Just show me Luxury Cottages in Scotland
Scotland is famous for many things. Epic scenery dotted with iconic castles. Bagpipes, kilts and the Highland Games. Outstanding food and drink such as haggis, smoked salmon, prime Angus beef and smooth malt whisky. Intriguing characters like 'Nessie' the Loch Ness Monster.
It's also home to a collection of stylish holiday homes - perfect for that special getaway. Expect lavish interiors and fabulous features, perhaps an inglenook fireplace or farmhouse kitchen with Aga. Choose from small, chic countryside retreats to trendy coastal pads decked out with contemporary gadgetry.
When it comes to natural attractions, Scotland is an extraordinary destination. Its meandering coastline stretches for over 6,000 miles. Numerous islands nestle offshore, many with dazzling sandy beaches. There are towering mountains whose peaks often hide in clouds. Fast-flowing rivers, tranquil lochs, dense forests, heather-clad moors - a fascinating patchwork of unique habitats that wait to be explored.
Such splendid surroundings mean endless outdoor fun. Expect
top-class walking and mountain biking, wonderful wildlife watching
and world-class sailing. Not forgetting traditional country
pursuits like fishing and hunting. Play golf? Did you know that
Scotland is the 'Home of Golf' and boasts over 500 courses?
Now that's reason alone to book one of our first-class
properties in Scotland. Come winter, lovers of skiing and other
snow sports flock to the Highlands, which transform into a
fairytale wonderland.
A million things to see and do - that's if you can tear
yourself away from your sumptuous Scottish hideaway, of course!
