Scotland is a popular tourist location and is visited by people from across the world. If you're living in UK, it's all even easier for you to holiday here. Ancient culture, castles of old and a passion for golf are just some of the ingredients that make this great location absolutely great. People who visit Scotland take the quick scenic tour by visiting the highlands and then the scenic coast. There is so much to see and do in Scotland.
Beautiful cottages
As the land is old and castle ruins are scattered everywhere, you may think that the beautiful and quaint cottages of Scotland would be worn down. This is far from the truth. Scotland's cottages are fully equipped for today's modern conveniences. You will find all the comforts of home right here. Gardens are well kept and the weather is great for a holiday.
Regional choices
Angus and Dundee are particularly popular cottage choices. You can indulge in outdoor pursuits such as mountain biking and walking tours (guided or not). This will help you experience the history of the region. Scotland has the highest concentration of castles in the United Kingdom. So if you would rather stay in a castle then try Forter Castle. It sleeps 10 and is very comfortable for a large sized group. The main hall has a heated stone floor. You will love the furnishings!
A visit to Scotland would not be complete without seeing its beautiful coastline. Cliffs to fine sandy beaches is what you can expect while exploring the coast. There are several hidden spaces just waiting to be discovered. If a taste of Scotland's fine distilled spirits is on your agenda then perhaps a visit to Aberdeen or Whiskey might be recommended. The Riverside Cottage in Banff may be the right cottage for you. It comes with simple but comfortable furnishing.
In Aberdeen, there are many cottages to choose from that are perfect for larger families or groups of six to twenty people. Further there are cottages that cater to just one or two people as well; therefore you will be spoilt for choice.
A game of golf
While a castle stay and a dolphin watching tour may be fantastic way to spend your holiday time in Scotland, golf still continues to be a favourite activity amongst tourists. The British golf museum at St. Andrews is a must-see for any golfer. If not for the golf, a visit here will show you beautiful architecture symbolic of Scottish skill.
Back to your cottage you can simply enjoy the simplicity of the countryside. Wake up every morning to fresh and clean Scottish air. Your home-away-from-home could be the perfect rest that you need. When your holiday is done, you can go home relaxed and refreshed, ready for a stint at the office. Prior to booking your cottage be sure to find out what it offers and how close it is to the town. Knowing the details well in advance will help you plan your holiday better.
