NEW YORK, NY, July 31, 2007. Legendary land of highlands and heather, William Wallace and Robert the Bruce, and - some might argue - of golf and Sean Connery, Scotland offers the traveler myriad options for sport, sightseeing, culture and just plain enjoyment. Discover them all at members of The Leading Hotels of the World.

The numerous cultural offerings of Edinburgh can keep your calendar full - so it may well be that the "Simply Dinner, Bed and Breakfast" offer at Rocco Forte Balmoral Hotel is just the ticket.
