What Makes Scotland Perfect For Dogs?

 

Scotland is the ideal adventure destination for humans and dogs alike. The scenery is stunning and the opportunities for walks are endless. Scotland’s mainland has over six thousand miles of coastline to explore, filled with beautiful dog-friendly beaches. Think of golden sands and crisp blue waters where dogs can take a refreshing dip or walk along the headland.

Whether it’s Aberdeenshire on the eastern coast, Inverness in the Scottish Highlands, or on the southern coast at Dumfries and Galloway, there are a plethora of cosy cottages and luxury holiday homes to choose from in this beautiful country! If it’s self-catering you’re after, there are plenty of cottage options available, for every breed and budget. You also have lots of pet-friendly pubs and restaurants to choose from, so you can bring your dog with you as you dine on delicious dishes after a long day of adventuring.

Our Dog-Friendly Insider Tips for Scotland

 

For beach lovers, Westport Beach in Argyll is a fabulous dog-friendly coastal walk if you’re staying in Argyll and Bute. The six-mile-long stretch of sand is situated just in front of the beautiful Machrihanish Dunes. This beach is extremely popular with dog walkers, and we can see why!

 

Drumlanrig Castle in Dumfries and Galloway is another lovely choice for a day out where you can bring your dog along. The 17th-century castle is situated in the Queensberry Estate complete with acres of country park and Victorian gardens for your pup to play in.

 

And of course, the Cairngorms National Park in the heart of Scotland is a must-visit. The largest National Park in the UK, this beautiful park is home to peaceful lochs, castles and an abundance of walking trails for beginner to advanced walkers. Wherever you visit in the Cairngorms, your dog is sure to be grateful for it!
