Information about Scotland
Scotland is one of the most spectacular destinations in the British Isles, a country of extraordinary landscapes, ancient history and a culture that is entirely its own. For those deciding where to stay, Scotland offers an unrivalled range of experiences across its mainland regions and island groups, from the Borders in the south to the far north of Caithness and Sutherland.
The landscapes are the stuff of legend. The Scottish Highlands are among the wildest and most breathtaking landscapes in the United Kingdom, with vast mountain ranges, ancient forests, brooding sea lochs and a coastline of extraordinary beauty. The islands — from Skye and Mull in the west to Orkney and Shetland in the far north — each have their own distinct character and offer some of the most remote and memorable places to stay in the British Isles.
Scotland’s history is dramatic and ever present. Ancient standing stones, Iron Age brochs, medieval castles and Jacobite battlefields tell the story of a country that has always done things on its own terms. Edinburgh, the capital, is one of the most beautiful and visited cities in the United Kingdom, its medieval Old Town and Georgian New Town together forming a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Glasgow, by contrast, is a city of Victorian grandeur, world class art collections and a warmth and energy that wins over almost every visitor.
Beyond the cities, Scotland rewards those who venture further — into Perthshire, Argyll, Dumfries and Galloway, or the quiet corners of the Borders — with landscapes, wildlife and a pace of life that is genuinely restorative.
Whether you are drawn by mountain wilderness, island adventure, golf, history or simply the desire to find somewhere truly unforgettable to stay, Scotland delivers in abundance.
