There are few countries in the world more romantic than Scotland. You can choose from a romantic city break in Edinburgh or a vacation in a castle set in the highland countryside. Scotland is truly one of the world's best romantic vacation destinations and the chance to tour Scotland could be a once in a lifetime opportunity. The Romance of Robert Burns Take a vacation in “Burns country” and explore the rolling inland hills and the romantic seashore of the Ayrshire and Dumfries regions. Places to visit include the town of Ayr with its shops, seashore, hotels and restaurants. Golf enthusiasts won't want to miss Troon, Turnberry and Prestwick. Those who enjoy the peace and quiet of rolling hillsides should include the New Galloway forest park in their vacation itinerary. This region of Scotland is easy to reach from Glasgow or Edinburgh – both cities have busy airports with regular flights. The main motorway routes of the M74 and the M77 are also well placed to serve the Ayrshire and Dumfries regions.
A Romantic Vacation on Skye Speed bonny boat like a bird on the wing – over the sea to Skye. The truth is that taking a romantic vacation on the Isle of Skye is now much easier since the building of the Skye Bridge about ten years ago. The trip is still long from any of Scotland's major towns or cities but the drive is more than worthwhile. If you want to really step back in time then visit Glen Elg and take one of the shortest but most dramatic ferry crossings from the mainland to Skye. This is the route taken for centuries by shepherds and drovers bringing their herds to markets in the South. Glen Elg is near to the spot where Gavin Maxwell wrote the book “Ring of Bright Water” – and otters still abound in the region. The Glen Elg hotel is a great choice for a romantic vacation that is truly “away from it all” Some choose to stay in a romantic Scottish Castle for the vacation trip of a lifetime
Other Romantic Vacation Destinations in Scotland include: Perth and Dunkeld – with rolling tree covered hillsides and dramatic scenery Stirling – a historic small town with an ancient castle set high on a rock and dominating the countryside for miles around. Take a romantic vacation in the footsteps of William Wallace and Robert the Bruce. Glencoe – this small peat smoked village nestles in the lea of some of the worlds most dramatic mountains. Atmospheric to say the least. A must see if you are visiting the highlands. Eilean Donan castle is set in the region of Kintail - on the road to the Isle of Skye - and is quite breathtaking in its majesty and beauty. Inverness and the Cairngorm mountains provide a romantic vacation destination and a great place to stay in the heart of the highlands.
