The cities of Scotland

For visitors who love to get away from it all on hikes, treks and other outdoor activities, Scotland is the place. The cities of Scotland are scattered around the coast and inland in the midst of spectacular countryside perfect for an activity holiday.

The gentle hills and plains of the lowlands to the spectacular Highlands and Islands, all types of activities are available, from golf, skiing, mountaineering, trekking and walking to hiking adventures across the moors and mountains. The specialist site vacation-scotland.co.uk gives full details of activities and locations.

The cities of Scotland can be visited year-round in all weathers, with the Highlands well-known for their ski resorts and weather patterns in the last several years ensuring plenty of snow. The extensive wildernesses, their rivers and lochs and the craggy coastlines are great places for walking and trekking.

Designated national scenic areas as well as national parks provide opportunities for hiking adventures unrivalled in the rest of the UK. Along the coastline are small fishing villages with welcoming pubs and guesthouses for relaxation after a day hiking through glorious scenery, and serve delicious and filling local dishes washed down with Scotland's famous whiskies.

A historic hike along the famed Roman Hadrian's Wall on the border with England takes you through pretty towns with ancient castles built to keep out the English. A search through vacation-scotland.co.uk will give you all you need to know about activity holidays in Scotland.
