Edinburgh has a castle and palace both open to tourists, as well as other vestiges of Scotland's past. The Highlands offer hiking, fishing, hunting, biking, rock climbing and golf, and also skiing in the winter. Innumerable castles and other vestiges of Scotland's past dot the landscape, and several Scotch distilleries welcome tourists. There are quaint coastal villages and remote islands off the west coast to explore. And of course there's Loch Ness, where one can lie back and wait for the monster to break the surface.
Book stores have plenty of offerings on Britain and Scotland specifically.
