Scotland, A Unique Holiday Destination
Breathe in the countryside, sensational scenery, breath-taking mountains and the Highland glens and lochs of Scotland. Experience the beautiful countryside of the Southern Uplands characterised by unspoilt Dumfries and Galloway, or the historic islands off the west coast including Iona, Mull and Skye. The east coast provides a blend of distilleries, dramatic coastlines and ancient castles, whilst the cosmopolitan cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh are brimming with culture and tradition.
Revel In The History
From the stone circles of Orkney to the parliament building in Edinburgh, Scotland’s dramatic history spans 8,000 years, marked by invasions and independence, wars and religious upheavals, intrigues and subjugation.
Such a history has left its mark on the nation’s psyche –as well as the landscape – with more castles and historic buildings than you can count. Explore the history of this wonderful country from your self-catering holiday cottage in Scotland.
Enjoy The Traditions
A nation’s artistic and cultural life says much about its people. The vibrancy and creativity displayed across a wide range of art forms is for all to see in many different ways.
From traditional dance and music, the Edinburgh Military Tattoo and International Festival to the very special celebrations at Hogmanay. Rent a self-catering holiday home in Scotland and bask in the full Scottish experience.
Taste The Difference With Local Food & Whisky
Scotland’s larder overflows with some of the finest produce to be found anywhere in the British Isles.
Grab your chance to sample the local delicacies – Arbroath smokies, Loch Fyne kippers, Forfar bridies, Selkirk cheeses, Dundee cake and Moffat toffee to name but a few.
Of course the gem of the national larder, or more accurately the national drinks cabinet, is of course whisky and when it comes to the water of life, the Scottish distilleries are recognised the world over as supreme. Take in one of the many whisky distilleries near your self-catering holiday home, and bring a bottle or two back for friends.
City of Edinburgh
With so much to see and do in Scotland’s capital city, we are proud to offer perhaps the most comprehensive choice of holiday homes and self-catering apartments available.
Many visitors come to enjoy the famous festivals, the Military Tattoo in August, or the Hogmanay celebrations at New Year. Edinburgh is a year-round destination with its diversity of architecture, attractions and entertainments.
Book a self-catering apartment in Edinburgh for a short break or a longer stay to immerse yourself in the unique atmosphere of this captivating city.
Into The Great Outdoors
There’s such a wide range of outdoor pursuits to do whilst on holiday in Scotland. Whether it’s golf, fishing, cycling, hill walking, skiing, snowboarding, extreme sports, quad biking, canoeing and microlighting – you can take part in it all, against the backdrop of some of Britain’s wildest and most beautiful scenery.
So, if you prefer a holiday where you get out, rather than chill out, there are few better places than Scotland, and your cosy self-catering cottage or holiday home will be just the place to return to after the day’s activities.
