Holiday cottages in Scotland


Typically at a highland games, highland dancing, massed pipe bands, solo piping, cycling, running races, an overseas visitors race are fairly usual events, as well as a hill race, heavy events - such as tossing the caber and hammer throwing, clay Pigeon Shooting, adult and children's races, pet and dog Shows as well as some championship medals. Children and adults will enter dancing competitions, sord dancing and highland dancing platforms will be dotted about the arena. They are a great day out for the family and an ideal way to get a flavour of Scotland and Scottish tradition! There will be many people in traditional dress, the sound of pipes and a very jolly atmosphere!

The range of vacation accommodation in Scottish towns is superb - isolated holiday lets hidden away, very comfortable self catered apartments, beautiful bothies, and interesting historic houses and turreted castles. No matter what sort of Scottish house you are browsing for you will find a vast choice at 'Scotland Holiday Cottage' - 2 bedroom to 10 bedrooms accommodating groups of families, these vacation homes will make the perfect place for your holiday in Scotland.

It is fun to find accommodation close to the towns with the Highland games as the atmosphere in the preparation is very good. However you can base yourself centrally and tour around. Self catering accommodation generally runs week to week so that makes for a good base, and bed and breakfast accommodation can of course be for as many days as you dictate. Large holiday cottages are great for family gatherings, sleeping up to 14 guests.
