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 Campervan and Motorhome Hire. 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
Raasay is
a fascinating island for many reasons. One of its less well known attractions
is a 1.5 metres high Pictish symbol stone carved with three distinct
symbols standing just to the inland side of the single track
coast road a short distance north of Raasay House. Its location is,
unusually, not marked on the Ordnance Survey 1:50,000 map, but it is
easy enough to spot as you pass, and it is possible to park nearby
without causing an obstruction. ( More

Featured Book
The Tick and the Tock of the Crocodile Clock by Kenny Boyle (3 May 2022).
An aspiring writer from the Southside of Glasgow, Wendy is in a rut. She tries to brighten her call-centre job by shoehorning as
many long words as possible into conversations with customers. But her manager isn’t amused by that and Wendy walks out. She finds
consolation in a surprise friendship with wild-child painter Cat. It’s just what Wendy needs. Kenny Boyle’s debut novel takes us deep
into the psyche of a likeable misfit who treads a fine line between reality and fantasy.
