Scotland

Small country, enormous noise

Scotland's football culture punches far above its population. Beyond the Glasgow duopoly there's a chain of clubs, Dundee, Aberdeen, Inverness, St Mirren, with grounds you can reach by train through some of the best scenery in Europe, and crowds that treat 4,000 like 40,000.

Top places to travel

  • GlasgowThree senior grounds, the best live music scene in Britain, and the Barras market.
  • EdinburghHearts and Hibs a mile apart. Arthur's Seat before kick-off.
  • The HighlandsInverness Caley Thistle, then Loch Ness and the road to Skye.
  • DundeeTwo grounds on the same street. Nowhere else in Britain does that.
