The popular Scottish attractions tourists love to hate according to TripAdvisor
16.09.2022 - 17:27 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Scotland is filled to the brim with amazing places to see and incredible things to do, throw in all the welcoming places to stay and mouth-watering restaurants to eat at and you have a heady mix that's ideal for creating an unforgettable holiday.
This is the reason that thousands and thousands of people visit the country from all over the world. And if the reviews are anything to go by then most people who visit have an amazing time but not everyone is happy all of the time and it seems some attractions are just magnets for complaints on TripAdvisor.
Here are some of those attractions in Scotland that no matter how much love they get from others, some tourists just love to hate.
One of the most recognisable Scottish landmarks is visited by thousands upon thousands of visitors every year, with a peak of 2.2 million visitors in just one year in 2019.
Packed with history and beautiful architecture, it should be a hugely fun day out for most – but actually, it seems to get a lot of comments on the lack of access around the castle.

Naz O. posted: "Firstly we were a little disappointed with what the castle had to offer for a visitor. As it is still used as a military base, there isn't much to see or explore other than the beautiful scenic views. Even the crown jewels room only had one display."
Another said: "What you can see is very limited and the castle is mainly fairly modern. Most parts are closed off. Not good value for money."
Local resident Andy W. added: "I live in Edinburgh and took my Grandson up to see some of our history. I could not believe the prices they charge. There is little to nothing in there, its a rip off."
