Holidays in Scotland

We love being on holiday with our dogs in the Scottish Highlands, we loved it so much that we moved to the Highlands to live and our dogs just love the sandy beaches and forest walks we take them on. The inspiration for living in the Highlands came from our 8 years of being on holiday in Wester Ross, staying at the small hamlet of Camusnagaul near to Dundonnell. This is about 30 miles south of Ullapool.

The Highlands offer so much for all the family and we know that your dogs will love the freedom of a holiday in Scotland.

Holidays in the Highlands of Scotland

Wester Ross Holiday Cottages

Holidays in Wester Ross in the Highlands of Scotland offer so much, with plenty of open space you can walk for hours over hills and mountains or alongside beautiful Scottish lochs.

If you plan to take your dog then please remember that sheep and other farm animals are often allowed to roam wild in the Highlands and you therefore need to keep your dog(s) under strict control and all time. So take a long extending lead with you and this will allow your pet to enjoy exploring about while you can also relax and know that it will not go running off chasing sheep, deer or other animals.

The area also has clean sandy beaches and it is only a couple of hours easy driving from Inverness.

Scottish Highland Holidays

Highland Scotland has many beautiful sandy beaches where dogs are welcome. Many families enjoy a beach holiday and in Scotland you have a wide choice of holiday destinations where a beach holiday can be found. This beach is in Gairloch in Wester Ross and is next to the Gairloch Golf Course. As with all beach holidays children and dogs need to be supervised at all times to ensure their safety.

Families enjoy the Highlands and a holiday in the Highlands of Scotland open up many exciting outdoor activities from sailing, kayaking, fishing, hill walking, horse and pony trekking, surfing and much more. The holiday accommodation available to families and people who love to go on holiday with their dogs is also extensive, the best way to enjoy a holiday in the Highlands is to go self catering and you will find many self catering holiday cottages that accept well behaved dogs (and children!). You can also go caravanning or for a real adventure - camping. While wild camping is allowed in Scotland there is many advantages to camping in a recognised camp site and in Wester Ross you will find several well organised camping and caravan sites at Gairloch, Poolewe and Ullapool as well as other smaller camp sites.

Stay at Camusnagaul, near Dundonnell

The accommodation in the small hamlet of Camusnagaul is available all year round and you will find the cottages very comfortable. The views from both cottages look over Little Loch Broom, a sea loch and we have watched dolphins from the cottages, in fact when we rented a boat dolphins swam very close to us. Our fishing trip in that occasion was not very successful however seeing the dolphins was a brilliant experience. At Camusnagaul there is a boat charter company Creag Ard Charters, run by Richard Ross, and Richard will take you out sea fishing or scuba diving by arrangement.
