Yet there\u2019s a lot more to this city than meets the eye. Hidden within the architecture are many mystical stories and secrets which can only be unlocked by a Scotland travel guide (who can also provide top Scotland travel tips). For example, did you know that many of the Harry Potter characters found their names thanks to a secluded graveyard in Edinburgh? J.K. Rowling was well and truly inspired!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-sample-scotland-s-national-drink\">2. <strong>Sample Scotland\u2019s National Drink<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2021\/05\/Blog-Images-Resized-1296-x-728px-Medium-723-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25839\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Blog-Images-Resized-1296-x-728px-Medium-723-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Blog-Images-Resized-1296-x-728px-Medium-723-1-330x186.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Blog-Images-Resized-1296-x-728px-Medium-723-1.jpg 1296w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>No it\u2019s not Irn-Bru as some like to believe, it\u2019s officially whisky! There\u2019s no better place to enjoy a wee dram than at a whisky distillery itself.
