Exploring the Scottish Borders - It's still school holiday time, so the "Boys" are off on a road trip to the Scottish Borders in a stylish old car. This region of Scotland tends to get bypassed as most tourists head north to the Highlands. But this area is rich in history and is definitely off the beaten track. In this blog, we give you ideas for quiet places to visit if you fancy a tour of the Borders.
Small Island Hideaways - If you want to experience the magical atmosphere of the Hebrides, it’s often better to go to the quieter islands so you can fully appreciate the tranquility of island life. This July we covered 342 miles sailing on ferries as we explored the often-overlooked little islands of Colonsay, Oronsay, Lismore, and Coll. In this video, we try to give you some idea of what to expect when you visit the smaller Scottish islands.
Charm of Galloway - On the basis of how busy we are at Secret Scotland, and the feedback we hear from B&Bs, it looks like 2024 could be a record year for International visitors coming to Scotland. Popular places, like Skye, have hardly any accommodation available in August. But there are places in Scotland where you can have a great holiday without any crowds. In this blog, we give you suggestions on how to spend 2 days around the quiet attractions of Galloway.
