The Isle of Skye. One of Scotland’s better known western islands, the Isle of Skye offers visitors a choice of historic hotels in completely unspoilt landscapes. It’s connected to the mainland by a road bridge, seasonal ferry and is easily reached by private car or public transport.
Glasgow. Surrounded by national parks and breathtaking scenery, a romantic trip to Glasgow isn’t just restricted to the city streets. Stay centrally to enjoy the historic architecture of the Necropolis or a little out of town for easy access to Loch Lomond.
