Self-catering holidays in Scotland

Travel north of the border for spectacular scenery and a friendly welcome. Scotland is a land of amazing beauty, from the rolling hills of the Scottish Borders through quiet forests, lochs and fast flowing rivers, to the highlands where deer graze, and on to the coast with some of the cleanest beaches and most picturesque harbours in Britain.

Take a look at our holiday cottages in the Borders, or the rugged Highlands, on the spectacular West Coast of Scotland, in the north east corner of Grampian with its castle and whisky trails, Royal Balmoral, miles of clean sandy beaches and great birdwatching, or in Perthshire with its green wooded hills, lochs and fish ladders, and if you're seriously into fishing - take a self-catering holiday on the banks of the river Spey, famed for its salmon.
