Scotland in summer is simply the best!

I'm so proud of Scotland, born and bred in the Highlands and having travelled the world, there is nowhere quite as stunningly beautiful, peaceful and vibrant as Loch Ness especially at this time of year.

'40 shades of green'...doesn't come close to the layer upon layer of lush native growth - alive with wildlife and the wonderful chatter of birds.

July is full of events - The Inverness Highland Games in Bught park on the 24th July is an absolute 'must see' for anyone visiting Scotland for the first time. The Inverness Tatoo runs from the 26th - 31st July showcasing the best of Scottish talent.

Only 5 miles drive away from the Stables Cottage and Oscar's Bothy, Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival on 6-8th August has established itself well and truly in the UK's festival calendar and so if camping's not your thing - book the cottages and enjoy the best of both worlds!

There are 30 golf courses within a 1 hrs drive of our cottages here in Drumnadrochit - a spot of salmon fishing can be arranged or perhaps some clay pigeon shooting or an exhilarating trip down Loch Ness in a RIB!

So, don't spend any more time deliberating whether to visit Loch Ness, contact me and book in for a real holiday to remember!

All the best
