INTRODUCTION
Our luxury cottages in Scotland range in location from the undulating lowlands of the border counties to the dramatic mountains of the Highlands, Scotland is a region of immense, untamed natural beauty. The countryside is vivid in all senses – with heather-covered hills of purple, green and gold, cool dark waters of deep lochs and snow-capped peaks of the mountain ranges. Our rental properties are in the Highlands, at the head of the Great Glen on the banks of Loch Ness and in the coastal region of the Kingdom of Fife.
The Highlands are majestic in their beauty, with towering mountains, deep lochs and ancient forests. Our rental properties in the Highlands sit on the banks of Loch Ness, famous for its enigmatic ‘monster’ and dramatic castles. They include a stunning 17th century castle set in 600 acres as well as several small cottages, restored in traditional Scottish style. Loch Ness makes an excellent touring base for nearby attractions, such as Urquhart Castle, the battlefield of Culloden, whisky distilleries and the Moray Firth.
The Kingdom of Fife is probably best known for its links golf courses especially those in and around St Andrews. Indeed, Scotland is widely regarded as the ‘Home of Golf’. There is more to the region than teeing off, however. There are ancient castle to explore and lots of outdoor activities such as horse riding and coastal walks. Scotland’s capital city, Edinburgh is also just over an hour’s drive away and offers an active cultural scene. Our rental properties in Fife are located in the University city of St Andrews, with easy access to the famous golf courses as well as the restaurants and coastal walks.
Scotland’s rich heritage is exemplified in the culture – from its immediately identifiable music and dance to its gastronomy. Despite its reputation, Scottish cuisine is incredibly good and Scottish chefs have an abundance of natural produce to draw inspiration from: rich meat and game, varied seafood, freshwater fish and vegetables ensure a hearty menu. There is an abundance of Michelin starred restaurants, which complement the local cafes and farmers' markets. The Malt Whisky Trail is another delicious reason for visiting Scotland – there are over 45 distilleries which welcome visitors.

PRACTICAL INFO
Great Britain operates on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
English is the principal language across Great Britain.
Great Britain’s unit of currency is the Pound Sterling, divided into 100 Pence.
In Great Britain, travellers cheques are sometimes accepted as payment in larger department stores but can be easily converted into local currency at banks. Hotels, shops, restaurants and many other venues accept all major credit cards and ATM access is widespread. American Express is less widely accepted. Exchange currency only at authorised outlets such as banks and hotels, and exchange only what you think you will spend in-country. Coins cannot be reconverted on departure. Save all receipts from any currency exchange transaction. You may be asked to produce them when you exit the country, and they are required if you intend to reconvert local currency.
A charge for service is often added to restaurant bills but, if it’s not, a typical gratuity would be equal to 10 - 15% of the total. In pubs, tipping lounge staff is at your discretion but is generally not common practice. When paying taxi fares, it is usual to tip up to 10% and round up to the nearest pound.
The British weather has a bad reputation but in actual fact rainy days are nowhere near as common as you may expect. The seasons are marked: In summer, days are bright and usually sunny: Spring and autumn can be cool in the evenings and rain showers are more common; In winter snow is rare but it can be cold and frosty.
While jeans are acceptable, “smart casual” attire in Britain often means stylish trousers or skirt outfit for women and a shirt with collar and trousers for men. Cotton and other light fabrics are comfortable choices for summertime. Spring and autumn temperatures dictate medium-weight clothing selections and in winter warm pullovers are required.
For the countryside, bring comfortable walking shoes with low or no heels. An umbrella or light raincoat may come in handy.
