The Edinburgh / Lothians / West Lothian region

This area of Scotland is the perfect base for a touring holiday with almost every area of the country within reach. Whatever your interests, be it sport and recreation, history, lochs and mountains or just relaxing, central Scotland offers the visitor a year-round experience. The Edinburgh area has been at the heart of Scotland's history for a thousand years, and more contemporary attractions like St Andrew's, the home of golf, and Roslin Chapel, made famous by the Da Vinci Code, are within easy reach. The scenic grandeur of the Scottish Highlands is equally easily available, and Loch Ness, and a chance to spot the monster, makes a great day out.

The Linlithgow area

The area around Linlithgow has lots to offer visitors. Absolutely unmissable is the Falkirk Wheel, a marvellous piece of engineering opened in 2000 to reconnect Edinburgh and Glasgow by canal, which offers you the opportunity to experience a rotating boat lift! Just a few miles away, Cairnpapple is one of the oldest historic sites in the UK with artefacts some 5000 years old. For those into more contemporary entertainment the annual Edinburgh International Festival is one of the world's biggest and best, running throughout August and including the famous Military Tattoo. Linlithgow itself is the birthplace of two iconic figures - Mary, Queen of Scots and Scotty of Star Trek fame!

“An ideal place for exploring Scotland” The check-in is made very easy. I phoned Mr. Williamson 10 miles before arriving at Linlithgow and so we found our keys (and a tasty cake) inside. A few hours later Mr. Williamson visited us to check everything was ok. The cottage itself was very clean and spacious for four persons. The location is very good, too. For example, you can see the castle of Linlithgow from the terrace in front of the house. Moreover you can visit very beautiful places from Linlithgow, e.g. the Hopetoun House or Edinburgh (transfer to the capital by train is recommended). We also visited Loch Ness and the famous Eilean Donan Castle from here. To sum it all up, the trip to Scotland was one of our best holidays. I say thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Williamson.

“Great place and location” Great place in great location. Ideal location for many attractions both in city and country. Spacious accommodation for a family. Safe interesting outdoor area for children. Only improvement that could be made were the pillows.

“scotish country style” we were blown away by the great location being out in the country but close to major cities and shops, supermarkets and restuarants the fittings and comfort of the cottage was outstanding should we get back to Scotland in the future we will definitely be back for a longer stay
