Scottish scenery hangs on walls all over the world: the sporting activities available are enjoyed by millions, and the whisky, by countless millions more.

Christmas is a special time for most families, and the chance to get away from home and spend the holiday in a Scottish self-catering cottage in an idyllic setting, with log fires, crisp mornings, clear skies at night, and enviable hospitality is on hand in Scotland. From the borders of Scotland to the northern tip of Sutherland in the northern highlands, there are plenty of places to stay for Christmas self-catering: you can rent delightful remote houses in the middle of Perthshire for New Year or cottages near Edinburgh for Hogmanay, or a lodge on an Argyll estate by a loch for a Christmas break. You can stay in a Christmas cottage in Scotland in the Scottish countryside, or a New Year holiday home near Glasgow or Edinburgh - renting a holiday cottage in Scotland for Christmas or a self-catering house in Scotland for New Year (Hogmanay) makes for a very special holiday experience.
Most of the serious festive partying takes place in Glasgow and Edinburgh, especially in Edinburgh at New Year when up to 200,000 people cram into Princes Street for the Hogmany party - fireworks, bands, and all sorts of other entertainment. The bars stay open most of the night and the fun carries on all day on the 1st of January, which is a national holiday in Scotland.
This is one of the busiest times of year for Scottish holiday cottage owners and most self-catering accommodation is available to rent for New Year and Christmas. It is best to book early, but there are Scottish self-catering cottages and houses still available for last minute bookings.
