Scottish Islands & The HebridesThe HebridesThe hebrides cover many islands on the west and north west of Scotland, some like the Isle of Skye are now connected to the mainland by a bridge others you need to go by ferry, boat or by air. Scotland does have many other islands that are not part of the hebrides including Arran and to the far north of Scotland, Orkney and Shetland. We visited the Isle of Lewis and Harris for a week in the early spring and enjoyed the trip from Ullapool. Scotland - Scotland TravelTowns, Villages & Places to Visit

Scotland CastlesCastle of Mey - Caithness
The Castle of Mey is the Queen Mother's Home in Caithness. We recently visited this outstanding royal residence and enjoyed the castle and the gardens. The walled gardens has a productive vegetable garden, as well as flowers. Inside the Castle of Mey you can see the home that the Queen Mother made from a property that she renovated and has saved for the nation. For animal and pet lovers there is the small animal center and exhibit where you can see a range of chickens, pigs, sheep and other animals. Kids love visiting this area of the castle. Visit our Castle of Mey page for location map and more photographs of the Castle and Gardens. Scottish Highlands - Highlands & Islands of ScotlandPlan a holiday in Scotland and visit the Highlands and you will fall in love with beautiful Scotland.
Ardvreck Castle on Loch Assynt in Sutherland. The castle is said to be haunted. It is also one of the locations you can book for your Scottish Wedding in the Highlands. 
Another famous castle visited by thousands of tourists each year is Urquhart Castle overlooking Loch Ness. Loch Ness is one of the best known of our Scottish Lochs and along with the legend of Nessie you will also discover beautiful scenery and Urquhart Castle beside Loch Ness. Gairloch in Wester Ross is an outstanding location for a family holiday in Scotland - sandy beaches, beautiful scenery, a golf course (shown above) and lots of things to do, from surfing, sailing to hill walking and of course fishing - sea, loch and river. Gairloch.org for information on Gairloch and Wester Ross. 
Achmelvich is near Lochinver in Sutherland. While I have a lot of favourite beaches in Scotland this must be one of the most beautiful holiday locations in the Scottish Highlands. At Achmelvich is a Youth Hostel, a caravan and camp site and cottages to rent. This is an ideal location to hire a campervan to explore, it is certainly easier than towing a caravan!
We have pictures of some of Scotland's finest beaches on our Scotland's Beaches page. The pictures shown below are from Wester Ross in the North West Highlands near Poolewe. 
Scotland BeachesWe also have pictures of some of the most beautiful beaches in Scotland. Or just go visit them and stay in one of our featured bed and breakfast accommodation - Bed and Breakfast in Poolewe. Pictures of Mellon Udrigle, Mellon Udrigle 2, Mellon Udrigle 3, Nairn, Nairn Beach, Dornoch, Firemore near Poolewe, Looking for pictures of Beaches in Scotland, we don't have them all (yet), we do hope you enjoy the pictures we do have. HighlandsWe are gradually adding local information on places to visit and see in the Highlands. We love the Scottish Highlands and it is the place to visit to discover wildlife and scenery all in one package. Bed and breakfast in Poolewe, Highland holiday apartments near Poolewe. Scotland is also well known and loved by many people who visit each year to have activity holidays - hill walking, climbing, sailing, fishing are just a few of the many activities you can participate in over a weekend or over a long summer holiday. We have just started working on a Scotland mountains section as well as creating free jigsaw puzzles that you are welcome to share with friends (how else will they find out about this website?) First jigsaw is on Ben Nevis or you may just want to visit the Ben Nevis map and picture page. We have added a page on Carn Liath one of Scotland's broch's - or ancient building used 2000 years ago. Latest pages on Falkland Palace, National Trust of Scotland - Palace and Gardens. We also had a trip to Loch Leven Castle - just brilliant! DunkeldDunkeld in Highland Perthshire should be on everyone's list of places to visit in their lifetime. The magical scenery, wonderful countryside and wide open spaces along with empty beaches allows you to take time out to find your inner self and allow you to meditate and regenerate your inner spirit. Take time out this year and experience Scotland, discovering one of the most wonderful places on the planet. Dunkeld is certainly one of my favourite places and is a close driving distance from Perth, Glasgow and Edinburgh. Visit DunkeldFor the Dumfries and Galloway area we can recommend the Annan online website with a wide range of interesting and useful information. Scotland is teeming with wildlife and for those interested in wildlife you will be able to visit areas throughout Scotland famous for its rare animals and wild flowers. I live in Fife beside the River Tay and when I walk my dogs along the river I often see buzzards flying overhead as well as the more famous inhabitants of the area where I live, namely Ospreys. I take photographs of the swans in the Lindores Loch which is a SSI and often see the Ospreys flying over the loch and diving for the fish. And this is in Fife, just think what you will be able to see when you break out of the lowland areas of Scotland and travel to the north of Scotland into the Scottish Highlands. In these areas you will if lucky be able to see Golden eagles, Sea Eagles as well as wild deer and the smaller creatures including otters. It all makes for a special holiday vacation in Scotland. So make it soon and visit Scotland today. |
