Things To Do In Scotland

There is more to Scotland than kilts and bagpipes. Also famous for its dramatic landscapes and rich Celtic history, we guarantee one trip to Scotland is never enough! If you are wanting to explore high plateaus, historic castles and amazing wildlife head to The Cairngorms National Park. Lace up your walking boots and bag a few Munros, visit the is a picturesque 13th-century Loch en Ellein Castle or rent kayaks and paddleboards at Loch Morlich. In the winter you can go skiing at Aviemore or join a hill guide to find free ranging reindeer herds in the mountains. There is something to satisfy every outdoor enthusiast in this fantastic wild playground.

Alternatively, the Scottish Highlands is home to the dramatic Scottish scenery of steep jagged peaks towering above deep lochs and is also where you will find the Ben Nevis, the tallest mountain in the UK. Fort William and Glencoe are great place to base yourself to explore this awe inspiring landscape, or head further south to Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park where you can enjoy watersports, hiking or a scenic cruise whilst keeping your eyes peeled for Nessie.

As well as towering mountains, deep lochs and a whisky distillery or two, Scotland also has over 740 islands. Each island has its own character and charm so we recommend visiting a few! The Inner Hebrides includes the popular Isle of Syke, known for its dramatic scenery, as well as the Isle of Mull, Isle of Colonsay and South Uist. Head a little further west to the Outer Hebrides to explore the beautiful beaches on the Islands of Lewis and Harris. If you are really looking to get away from it all head further north to the Orkney Islands and Shetland Islands - the UK’s most northern point – to explore Neolithic sites and dramatic coastal features.
