Highlands

Perhaps the most well known region of Scotland are the Highlands. I had heard of this area from numerous people that have had the opportunity to visit, but I never thought that I would find myself there, until last year.

Self, Good Job

Somewhat left to my own devices, I was put in charge of planning our family's next vacation. While many stress at such an undertaking, I must say that I rather enjoyed it. Looking at some of the Short break Scotland Hotels that were available, I began to imagine the possibilities. We could make day trips to some of the larger cities of Scotland, or perhaps hike the Highlands.

A New Yorker in Perthshire

Located in the hear of Scotland, Perthshire is well kept secret of the country. Home to some of the most wonderful towns: Aberfeldy, Auchterarder, Loch Tay, Glen Lyon, Ochils, and Gleneagles, those that find the time to make it to Perthshire, simply known as Perth, will be rewarded with some of the most beautiful surroundings available.

Hidden Gems Around the World

Some of the world’s great sights and cities are famous across the planet. Who among us isn’t familiar with the image of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, Big Ben in London, Niagara Falls or the Colosseum in Rome? Even if we have never visited these places, the images are so widely celebrated in film, on television and in magazines and newspapers that we already feel familiar with them. Other destinations are less well known, but none the less worthy of a visit than their better known counterparts.
