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 Cruising and Boat Charters. 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.
Header Slides
Today's header slides are a view of Bass Rock from the little known beach at Seacliff in East Lothian; and a close up of the carving on the Rodney Stone, a Pictish symbol stone standing near Brodie Castle in Moray.

In Focus
Some people will
be surprised to find out that you can still travel "over the sea to
Skye". Yes, most know that there's a ferry operating from Mallaig to
Armadale. But how many also know that from Easter
to October there's a vehicle ferry that still provides a much closer
alternative to the Skye Bridge, and one every visitor should consider
taking? The Glenelg to Kylerhea Ferry crosses the shortest gap between the
Isle of Skye and the mainland. ( More

Featured Book
The Silent Traveller in Edinburgh by Chiang Yee (6 June 2019).
Chiang Yee was, in his own words, 'dazzled' by the Scottish capital. From the Meadows to Princes Street, from Arthur's Seat
to Calton Hill and Edinburgh Castle, he paints an unforgettable picture of the city and its people in the 1940s. Writing with
wry humour, he broadens our perspective of familiar sights and customs, introduces us to Confucian philosophy and Chinese poetry,
corrects cultural misconceptions, and encourages us to appreciate life.
