\u00a0<\/p>\n

Edinburgh<\/strong> is a gloriously dignified city; Glasgow, a Victorian powerhouse. An excursion to St. Andrews is a pilgrimage for golf aficionados and numerous castles polka-dot the northeast. Its local products, customs, music, and traditional dress\u2014from tartans and bagpipes to tweeds\u2014travel all over the globe, but there’s nothing like experiencing them firsthand.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
