10 Reasons To Visit The Highland and Islands Of Scotland This Christmas

Are you looking for a different Christmas experience this year? Here are 10 reasons to visit the Highlands and Islands of Scotland for a special festive break.

1. If you find the festive period a bit stressful, what with the busy roads and hectic high streets, then a break to the Highlands and Islands of Scotland will be a welcome change of pace.

2. If you're tired of the mild temperatures and lack of snow we get elsewhere in the UK, why not venture further north for more festive temperatures.

3. If you're looking for something to do with the children this year, then why not visit Dundee and see the home of the Beano and Dandy. The fourth largest city in Scotland is famous for Dennis the Menace and Desperate Dan and has much to entice the family.

4. If you have relatives that live in the likes of Barra, Benbecular or Inverness and they're forever making the trip to you at Christmas, why not visit them for a change this year.

5. If you like to escape Christmas altogether, where better than in one of the more remote villages in the Highlands and Islands? Find the right location and you'll feel a million miles away from the hustle and bustle on the high street.

6. If you like to holiday at Christmas and usually go abroad, but have a tighter budget this year due to the economy, why not enjoy a break in Scotland's far north? It may not be as warm as what you're used to, but it'll offer a different experience.

7. The highlands of Scotland are also known for being a great skiing, including locations like Nevis Range, Glencoe and The Lecht.

8. If you feel the rest of the UK gets a bit tacky over Christmas, why not see the enchanting and traditional way the villages of the Highlands & Islands celebrate this time of year.

9. Many Scottish resorts will host Christmas festivals and parties throughout the winter break, so it could provide you with a fascinating glimpse of how others celebrate Christmas.

10. With numerous local airports, affordable flights and great accommodation, everything you need is ready and waiting for your visit. One you've tried it once, you may never want to spend Christmas anywhere else.

So, if you'd like to plan a trip, why not check out deals for Barra hotels or hotels in Benbecula, to name just two great locations?
