Scotland is the ideal place to escape from it all and here's the top 5 reasons why we think you'll love it...

 

1. Beautiful beaches – Scotland is home to some of the UK's most stunning coastline - from pristine Blue Flag beaches to hidden rocky coves, there are over 6000 miles of spectacular shoreline waiting to be explored.

Whether you're into sunbathing or sailing, windsurfing or walking, there's so much to see and do.  With so much choice, if you can't decide which beach to visit, have a look at our Beaches in Scotland page for some inspiration.

2. Picturesque countryside – Scotland is famous for its stunning scenery with mile upon mile of unspoiled countryside, acres of enchanting woodland and mountains spread across the country.

Spend your days leisurely exploring some of Scotland's untouched landscape or for the more adventurous there are mountains such as Ben Nevis waiting to be scaled.
