Choosing a well earned holiday or short break could be just what you need for a chance to relax and enjoy some Scottish hospitality, but with so many options available how exactly do you choose the best places to go?
If you know what you're looking for, that's great. Maybe you're unsure, because you don't know where to travel in scotland. Rest assured, wherever your interests lie, whether it's in culture, history or breathtaking scenery, you're guaranteed to find it on my selected Scotland trips.
Many people visit for our History and Culture Tours. Some come for our fabulous Outdoor Activities, like golf, hiking and cycling. I would say that the best way to see the country is by walking, but unless you are a keen hiker then driving is recommended to allow you to see the best of the countryside. Driving here isn't too bad, especially in the Highlands.
Still undecided? Read on and find the best places to see on YOUR best Scotland trips, for all the top attractions, day trips and holidays.
The places I have written about here are all personal favourites of mine, and I believe they are among the best places to see in the country.
Some of you may prefer the culture and nightlife of the city, but a lot of people take holiday here to enjoy beautiful scenery and a relaxed pace. It's really up to you, but if you live in the city then maybe you'd be best opting for a quiet setting with stunning views, but close enough to let you explore the lochs and the charming wee towns and villages around them.
