Scotland has been stealing a little extra spotlight lately, thanks in part to the Tartan Army — Scotland’s famously friendly soccer fans — bringing their good-natured energy to North America.

Their warmth, humor, and unmistakable pride have reminded so many people what makes Scotland so special. And beyond the cheers and tartan, there’s a country filled with dramatic landscapes, rich history, welcoming people, and unforgettable moments.

So, inspired by the buzz around Scotland, this might be your sign to start planning a Guided Tour or Private Driver vacation with Scotland's #1 tour operator, CIE Tours!
