Holidays in Scotland

A Enchanting land

From the sophistication of Edinburgh, the exuberance of Glasgow, the majesty of the Highlands and the beauty of the Islands, Scotland has a long, unique history and culture which you will grow to love.

 

The Cities

The capital, Edinburgh, is bohemian, sophisticated and cultured with a pulsating nightlife.

Glasgow has some of the finest architecture in Britain and hosts a variety of cultural events and attractions. The city has left its industrial past behind and become a vibrant modern city with great nightlife to enjoy on your holidays.

The Highlands

The West Highland Way starts in Glasgow and travels 95 miles through the west highlands of Scotland, finishing in Fort William at the base of Ben Nevis, the country's highest mountain. From distilleries to castles to spectacular mountain scenery, you will find a wealth of places to visit.

Scotland is one of the most beautiful countries in the world with a unique, fascinating history going back centuries to the ancient Clan structure that ruled this country. A place of escape, a tumbling land of hills and dales with gentle river banks and glistening burns. The lochs and coastline are ideal for water sports, and the rivers are perfect for fishing.

The Lochs

There are over six thousand lochs (lakes), ranging from small hill lochs offering wild brown trout fishing to some of the largest freshwater bodies in the UK with fishing for salmon, sea trout, brown trout, grayling, pike, and perch. Add to that over seven thousand miles of coastline with sea fishing stations and charter boats in abundance.

Known as the legendary home of golf, where the game evolved and where the spirit and traditions of golf have been safeguarded for over six centuries.

Scotland trips offer a varied and action packed range of outdoor activities all year round and there is something for everyone. Activity holidays include walking or hiking, canoeing, sea-kayaking, sailing and bicycle tours.

Whatever you choose or wherever you go in Scotland, you are guaranteed a very warm welcome.
