Romantic Valentine's Day breaks in Scotland to take in 10 cosy towns and villages
13.02.2023 - 17:37 / dailyrecord.co.uk
With Valentine's Day just about here, most couples will have already planned how to spend the big day.
Whether it's an intimate dinner at a nice restaurant, or a relaxing spa day, there are countless ways to celebrate. Even if you have left it to the very last minute, do not fear.
Instead of rushing to the supermarket to buy the first bouquet of roses or stuffed bear you come across, why not head to one of Scotland's countless breathtaking villages and towns this weekend for a romantic getaway?
We've pulled together some of the most perfect Scottish destinations that will offer the ideal place to stay for a Valentine's Day break.
The Isle of Skye is one of the most striking locations in Scotland, if not the world. From the iconic fairy pools to the historic Dunvegan Castle, there is plenty to see and do.
The best spot to stay on the island is its largest town, Portree, which has easy access to the island's many sights and also has plenty to offer itself. The harbour is the perfect spot for a romantic photo, while there are numerous cosy pubs and restaurants serving up delicious local cuisine.
The Scottish Borders is home to some of the most picturesque spots in all of Scotland, including the small town and civil parish of Melrose. If you're looking for things to do while in the town, head to Melrose Abbey — which is not only stunning but is also the resting place of Robert the Bruce's heart.
After you've done that, there are numerous family butchers, bakers and chocolate makers on Melrose's historic High Street that will make you feel like you've journeyed back in time. Before heading to one of the town's Michelin-recommended restaurants, make sure you try a Melrose tart — a pastry that includes honey, brown sugar, and ginger.
