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.

Featured Book
Arguing with the Dead by Alex Nye (25 July 2019).
The year is 1839, and Mary Shelley - the woman who wrote Frankenstein - is living alone in a tiny cottage on the banks of the river
Thames in Putney. As she sorts through her husband's papers she is reminded of their past: the half-ruined villas in Italy, the stormy
relationship with Shelley and her stepsister Claire, the loss of her children, the attempted kidnapping of Claire's daughter Allegra
from a prison-like convent in Florence. And finally, her husband's drowning.
