Scotland is a very diverse country with some really built up areas and some beautiful un-spoilt countryside. If you are looking for a holiday in the UK then Scotland may be the perfect place for you. Or if you want to stay somewhere a little quieter then there is a wide selection on campsites and farmhouses that are surrounded by greenery.
The weather is often a bit cooler in Scotland than in England and they are more prone to snow, especially during the cold winter months. If this is when you are planning your break it is advisable to make sure you allow plenty of time for travel and be prepared to change you dates should the weather take a turn for the worse.
If you enjoy walking, nature and sight seeing then Scotland is a great place to visit. From the middle of England it can take about 6 hours to get to Northern Scotland so be sure to plan activities to do in the car especially if you have children with you. You may even decide to break the journey up by stopping over night half way to give everyone a chance to rest before continuing.
