La Isla de Man, también conocida como Mann, es una dependencia autónoma de la Corona Británica, ubicada en el Mar de Irlanda, entre las islas de Gran Bretaña e Irlanda, dentro de
las islas Britanicas. El jefe de estado es la Reina Isabel II, quien tiene el título de señora de Mann. La isla no es parte de la Reino Unido, pero sus relaciones exteriores y defensa son responsabilidad del gobierno del Reino Unido. La isla ha estado habitada desde antes del 6500 AC. En el siglo noveno, los nórdicos comenzaron a establecerse allí.
En 1266, la isla se convirtió en parte de Escocia. Después de un período de gobierno alterno por parte de los reyes de Escocia e Inglaterra, la isla quedó bajo el señorío feudal de la Corona Inglesa en 1399.
El señorío volvió a la corona británica en 1764, pero la isla nunca se convirtió en parte del Reino Unido y conservó su condición de autogobierno.

El principal evento internacional asociado con la isla es la Isla de Man Carrera de trofeos
turísticos, coloquialmente conocida como "" El TT "", que comenzó en 1907. Se lleva a cabo
a finales de mayo y principios de junio. El TT es ahora un evento internacional de carreras
de carretera para motocicletas, que solían ser parte del Campeonato Mundial. Es
considerado uno de los " mayores eventos deportivos de motos del mundo".
Durante un período de dos semanas, se ha convertido en un festival para la cultura del
motociclismo. Hace una gran contribución a la economía de la isla y se ha convertido en
parte de la identidad Manx. Para muchos, la isla lleva el título de "capital mundial del
automovilismo". El Gran Premio de Manx es un evento de motos separado para aficionados
y participantes privados que utiliza el mismo 37.70 Mile Snaefell Mountain Course y se
realiza a finales de agosto y principios de septiembre.

El área que comprende el Lake District (Distrito de los Lagos), se formó durante varias edades de hielo. El hielo creó un par de valles, la mayoría de ellos con lagos adentro, rodeados de montañas hasta 950 metros de altura. Grandes secciones del Distrito de los Lagos fueron declaradas Parque Nacional en 1951. Esta región es considerada como uno de los parques más bellos de Inglaterra.

Hadrian's Wall was a defensive fortification built by the Romans in northern England. Begun in AD 122, during the rule of Emperor Hadrian, it was the first of two fortifications built across Great Britain. The second was the Antonine Wall, lesser known of the two because its physical remains are less evident today. The wall was the most heavily fortified border in the Empire. In addition to its role as a military fortification, it is thought that many of the gates through the wall served as customs posts, to allow trade and to levy taxes. A significant portion of the wall still exists, particularly the mid-section. For much of its length, the wall can be followed on foot along Hadrian's Wall Path, or by cycle on National Cycle Route 72. It is the most popular tourist attraction in northern England, and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987. English Heritage, a government organisation in charge of managing the historic environment of England, describes it as "the most important monument built by the Romans in Britain."

It is said that if you want to rule Scotland you need to rule Stirling. Located high on a rocky outcrop and surrounded on three sides by steep cliffs, Stirling Castle was a focal point in the Wars of Scottish Independence, especially during the Battle of Banockburn which saw the final defeat of the English forces against Robert the Bruce. With almost half a million visitors each year Stirling Castle has become one of the most visited attractions in Scotland.

In the 19th century the famous writer Sir Walter Scott wrote about this region in many of his books. Since then, Loch Lomond and the Trossachs (a national park since 2002) are among the most visited natural attractions in Scotland. The village of Callander features the Rob Roy Visitor Center, named after the clan chief and outlaw who Scott glorified as a national hero. You can visit Roy’s tomb in Balguhidder.

The island of Skye is of exceptional beauty and full of rich history. In 1745, Bonnie Prince Charlie embarked from here to gather and unite the Highland clans in one last attempt to free Scotland from the English. He was defeated in the Battle of Culloden a year later and had to flee back to the Isle of Skye, where a Flora MacDonald helped him escape his pursuers by dressing him up as a maid. The combination of prehistoric and historic sites, spectacular scenery and small, winding roads make the Isle of Skye one of the highlights of this tour.

Edinburgh is one of Europe’s most beautiful cities, draped across a series of rocky hills overlooking the sea. It’s a town intimately entwined with its landscape, with buildings and monuments perched atop crags and overshadowed by cliffs. From the Old Town’s picturesque jumble of medieval tenements piled high along the Royal Mile, its turreted skyline strung between the black, bull-nosed Castle Rock and the russet palisade of Salisbury Crags, to the New Town’s neat grid of neoclassical respectability, the city offers a constantly changing perspective.
The Athens of the North, an 18th-century Edinburgh nickname dreamed up by the great thinkers of the Scottish Enlightenment, is a city of high culture and lofty ideals, of art and literature, philosophy and science. It is here that each summer the world's biggest arts festival rises, phoenix-like, from the ashes of last year's rave reviews and broken box-office records to produce yet another string of superlatives. And it is here, beneath the Greek temples of Calton Hill – Edinburgh's acropolis – that the Scottish parliament sits again after a 300-year absence.
Edinburgh is also known as Auld Reekie, a down-to-earth place that flicks an impudent finger at the pretensions of the literati. Auld Reekie is a city of loud, crowded pubs and decadent restaurants, late-night drinking and all-night parties, beer-fuelled poets and foul-mouthed comedians. It’s the city that tempted Robert Louis Stevenson from his law lectures to explore the drinking dens and lurid street life of the 19th-century Old Town and it’s the city of Beltane, the resurrected pagan May Day festival, where half-naked revellers dance in the flickering firelight of bonfires beneath the stony indifference of Calton Hill's pillared monuments.
