New Campaign by VisitScotland Promotes Route Connecting All Eight Scottish Cities

The first surprise is that a half-hour trip by train from Edinburgh to North Berwick is really as far as you need to go for a taste of Scotland that is elemental and remote, a place of windswept beaches, stunning coastal walks and panoramic views.
