For short breaks Scotland is a great idea as a destination because there is such a range of different ways to spend your time in this picturesque country. The last time I visited was in August last year when I went whale spotting in the waters surrounding the Isle of Egg.
This is the time of year when the whales are migrating and once you arrive on the island you will find miles of sandy beaches and deserted countryside stretching past the horizon. August is also a great time of year to visit Edinburgh because this is the month in which the Fringe, Film and Book festivals all overlap. The architecture to be found throughout Edinburgh is also quite exceptional. Make sure that you stroll via the cathedral or take a walk along the city’s walls for excellent cityscapes. For short breaks Scotland is also a great destination because of the fact that you can go to an Old Firm derby football match between Celtic and Glasgow Rangers. These games always guarantee superb action due to the historic rivalry between the two teams, so you are sure of seeing a football match packed with enough controversy, incident and crunching hacks to make your eyes bleed. If you are planning to attend one of these games, makes sure that you save yourself time and money by buying your ticket to the match and your accommodation at the same time in a bundle. This is the best way to go about getting value for money: just google ‘short break Scotland Glasgow Old Firm’ and you will be presented with numerous ways in which to achieve this goal.
Another idea that you might want to consider if you are thinking of visiting Scotland is to book yourself in for a weekend in one of the nation’s many spas, which are world-renowned due to the high-mineral content of the waters that pour from the peaks of the Highlands. If you are thinking of doing this then makes sure that you check out the deals that are available to you if you book early and online.
