Scotland

Visit Scotland by yacht  before it gets too popular Best time to enjoy is May to October. The west coast is usually warmer due to the warm gulfstream   

The dramatic scenery, gorgeous anchorages, islands with castles, lochs and Celtic Fairy tales will keep you intrigued.  

 

Scotland's charm is in its picturesque rolling landscape and centuries of history.  You can enjoy a round of golf, in one of the many public village courses. For those you like shopping you will not find the usual brands but you can learn to love the little local boutiques.
