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
The Scottish Seabird Centre overlooks
North Berwick harbour. Neither the design nor
the location of the building are a coincidence. From many angles the roofline is very reminiscent
of a bird's wing, and the whole feel is of a building in harmony with its surroundings. The
location gives views out to the islands of Fidra, Craigleith, Bass Rock and, on a clear day, the
Isle of May, whose avian residents are a large part of why the centre is here. (

Featured Book
Eyes Turned Skywards by Ken Lussey (31 May 2018).
Wing Commander Robert Sutherland has left his days as a pre-war detective far behind him. Or so he thinks. On 25 August 1942 the Duke of Kent, brother
of King George VI, is killed in northern Scotland in an unexplained air crash; a second crash soon after suggests a shared, possibly sinister, cause.
Bob Sutherland is tasked with visiting the aircraft's base in Oban and the first crash site in Caithness to gather clues as to who might have had reason
to sabotage one, or both, of the aircraft.
