Holidays to Scotland

Holidays in Scotland

Once the setting for bitter battles between clans and neighbouring England, Scotland’s landscape – from its wind-whipped peaks to its brooding lochs – knows how to leave a lasting impression. Superb walking is complemented by rich wildlife-spotting opportunities, a wealth of history, and freshly landed seafood.

We’ve done the hard work for you and carefully planned routes through Highland Perthshire, along Fife’s coast, and into the history-laden valleys that carve their way through the Scottish Borders.

Where to holiday in Scotland

Walk the Highlands

Deep glens surrounded by mountains, expansive lochs, and a not insignificant scattering of burns, birks, and braes – the Highlands are what make Scotland such an inspiring place to walk. Complete stretches of the iconic Rob Roy Way in Highland Perthshire and tackle thrilling ascents to the likes of Ben Vrackie.

A Highland Fling
Coastal Fife

Fife holds the key to gastronomic delights as you make your way along the renowned Fife Coastal Path. Indulge in the finest malt whiskies, creamy farmhouse cheeses, and freshly-caught seafood in Fife’s ‘East Neuk’ (eastern corner) – the prettiest part of the peninsula.

Fife’s Coastal Kingdom
Scottish Borders

Historic homes and ruined abbeys lay witness to the Borders’ turbulent times. Now, peaceful valleys and sheep-grazed pastures with ospreys soaring above form the backdrop for a relaxed walking holiday. It’s also home to Abbotsford, home of Sir Walter Scott.

Scenery on an epic scale

Packed within Scotland’s Lowlands, Highlands, and islands is a landscape that exudes self-confidence – and rightly so. The deep glens, heather-clad moorlands, and lochs take centre stage, while the cobbled, history-steeped streets of Edinburgh are never far away.

Our walks range from easy to challenging, giving you the freedom to explore Scotland at your pace, staying in welcoming hotels and guesthouses, and seeking out its finest single malts along the way.
