Scotland holiday cottages

UK | Scotland

Scotland is a country bordered by the cool, deep waters of the North Sea and the numerous lochs and firths that swirl between hundreds of Scottish islands and islets. Historic battlegrounds, imposing regal castles and six UNESCO World Heritage Sites make Scotland an inspirational place to visit, whatever you look for in a holiday. Beyond its rich history and stunning landscapes, Scotland's food and drink is just as enticing, with freshly caught seafood, traditional haggis, world-renowned whisky, and artisan gin offering a true taste of the country.
