A farm cottage holiday in Scotland conjures up images like Highland Cattle, with their shaggy coats and sweeping horns. Just imagine being their closest neighbour, if only for a few days.
Yes a farm cottage holiday in Scotland guarantees a fun and fascinating experience, especially if you're travelling with little ones. Help out with daily chores such as collecting eggs, feeding ducks and milking cows. Or hop aboard the tractor and help out in the fields.
Escape to the countryside with our farm cottages in Scotland
Fantastic days out include visiting one of the many rural events - don't miss the Royal Highland Show established in 1784, an agricultural extravaganza featuring the UK's finest livestock and attractions for all the family. Or capture the very essence of Scottish culture at the Highland Games, regularly held across the country from spring to autumn, with bagpipes, drums, dancing, tossing the caber, tug-o-war and more.
Or perhaps you're keen to make the most of all that wonderful countryside on your doorstep and plan to climb those peaks and become a 'munro-bagger'. Fresh air and exercise encourage a healthy appetite and Scotland's larder is superb - Aberdeen-Angus beef, venison, lobster, raspberries, shortbread, haggis and an exceptional range of single malt whiskies.
