What’s On Your Bucket List?
A new report out today has revealed Scotland is a top destination on Britons’ UK bucket list – as 10 Scottish locations and experiences make the nation’s top must-do wish-list.
Visiting the Isle of Skye, climbing Ben Nevis, searching for Nessie, attending the Edinburgh Tattoo and taking a selfie at John O’ Groats are just some of the Scottish activities Britons have on their UK Bucket List.
Edinburgh Tattoo
Travelodge, who operates 548 hotels including 42 hotels in Scotland, surveyed 2,000 adults to obtain their views on the importance of having a bucket list – and it reveals 60% of respondents claim having a bucket list is good for their wellbeing as it keeps them focused and gives them personal goals to achieve in life.
The average bucket list contains at least 16 adventures adults want to experience in their lifetime which will take them around 11 years to accomplish.
Interestingly, a fifth of British adults with a partner reported that having a bucket list is good for their relationship – as sharing a bucket list experience brings them closer together.
