Self-catering cottages in Scotland

One of the best ways to see Scotland is by renting a picturesque cottage and immersing yourself in the countryside.

Giving yourself a relaxing base from which to explore, whether it’s in the mountainous Highlands, the rolling hills of the Borders or on one of Scotland’s many islands, a cottage allows flexibility that a hotel doesn’t.

You can see the location of self-catering cottages on the map below.

Clicking on a marker will reveal the name of the cottage and a link to a page about it.
