Holidaying in Scotland

Posted: Jul 20, 2009 |

Bonny Scotland is set to see the amount of visitors to the country soar this summer as more Britons choose to take their main family holiday within these shores, rather than jet off to the sun.

The Camping and Caravanning Club has noted that demand for camping holidays in Scotland has shot up by 40% on the previous year and although camp sites throughout the rest of the UK are also showing increased demand, the uptake for Scottish bookings is rising faster than anywhere else in the British Isles.

Hotel bookings are also on the increase as more people decide to venture north for their summer holiday rather than jet off to foreign shores. Renowned for its stunning countryside and coastline, Scotland also features two of Britain's largest towns in Glasgow and Edinburgh; both packed with numerous attractions for young and old.


In addition, there's the glorious Cairngorms National Park which offers some of the most outstanding scenery, excellent walks and even mountaineering for the adventurous and lovers of the outdoor; plus, the Highlands and a host of other attractions too numerous to mention.

If you are one of the hundreds of thousands heading to Scotland, travel insurance may be a worthwhile consideration. Many people who holiday in the UK forego holiday insurance as their possessions are covered by their home contents insurance. That may well be true but there could be an increase in your home insurance premiums if you make a claim, whereas for a relatively small one-off fee, there's no danger of losing your no-claims bonus plus travel insurance will cover you for much more than your home contents policy.

Although travel insurance will cover you against a number of potential holiday problems, if you are planning on doing anything out of the ordinary - such as an extreme or hazardous sport - it is worth speaking to your provider beforehand whether your travel insurance quote covers you for such activities.

But, whatever it is that draws you to beautiful Scotland you will no doubt have a great time; whether in the cities or the countryside or both!
