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
As you drive along the A98 from

street. ( More ...)

Featured Book
Calton Hill: And the plans for Edinburgh's Third New Town by Kirsten Carter McKee (6 September 2018).
Calton Hill stands on the eastern edge of Edinburgh's centre. Development began in the late eighteenth century with the intention of
changing the rural periphery into the new urban core of the city. This book considers how the architectural expression of Calton Hill
has been perceived, accepted and rejected as ideas surrounding cultural identity, governance and nationalism have changed over the last
200 years.
