RECOMMENDED FAMILY HOLIDAYS IN SCOTLAND - Self Catering Cottages

I used to live in Scotland, so I know how much it has to offer for a family holiday. The Scottish Borders are completely stunning with fabulous scenery and with plenty of interesting tourist attractions to visit so why not stay on one of our farm self catering holiday cottages - we have one near Kelso. The Scottish Highlands are equally as dramatic with stunning, rugged scenery and coastline with magnificent views. We have a group of holiday cottages that overlook the Moray Firth with stunning views and if you are lucky you will catch sight of a few dolphins during your family holiday.

On the West Coast of Scotland there is equally as stunning scenery and our holiday cottages and lodges around Oban are just fabulous - choose an isolated croft on the banks of the loch, a holiday lodge or a luxury apartment in the centre of Oban with links to the Scottish Islands of the Isles of Mull and Lismore. In Central Scotland, Stirling Castle is one of my favourites and ideal for the children to chart the history of the battles between Scotland and England - this tourist attraction is very family friendly and a great place to take the children. You may also wish to visit the bright lights and culture of Scotland's capital in the East - Edinburgh, or in West Scotland, Glasgow is equally as fascinating.

The beauty of family holidays in Scotland is that they are geared towards wet weather and therefore there are a wealth of things to do with the whole family regardless of rain or shine making it the perfect holiday destination whatever the season. Regardless of where in Scotland you visit, you will always receive a warm welcome at the family holiday cottages we feature.

Below is a summary of the family friendly holiday cottage accommodation in Scotland - many have family friendly features such as babysitting, kids club, baby equipment, DVD players, games rooms and swimming pools to keep all of the children occupied whilst you enjoy your holiday too!
