This is one of the larger Orkney islands. It’s a bit of a challenge to live on the island due to the tide. Plus getting to the island is also a unique experience. One has to fly the world’s shortest flight from Papa Westray to Westray; its only two minutes.

I got drawn to this town because of the Falkirk Wheel. I still don’t how it works, but apparently, it moves boats from one canal to the next. You’ll have to go to check it out.
255. Perhaps one of the most beautiful areas in Scotland, Balloch is the gateway to Loch Lomond, a must see when visiting the region. But take some time to explore Balloch before heading up the river.
Prestwick is home of the Golf Open. So, if you’re a golf fan, you should visit. Even if you’re not, the town is quite scenic, so you won’t be disappointed.
253. Glasgow is Scotland’s other city, yes, the one you rarely hear about, but is worth exploring. It’s the working class city.
251. Troon, Scotland is a town that really surprised me when I visited. It’s small, quaint has good ice cream and seems like a great place to just relax and they have golf. Plus. its am easy walk from the train station.
250. Ayr is actually a popular seaside resort but not by people who are not from the area. Its the perfect spot to get a bed and breakfast and do nothing. Or walk along the beach and talk to the locals. It’s quite the hidden secret on the western coast of Scotland. When you visit, you will see what I’m talking about. I really did not want to leave at all.
Kirkwall is a small quiet town in the Orkney Islands of Scotland. It really is remote and totally worth checking out.
