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. 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 of Corgarff Castle, standing in a wild and lonely spot at the head of Strathdon in Aberdeenshire; and the view east over Lyness on Hoy in Orkney to Scapa Flow and the islands of Fara and Flotta.

In Focus
Ardaneaskan,
south of Lochcarron, is a nice little place in its own right, but a
real bonus for visitors is to discover (as we did from a small roadside
sign) that there is a croft museum here. To reach it you follow a track
downhill towards the shore for fifty yards or so, into a group of cottages
and outbuildings. The museum is housed in what looks to be an old barn.
Some of the exhibits are gathered around the building, while the rest
are inside. ( More
