The one thing that can be almost guaranteed about 2007 is that it will never have been easier or cheaper to get to almost any part of Scotland.

With the increase in low cost flights it could be that this year will see a peak in the number of flights coming into Scotland, not only through the two main airports of Glasgow and Edinburgh but also through Aberdeen and increasingly Inverness and the very busy Prestwick in Ayrshire.

As well as the short haul routes now flying in from almost every major population hotspot in Europe there is an increase in access to Scotland from long haul markets in the Far East, Middle East and North America.

Easiest way to keep up is checking back to Scotland's For Me regularly as we'll be feeding in up to date information on a regular basis.

First Scotrail operate the Caledonian Sleeper service if you wish to travel overnight from London Euston to Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverness and Fort William.

Within Scotland there are frequent traisn between the main destinations and some of the routes ina dn around the Highlands are simply breathtaking in both their engineering genius and spectacular scenery. The Glenfinnan Viaduct made famous by Harry Potter or the Mallaig route are simply wonderful.
