information about our cultures. I’m 15, I live in Ferguson, North Carolina,USA I have a pony and three cats and a sheep dog. I have two sisters One older, one younger. We found out we had cousins from the highlands of Scotland and in England.
Now, what ever you’d like to share. This would be like getting to know the people of the earth in a kind way.
I got carried away. I normally LIKE people and don’t judge them until I hear them talk or see them act. I like to have friends from all over the English, Scotlish, Australian and more. Sorry.
No war here, okay, just friends asking information about their different cultures.

Question by wendy08010: What was the difference between the lowlands & highlands of medieval Scotland?
I’m an avid reader of historical romance novels, and I have been reading a quite few that take place in medieval Scotland. I’m wondering why the hero in those romances is always a highlander. At best, a lowlander could be the hero’s best friend, or an inconsequential side character, but never the hero. At worse, a lowlander is the evil villin of the story or a rival for the heroin’s affection who never stands a chance because the hero is always a highlander. Is there some story that I missed when taking a class on medieval history that would explain this?
I realize this may be an odd place to ask this question, but I couldn’t think of another section that would know any better than you all.
