Some of the most breathtaking scenery in the world can be experienced when staying in a cottage in Scotland. The Border country south of Edinburgh and Glasgow gives you the convenience of city facilities with the splendour of countryside living. This inspiring landscape has been the destination of poets and authors for hundreds of years and many a verse has been written about this area of Scotland.

The gently rolling hills of the border country is the location for many holiday rental cottages in Scotland and an area that has always proven to be a popular destination with visitors. The poems of Robbie Burns and Sir Walter Scott emphasise and reflect the wondrous sights available, abbey ruins and castles, majestic stately homes and romantic villages are to be found spread throughout the region and all are a reflection of Scotland’s proud historic past.

There are isolated and peaceful beaches fringed with ragged cliff faces, ancient woodland forests and salmon filled cascading rivers. Golf is also available and why not treat yourself to some of the best whisky in the world?  There are some of the oldest and most challenging links courses in this area but a nip of some of the famous whiskies produced locally will soon warm you up if it gets a bit cold.

Staying in a holiday cottage in Scotland will give you chance to appreciate the gentler side of life and afford you the opportunity to get to know the real Scotland, it culture and its warm hearted, friendly people.
