Shetland Islands\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"scotland\"<\/p>\n

The Shetland Isles are a beautiful place to visit whilst exploring Scotland. Either take the boat from the mainland or leave the car and fly, whatever you choose, we guarantee you\u2019ll fall in love with the charming Shetland Islands! Plan your visit alongside the historic Up Helly Aa<\/a>\u00a0Viking festival.\u00a0Imagine lots of flames, hoards of Vikings and lots of fun<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Oldshoremore<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The sprawling hamlet of less the 40 houses is the perfect place to for an idyllic\u00a0Scottish getaway, not least because of its beautiful beach. Its soft, white, sandy beach is\u00a0most definitely\u00a0a great reason to visit, rent a small stone cottage and spend a few days living in this peaceful region of Scotland.<\/p>\n

Loch Ness<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"scotland\"<\/p>\n

Yup, that monster has still not been found! Head over to Loch ness to see if you can spot the grizzly beast for yourself. Make sure to also visit Urquhart Castle that\u2019s around 20 miles away from Inverness and don\u2019t forget to try some\u00a0traditional Scottish foods\u00a0whilst you\u2019re in the area.<\/p>\n

Balmoral<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Near the village of Crathie, Balmoral is a Royal estate that the Queen regularly uses to this day. Make sure to spend half a day discovering its beautiful history and sprawling estate. Balmoral Castle is open to us public between April and July every year, so plan your visit around this.<\/p>\n

Dornie (Eilean Donan Castle)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Arguably, one of the\u00a0prettiest castles in Scotland\u00a0the Eilean Donan Castle is well worth a visit. Nowadays, the castle is open to the public to see inside and discover its history. Just remember to visit between April and December\u00a0(it closes to the public for the first 3 months of the year).<\/p>\n
