App is fab way to see Scotland

The launch of a new virtual reality app from Visit-Scotland means that people across the globe can now “wander through Robert Burns Birthplace Museum” to inspire them to come for a real- life visit and enjoy a first- hand experience of Ayrshire and Arran’s outstanding attractions and rich heritage.

The award- winning museum is one of the leading Scottish visitor destinations featured in the innovative ScotlandVR tourism app which enables prospective visitors to go on a virtual visit to 26 top attractions.

They may also choose to stroll around the prehistoric village of Skara Brae in Orkney, soar like a bird over Edinburgh Castle, journey into the depths of Ben Cruachan, The Hollow Mountain, or stand under the Northern Lights.

ScotlandVR is a ground- breaking virtual travel experience that allows people, wherever they are in the world, to be immersed in Scotland’s remarkable attractions.

It is hoped the ScotlandVR app, which is available for all Android and Apple users to download for free on Google Play and Apple Store, will inspire more people to escape from their surroundings to discover Scotland in person.

Featuring state- of- the art 360 ˚ imagery and footage, the journey begins in a virtual glen complete with moo- ing Highland cow, crackling fire and bellowing stag and launches with 26 attractions.
