A land of legend and romantic history, Scotland still has the power to amaze and inspire with its special natural beauty and colourful heritage. Short breaks in Scotland can be enjoyed all year round and for many and varied reasons. Hogmanay Scottish short breaks in Edinburgh and bustling Glasgow will leave even the most energetic reveller breathless. Aberdeen is a popular spot for serious anglers, hikers and nature lovers and its surrounding championship courses are manna from heaven for avid golfers.

Scottish Short Breaks - Unique historic tours
The unique traditions and culture of the Scots ensures a visit can enjoy many interesting and enlightening excursions. These can include a trip to Edinburgh's royal palaces and commanding castle, exploring the social history of Glasgow's old tenements and frights galore on the streets of Old Edinburgh during a nightly ghost tour. Whisky and literary walking tours are also extremely popular. These unique attractions are complemented by a great range of museums and arts venues across the country. Distinctive Rennie Macintosh exhibitions, the famous Burrell Collection and Aberdeen's renowned Maritime museum are just some of the cultural delights in store during a Scottish short break. Glasgow in particular has a surprising array of art galleries and also features a city of modern cutting edge architecture.
Scottish Short Breaks - Simply fabulous shopping opportunities
Shopping is as much of a passion for the Scottish and long weekends are sufficient to browse the wonderful Victorian shopping arcades of Edinburgh or the extravagant boutiques found in Glasgow's Buchanan Street district. Even Aberdeen can boast numerous elegant speciality stores and an atmospheric flea market. Whatever the choice of gifts, high quality workmanship is guaranteed from beautiful Arran knitwear to an antique set of bagpipes. Short breaks in Scotland are always filled with rich natural beauty even in the heart of the big city. Aberdeen has a dramatic, historic harbour and its very own sandy beach just metres away.
