What will you choose to do on your dog-friendly holiday in Scotland?

Scotland’s rich and diverse landscapes offer the ideal destinations for dog-friendly holidays. The Scottish coast boasts beautiful sandy beaches for ball chasing through the surf, while the inland landscape is carpeted with thick forests, criss-crossed with exciting trails and scents to sniff out.

Scotland has a long list of tourist attractions where dogs are most definitely welcome. Castle Mey in Caithness – best known as the Queen Mother’s former home – opens its fabulous gardens to visiting pets to sniff about.

In Innerleithen, the Robert Smail Printing Works tells the history of a local printer in a living museum that welcomes well-behaved dogs inside.

In Castle Douglas you can share a Cream o’Galloway ice cream before strolling the dedicated dog trail through the countryside.

These are just some of our favourites, but you can find more things to do on your holiday in our guide to dog-friendly days out in Scotland.

However you like to spend time away with your dog, our pet-friendly cottages in Scotland and the rest of the UK are the perfect place to begin planning your dream holiday.
