With a complex relationship with England and also a different feel Edinburgh offers from that of London, Scotland is another very attractive destination in the UK. Just as many people love England and London, many other people also prefer Scotland and Edinburgh! If you’ve tried virtual tours to England and London from my previous #TravelFromHome series, this time let’s see the list of virtual tours in Scotland. Edinburgh Castle In this 360-degree video, you can have a bird’s-eye view of Edinburgh Castle and the city during the first minute, followed by spots inside the castle in a panorama.
