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.

In Focus
No visitor to Northumberland should miss
Alnwick. It stands approximately half the way up the
length of the county some four miles inland from the coast and just to the west of the main A1
road. The town itself was built on gently sloping ground on the south side of the River Aln and is

Featured Book
The Cyber Puppets by Angus McAllister (15 May 2018).
His life was like a soap opera, but that was only the start of his troubles... Scott Maxwell was worried. Not about his wife Fiona's
unfaithfulness, or about his brother-in-law Wilson Laird's scheming. Scott was more concerned about his lack of free will, his
frequent memory lapses, and the fact that no-one noticed when his father-in-law Hector was replaced by an imposter. And when the
reality around him collapsed, plunging him into a devastated future world, it was time for Scott to be seriously alarmed!
