Just show me Cottages In Scotland
A land of myth and legend, historic castles, ruined abbeys and
ancient battlegrounds, one of soaring peaks and wide open vistas on
a scale rarely to be found elsewhere in the UK, a Sykes Scotland
cottage is your key to unlocking an invigorating and exhilarating
Scotland holiday. Whether you're looking for culture, adventure
or time out away from it all; for a romantic weekend retreat or a
family holiday home for an extended stay, a Sykes Scotland holiday
cottage gives you the ultimate freedom of choice.
A Scottish holiday home in the beautiful Borders country offers the
best of both worlds; the stunning coastal resorts of Northumberland
in England and the gentle, rolling upland of the Scottish
Borders, dotted with ancient castles and ruined
abbeys, a legacy of a dark and turbulent past. The country's
capital, Edinburgh, is a World Heritage Site and one of
Europe's most attractive cities, famous for its history,
architecture, cultural attractions and cutting edge performing arts
scene. Nearby, resorts such as Portobello and Musselborough on the
Firth of Forth offer traditional seaside fun. In southwestern
Scotland, Ayrshire, Dumfries
and Galloway
offer spectacular coastline, country estates such as Threave and
Caeverlock Castles, and the Robert Burns connection, with a host of
related attractions and sights. Explore the Galloway Hills on foot
or by bike in this unspoilt and under-visited outdoor playground.
Further north and west, a Scottish holiday cottage in Argyllshire
gives you the freedom of the isles; take a boat trip to the islands
of the Inner Hebrides; see the William Wallace memorial and the
magnificent castle at Sterling, or explore the stunning natural
beauty of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. Follow the
Scottish Whisky Trail, witness master craftsmen producing the
famous single malt in time honoured fashion, from the smallest
local distilleries to renowned international brands, or opt for
culture, shopping, Charles Rennie Mackintosh and the world-famous
artwork of the Burrell Collection in vibrant Glasgow.
Golfers will need no introduction to St. Andrews;
enjoy a round or two at one of its five superb courses; explore the
fishing villages of the Fife coast, such as Crail with its pretty
harbour and whitewashed houses or Anstruther, home of the Scottish
Fisheries Museum. In the centre of the
country, a Scotland cottage is your gateway to skiing
or walking in the beautiful Cairngorm
Mountains, discovering the delights of Scotland's Great Glen or
visiting historic sites such as Scone Palace, where Scottish
Monarchs have been invested for centuries. On Speyside, in the
Cairngorm region, you're in Monarch of the Glen country;
explore its forest parks and country estates, where deer roam on
wild heather moorland. Enjoy boating and wildlife spotting from the
serenity of Loch Insh, fishing for wild salmon, or discovering
popular Highland towns aboard the Strathspey Steam Railway,
Aviemore's
heritage railway attraction.
For sheer getting away from it all, on an unrivalled scale, a
Scotland cottage holiday in the Highlands
brings peace, tranquillity, stunning scenery and a renewed sense of
freedom. Experienced walkers tackle Ben Nevis from Fort William;
one of many Munros to be bagged amid the towering peaks of the
Glencoe area. Go monster hunting at Loch Ness, visit
romantic Urquhart castle, hunt for bottlenose dolphins from
Cromarty or relax on the east coast's resort of Nairn, with its twin
sandy beaches and child-friendly family attractions. Visit Cawdor
castle, or reflect awhile at one of the nation's great historic
sites, such as the battlefield of Culloden. Choose a Scottish
holiday cottage in the far northern Highlands and opt for
invigorating walks on empty, sandy beaches; marvel at puffins,
dolphins, seal, osprey and eagles in their natural habitat. Further
south and west, the Kyle of Lochalsh is the gateway to Skye; follow in
the steps of Bonnie Prince Charlie; nowadays the toll-free Skye
road bridge makes the journey considerably less arduous. Visit
picture-postcard Plockton, with its palm trees and pretty harbour,
setting for the BBC's popular Hamish Macbeth television series,
and framed by the alluring mountains of Wester Ross. Still further
south and west, discover at your own pace the atmospheric beauty of
the Mull of Kintyre, immortalised in the lyrics of Sir Paul
McCartney's eponymous song. Wherever you choose your Scotland
holiday cottage, enjoy traditional home cooked food; Haggis,
tatties and neeps, and a dram of heart-warming, local whisky.
Whether you want to follow the literary trails of Burns or Scott,
the seventy miles and numerous distilleries of the Scottish Whisky
Trail, or the splendid nature trails of forest, glen, coast,
mountain and moor land, Sykes' collection of hand-picked
Scottish cottages allows you to discover Scotland your own way. For
golfing, family holidays, walking, outdoor sports or visiting
cultural attractions, historic castles and battlefields, Scotland
offers something for everyone. With unspoilt beaches, from fine
white sands to rocky and dramatic sea cliffs, where nature can be
experienced in the raw, discover it all from your own Scotland
holiday cottage. From Argyll to the Angus Glens and from
John o' Groats to Gretna Green, Sykes' collection of
handpicked Scottish cottages gives you freedom of choice.
