Activity Holidays and Outdoor Pursuits in Ayrshire and the Isle of Arran

Ayrshire and Arran (in Scotland's south-west) is one of the great golfing areas of Scotland, but it also offers a whole host of other activities and outdoor pursuits. It's easy to get to too - with quick access to major centres like Glasgow and Edinburgh, and its own international airport at Prestwick.

Hiking, long distance paths, wildlife watching, sailing in Dumfries and Galloway

Dumfries and Galloway and activity holidays go hand in hand together - whether it's bicycling, walking, golfing, fishing or one of a host of other outdoor pursuits. The region - just over the border from England, in Scotland' south-west - is often referred to as Scotland's best-kept holiday secret, the sort of area all too many people drive through without stopping in their rush to get north. And yet - within less than two hours' drive of central Scotland - it is an area rich in opportunities for outdoor pastimes.

Walking, fishing, cycling, watersports in the Scottish Borders

The Scottish Borders offer some great possibilities for outdoor pursuits and activity enthusiasts. The region is rich not only in countryside, (with long vistas of gently rolling green hills as far as the eye can see) but also in turbulent history and heritage, with its ancient towns, castles and abbeys. There is excellent walking and cycling throughout the Borders, a long tradition of horseback riding and truly world class fishing on rivers like the Tweed.
