Despite a challenging start to 2025, with poor weather conditions leading to the cancellation of Hogmanay celebrations in Edinburgh, Scotland is looking ahead to a year of exciting developments.
One of the key highlights is the upcoming wave of luxury hotel openings. The Seaton House, located in St. Andrews near the iconic Old Course where the first game of golf was played, is set to open its doors. This marks the beginning of several high-end hotel launches across the country in the coming months.
In addition to these hotel openings, Scotland is seeing an increase in flight options. New seasonal routes to Edinburgh are being introduced by JetBlue from Boston and American Airlines from Philadelphia, making it easier for international visitors to reach the country.
Furthermore, as part of the United Kingdom, Scotland is introducing a new requirement for travelers without a visa to obtain an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) for entry. This move is expected to streamline the entry process and enhance security.
