Places to Visit from Remote Cottages in Scotland 

With much of the country’s population being situated in the lower part of the country near the border with England, much of the rest of the country is dominated by countryside, meaning that there’s no shortage of great regions to consider booking one of these remote holiday cottages in Scotland! 

One of the most popular regions to consider staying in is the Scottish Highlands, a huge region that covers the majority of North Scotland. Home to wonderful natural landmarks like Loch Ness and Ben Nevis, the tallest peak in the British Isles, the towns and villages here are few and far between, making it a brilliant place to consider booking a remote cottage in Scotland. 

Another fantastic part of the country to consider staying in is the Scottish Islands. Dotted around north and western coastlines, there’s just shy of 800 islands of varying sizes, some of the most famous being Skye, Mull, Arran and Lewis. Known for their white sandy beaches, many can only be reached by ferry, although some of the islands closer to the mainland are connected by road.
