Scotland
As a destination for holidays and short breaks, Scotland is hard to beat. It has inspiring scenery, fascinating castles, historic houses, beautiful gardens, great places to stay, superb food (and whisky!) – and friendly people. Wherever you go, there are memories waiting to be captured, whether it be a visit to a loch-side castle or a glimpse of spring-time bluebells in a wood. Edinburgh’s historic Castle and Glasgow’s Kelvingrove Museum are worth spending a day in, but when you plan your holiday, remember that lots of small towns and villages have museums and visitor attractions which highlight the local heritage.
Scotland may be a small country but there is plenty to see and do and a good network of roads makes it easy to get around. The railway system also gives good access to many of the towns.
Spend a week in Scotland and you’ll gather memories for a lifetime!
VisitScotland, the national tourist board, will shortly be publishing a guide with almost 1,100 places to stay and to visit, all of them accessible to visitors with mobility impairments.
