Child Friendly Holidays Scotland
Scotland does something to children that very few holiday destinations manage. It makes the world feel genuinely big. The scale of the Highlands, the emptiness of the islands, the darkness of the lochs and the age of the castles all land differently here than anywhere else in the UK, and children feel it. For families visiting for the first time, Perthshire and the southern Highlands are the natural starting point. Close enough to Edinburgh and Glasgow to feel accessible, far enough into the landscape to feel properly away. Luxury holiday cottages in Scotland with mountain views, log fires and red squirrels in the garden are the staple here, and they deliver exactly what families come for. The west coast and the islands are for families ready to go further. Mull, Islay, Skye and the Outer Hebrides each have their own character, but they share the same extraordinary quality of light, the same white sand beaches that stop you mid-sentence and the same unhurried pace that makes it almost impossible to feel stressed. The ferry crossings become part of the holiday rather than a means to an end. The Cairngorms National Park is Scotland's great outdoor playground for active families. The UK's largest national park offers mountain biking, white water rafting, wildlife watching, osprey trails and some of the best walking in Britain. Family campsites and glamping sites in this part of Scotland are exceptional, and in winter, lodges with hot tubs near Aviemore add skiing and snowsports to the mix. Edinburgh deserves more than a day trip. Scotland's capital is one of the finest city break destinations in Britain for families with older children. The castle, the Royal Mile, the Scottish National Museum (free, outstanding, could absorb a full day), and in August the Fringe turns the entire city into something children find completely overwhelming in the best possible way. We're proud to offer child-friendly holidays Scotland-wide, from luxury cottage holidays on working estates to family campsites beside sea lochs.
