A Summer Staycation!

With the news that UK and overseas airports are facing chaos due to lack of staff and strikes, flying abroad can seem like more hassle than it’s worth. We are bombarded with tales of long queues from people trying to enter France, Spanish airports carrying out strikes and UK airports cancelling flights because they simply can’t cope.
Have you considered a staycation? If you live in the central belt of Scotland we have so many great places on our doorstep including Arran, Ayreshire, Bute, the Highlands and further afield, Oban and the Isle of Skye. You simply load up the car and you’re on your way! You could even explore one of the Scottish Cities for a weekend break – enjoying one of Edinburgh’s Michelin starred restaurants – one of the reason’s it’s Time Out’s City of the Year 2022!
Places such as the picturesque Scottish Highlands and Islands rival beauty spots in Italy, India, Canada, Australia and the USA with the north of Scotland highlighted for its natural beauty and burgeoning tourism due to new travel routes such as the North Coast 500.
The Highlands and Islands offer a growing choice in innovative and quirky accommodation options for travellers, from cosy kitted-out cottages to state-of-the-art camping and caravan spots.

Visiting these remote areas is now easier than ever due to the North Coast 500 and North East 250 routes, with top eateries dotted along the way showcasing Scotland’s fresh produce, from seafood shacks to fine dining options – not to mention one of the many distilleries for a tour and a wee dram tasting!

Nature spotting and outdoor pursuits also abound in the highlands, with water sports, walking, cycling, skiing and hiking being a few of the ways to have fun and fill your lungs with the fresh Scottish air. Some of the top Highland hiking routes, especially if you are into Munro bagging, include The Saddle at Kintail, Ben Alligin near Torridon and The Ring of Steall at Mamores – a circuit that takes in 4 Munro peaks!

Highlands

And we haven’t even mentioned the breath-taking white sand beaches and aquamarine waters of the North West mainland coastline and Outer Hebridean Isles, including Lewis and Harris. Add in the famous warm Scottish welcome and you can see why the Highlands are a memorable, world-class destination for travellers from across the world.

Highlands

We are so lucky to have such beautiful landscape to explore on our doorstep, with The Highlands and Islands being more accessible than ever, helping to make Scotland one of the best places in the world to call home.
