Welcome
Hello, and welcome to Undiscovered Scotland, the ultimate online guide to Scotland. The site is a combination of visitor guide, accommodation listing and business directory, and aims to show you what the country is really like. We also offer website design, maintenance and hosting services.
Navigation
You can navigate the site using clickable maps like the one on this page or the drop down menus. There are other resources to help you, including the Alphabetical Index, the Site Index, the Accommodation Index, the Late Availability listings page, the Search boxes on most pages (usually below a clickable map), the Site Information section, the What's On? and What's New? pages and Scotfax. In addition we have collections of links to resources such as Tour Operators and Walking and Climbing Holidays and Guiding. Or simply visit a random feature page.
Accommodation can be accessed via the "Accommodation" menu at the top of many pages, including this one, or using the "See and Stay" menus at the top of many other pages.

In Focus
Separated from the southern end of Stromness in Orkney by the town's
golf club is Ness Battery. What you find here are the concrete remains of a gun battery that during WWII
helped guard the naval anchorage at Scapa Flow. You also find here many of the wooden huts that would have accommodated
those manning the guns. One of them comes complete with a magnificently large and deeply poignant mural depicting scenes of rural Kent. (

Featured Book
The End of the Line by Gillian Galbraith (6 June 2019).
After the death of a leading haematologist, antiquarian book dealer Anthony Sparrow clears out his mansion of its books and papers.
He soon begins to question the real circumstances of the old man's death: was he in fact murdered? The answer might be found in the
personal papers which Sparrow unearths. But as he closes in on the answer, the perspective and everything which he was sure about
dissolves into darkness and shadows.
