Frequently asked questions about short term rentals in Scotland

  • What attractions should one visit during a week-long stay in Scotland?

    A week in Scotland allows for a taste of the Highlands and the Lowlands. Start in Edinburgh, exploring Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile, and Holyrood Palace. Then, head north to the Highlands, perhaps visiting Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle, or taking a scenic train journey on the Jacobite Steam Train (the Hogwarts Express!). Consider a whisky distillery tour in Speyside. For a city break beyond Edinburgh, Glasgow offers vibrant culture and architecture, including the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum.
  • What are the best short term rentals in Scotland?

    Among the short term rentals in Scotland, The Stable River Garry Lodges - With Hot Tubs, Ploughman's Rest and Harava Lodge are the most popular ones.

  • What attractions should one visit when spending a month in Scotland?

    A month gives ample time for a deeper exploration. Besides the highlights mentioned above, consider the Isle of Skye, known for its dramatic landscapes like the Old Man of Storr and the Fairy Pools. Explore the Cairngorms National Park for hiking and stunning scenery. Visit St Andrews, famous for its golf course and historic university. Take a ferry to Orkney or Shetland for a truly remote experience. Don't forget to allocate time for smaller towns and villages, discovering hidden gems along the way.
  • What are the best short term rentals with a pool in Scotland?

  • What currency is used in Scotland, and how easy is it to find ATMs?

    Scotland uses the pound sterling (£). ATMs are incredibly common, found in most towns and cities, often inside banks, shops, and even at petrol stations. Finding cash shouldn't be a problem.
  • What are the best short term rentals with a jacuzzi in Scotland?

  • What are the most charming areas to spend a weekend in Scotland?

    For a charming weekend, consider St Andrews with its historic university and coastal setting, or Pitlochry, a picturesque town in Perthshire with access to beautiful walks and the Blair Athol Distillery. Inveraray, on the shores of Loch Fyne, offers stunning scenery and a charming castle. Portree on the Isle of Skye is another excellent choice, but requires more travel time.
  • What are the best short term rentals for families and kids in Scotland?

  • Which areas in Scotland are best for an extended stay?

    The Highlands offer the best options for a longer stay, providing ample opportunities for hiking, exploring lochs and glens, and discovering remote villages. The Isle of Skye and the Outer Hebrides are also ideal for those seeking a slower pace of life and stunning natural beauty. For a blend of city and nature, the Perthshire region provides a good balance.
  • Is Scotland safe for solo travellers, including women?

    Scotland is generally considered safe for solo travellers, including women. However, as with any travel destination, it's wise to exercise common sense and be aware of your surroundings, particularly at night. Stick to well-lit areas and avoid walking alone in isolated places.
  • Which region of Scotland is most popular for its pleasant weather?

    Scotland's weather is notoriously unpredictable. However, the central belt, encompassing areas like Edinburgh and Glasgow, tends to experience slightly milder temperatures and less rainfall than the Highlands and islands. Even then, be prepared for all types of weather, regardless of location.
  • What should one do if one loses their passport or documents in Scotland?

    Report the loss to the local police immediately and obtain a police report. Contact your embassy or consulate in Edinburgh for assistance with replacing your passport. You'll need to follow their procedures for emergency travel documents.
  • What seasonal celebrations make Scotland special?

    Hogmanay (New Year's Eve) is a major celebration in Scotland, with street parties and fireworks in many cities. St Andrew's Day (30th November) celebrates Scotland's patron saint. Various local festivals and Highland Games take place throughout the summer months, showcasing traditional Scottish music, dance, and athletics.
