Historic Scotland

Explore the rich heritage of Scotland – and live in it!

Glasgow UniversityIf you’re considering enjoying the heritage of Scotland, and want to find out more about, or simply feel the weight of our history, make sure you get into the real historic Scotland!  There is nothing quite like staying in a historic Scottish location, where you can experience what it might have been like to be part of an earlier time and re-capture the beauty of historic places such as Fife fishing villages, Glasgow’s industrial might or near the royal castles and ancient distilleries of the Highlands.

You may choose to stay in a luxury modern apartment in Stirling or Edinburgh, or an old stone-built cottage in Glencoe, but either way, self catering ‘home-from-home’ accommodation can really leave you feeling an authentic part of the local community.
