DON’T MISS ...
LIVING in Scotland doesn’t have to be all about work, use your free time to enjoy an array of activities.
The golf course at St Andrews
Golfing With the Ryder Cup taking place in Scotland this year, a game of golf is a must. And there’s no shortage of beautiful courses to play on. Turnberry in Ayrshire is the perfect golfing destination, with three courses to choose from you could play a round on The Ailsa, The Kintyre or The Arran. The famous Royal Troon is nearby or you could go further afield and have a game in Gleneagles or St Andrews.
Glasgow and the River Clyde Hillwalking
How about incorporating some fitness with breath-taking views?
Islands, such as Skye in the west and the Orkneys to the north, are enchanting and mystical, offering the perfect antidote to the stresses and strains of modern life. To the south of the country lies the Borders, a region of rolling hills and charming towns and villages, and to the south west is the forested Dumfries and Galloway region. So, engineers moving to Scotland are spoiled for choice with all these regions to choose from – there’s definitely something for everyone.
“Glasgow city is
bustling and lively yet a short drive from Ayrshire where you will find miles of sand and sea”
Munro Bagging is a popular past time in Scotland. This means tackling the mountains in Scotland which are more than 3,000 feet high. With hundreds of Munros to choose from you could cover a lot of ground. Just be sure to do your research so that the hill you choose is within your capability.
Fishing Enjoy an afternoon on a lake or loch while partaking in a spot of fishing. Scotland’s big four salmon rivers, the Dee, Spey, Tay and Tweed are famous among fishermen. You can also go fishing for sea trout, wild brown trout, rainbow trout and pike.
Wildlife Scotland has a great diversity of flora and fauna. You can spot whales off the west coast, herds of red deer in the Highlands or maybe even catch the reclusive wild cat. A short boat trip to the Bass Rock will leave you with memories for life of one of the world’s largest colonies of sea birds.
