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

How about hunting for Haggis in the Scottish Highlands or digging up clams on the beaches of Orkney? Energetic dogs will love to explore the towering mountains, picking their way along rocky trails as you reach the summit together. Take them along while you enjoy cycling the many dog-friendly routes at the 7Stanes and introduce your furry friends to the delights of the Scottish Borders countryside, or relax in village retreats in Central Scotland close to dog-friendly pubs.

Dog-friendly attractions in Scotland

Scotland has a long list of tourist attractions where dogs are most definitely welcome.

In Innerleithen, the Robert Smail Printing Works tells the history of a local printer in a living museum that welcomes well-behaved dogs inside, and in Castle Douglas you can share a Cream o’Galloway ice cream before strolling the dedicated dog trail through the countryside.
