Scottish Landmarks

Colour in this picture of Balmoral Castle, the Queen's favourite "holiday home", in Scotland.

Balmoral Castle is said to be the Queen's favourite royal residence. Perhaps the children could pretend to be visiting a member of the royal family there and write a postcard to a friend about their visit?

Looking at this stunning poster, it's easy to see why the British Royal family are so fond of Balmoral Castle! Print to use in displays about Scotland.

There are lots of reasons to visit lovely Balmoral Castle - and the official website says you should allow plenty of time for a visit! Find out more about this historic building, then write your own tourist leaflet using our printable template. 

This beautiful poster features Ben Nevis, the highest peak in Scotland and the tallest mountain in the British Isles.

Here's a fun activity that's got both writing and colouring practise. Colour in the picture of Edinburgh Castle, then write something on the postcard too (don't forget an address!). 

Edinburgh Castle has stood in the same spot since the 12th century. Here's a poster of this famous Scottish landmark to use in your displays.

Edinburgh Castle is dramatic, romantic and iconic - so this story paper is a great one to print for the kids to write a story set in the capital city of Scotland, perhaps...

Edinburgh Castle is built high on an impressive 700 million-year-old extinct volcano called Castle Rock!  We have black and white and colour versions of our writing page for children to record their research into this historic site.

Until 2002 when a new, long-lasting paint was introduced, the task of painting the huge Forth Bridge was continuous! Hopefully, it won't take as long to colour in this picture!

The Forth Bridge is of course one of the most impressive "modern" landmarks of Scotland, making it a useful printable postcard activity for children learning about the country.

When the Forth bridge was opened on 4 March 1890 by the then Prince of Wales, it was the longest cantilever bridge in the world. It's also stunning to look at, as you can see from this poster...

The aim of this 3 fold leaflet is to produce a tourist leaflet all about the Forth Bridge. You might need to do a little research first so you can add some interesting facts and information...

Glencoe is a glen in the Scottish Highlands, formed by an ice age glacier. You can get some idea of its outstanding beauty by printing and displaying this poster.

Colour in the picture of romantic Gretna Green on this postcard, then write something on the other side. You can practise writing an address too, or you could buy a stamp and send it for real!

Print this poster, featuring an illustration of Gretna Green, and use as part of a Scotland display.

Gretna Green is famous for weddings, something to write about in this tourist leaflet perhaps?

This Hadrian's Wall postcard makes a fun activity for kids who are learning about the Romans in Britain, or perhaps Scottish landmarks. Imagine they are there, or have visitied, and write a postcard home...

Hadrian's Wall was one of Rome's greatest engineering projects. Here's a poster of Hadrian's wall today to print and use in displays.

Hadrians Wall is one of the best Roman remains in the UK - can you write about this, and other reasons to visit in this Hadrians Wall Tourist leaflet?

Highland cattle, with their long horns and flowing coats, are instantly recognisable. This poster of one is perfect as part of a display about Scotland.

Scotland's beautiful Loch Lomond is well-known because of the famous old song about it - but what a wonderful view we've shown on our pretty printable poster!

This writing prompt is a 3 fold leaflet - just print and fold on the dotted lines. Children need to do a little research to write a tourist leaflet all about Loch Lomond.

I'm not sure you can spot Nessie on this poster of Loch Ness, but it's still a beautiful scene to display!
