Virtually Visiting Scotland

Perhaps you had a trip planned to Scotland and it’s been cancelled because of the Coronavirus.

Or maybe you just want to visit Scotland anyhow, and now you have some free time, but of course there aren’t any flights here.

I might not be a travel guide, but I have lived here for 5 years nearly, and I love to share Scotland with people Thankfully, there are a surprisingly large number of options if you’re looking to venture to this side of the pond virtually!

As I spot more places open their virtual doors for tours, I’ll update this list, so keep checking back!

Yearly, Glasgow hosts a Doors Open days where you’re able to explore buildings typically off limits to tourists. Since the outbreak, it’s been moved online. http://www.doorsopendays.org.uk/visiting/digital-doors-open/digital-doors-open-map/?fbclid=IwAR2Fmf3v3Gl35L_oKa6vmlL9T5crYn7W4PsM9aShkjsrstpcQz3IaV1W3lQ
