Glasgow-Scotland

Scotland by car

Choose a car holiday this summer. Take your car onboard and discover the natural Highlands or the beautiful Loch Lomond. If you prefer a city, then choose a hotel in charming Edinburgh or bustling Glasgow. Explore castles and ruins from past wars, to hills and mountains. One of the most popular and accessible regions is the area around National Park 'Loch Lomond & The Trossachs'. We have chosen our hotels with care, so you just have to pick your favourite.
