Scotland offers a wide range of accommodation from hostel beds to B&Bs, hotels, and self catering holiday homes bookable through sites like Airbnb. We recommend booking in advance, especially in the Highlands and Islands through the peak season. Expect to pay £100-200 per night averagely. 

Scotland has a huge range of dining options, from traditional pubs and local cafes, to fine dining, and lots more in between. Be sure to try local specialities like haggis, neeps, and tatties, and a full Scottish breakfast too! We have a whole website dedicated to Scottish food that you can see here – Scottish Scran. 

You can visit all year round, but the main tourist season runs from late March to early October and some businesses are seasonal, which means they close over the winter months. The best weather is often in April and May, but you never know what you’re going to get when it comes to Scottish weather!

There are bus and rail links across the whole country, and beyond to England. Buses are usually a cheaper option than trains unless you book further in advance. There are also ferries servicing the islands. It’s advisable to book in the summer months, especially if you want to take a car on the ferry.
