They become a promise of rebirth – of the melting of snow capped peaks and warmer, longer days. Yes, spring in Scotland is something which many find truly captivating.

As you make your way around Scotland visiting the various castles and ancient ruins, you will likely find yourself surrounded by huge patches of color – delicate yellow daffodils or azaleas – amongst others – make for some truly fantastic sights in this green, moist countryside of Scotland.
