Lonely Planet's latest Guide To Great Britain, published today, finds many reasons to commend Scotland as a vacation destination, describing Edinburgh as "one of the most beautiful cities in Europe" with a "superlative" Festival.

Glasgow is hailed as "a loud, witty and wisecracking contrast" (to Edinburgh) with "a new sense of optimism and pride". Other highlights receiving credit include "increasingly sophisticated" Inverness, the "scenic jewel" Isle Of Arran, Glasgow's "colossal" Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum and Scotland's "magical wilderness".

Include any or all of these locations in your tour request from Get Around Scotland and discover them for yourself.
