Leisure Holidays in Scotland

Short breaks and holidays in wonderful Scottish countryside locations...

McMillan Hotels are ideal for leisure holidays and short breaks in Scotland, being located in two of the most beautiful regions in Scotland - Dumfries and Galloway and the Scottish Borders.

Both Dumfries and Galloway and The Scottish Borders are ideally located for Glasgow, Edinburgh and the north of England. Each has a unique style and a very individual character.

Leisure Holidays in Dumfries & Galloway

There is so much to do whilst you enjoy a short break in Dumfries and Galloway you will never be bored, with something for everyone who stays for a few days or even a longer holiday.

You can choose from cycling, 32 golf courses, 5 salmon fishing rivers, watersports, castles, stately homes, beautiful gardens, museums, book and art festivals, and miles and miles of walks through nature reserves, forests, rugged coastline and sandy beaches.  This area is steeped in culture, as you would expect from the home of Robert Burns.

Make your holiday or break in Dumfries and Galloway even better by staying at a McMillan Hotel, choose from Cally Palace Hotel and Golf Course in Gatehouse of Fleet, Kirroughtree Country House Hotel in Newton Stewart, Fernhill Hotel in Portpatrick and North West Castle Hotel in Stranraer.

Leisure Holidays in the Scottish Borders

Not to be outdone, the Scottish Borders is just as exciting an area to visit for a holiday or short break. 

The town of Peebles is just 20 miles south of Edinburgh, but feels a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of the city. 

There are numerous walks through the beautiful Tweed Valley, mountain biking at the famous Glentress Forest, fishing for salmon on the Tweed, championship golf courses, stately homes such as Traquair House, the beautiful botanic gardens at Dawyck (pictured above), jazz, art and music festivals and the Peebles Beltane Festival, as well as great restaurants, bars and shopping.  And Edinburgh is only half an hour away for sightseeing and heritage.

Make Peebles your base when visiting the Scottish Borders for a holiday or short break, you can choose from Peebles Hydro Hotel in the Borders or the Park Hotel in Peebles.
