Scotbytes Scotland Blog
There must be thousands of accommodation properties in Scotland, judging from the many accommodation websites out there. And I'm sure there are perhaps hundreds of websites that offer links to (some or most) of these accommodations. That however was no reason for me not to start a new website with links to most of the Hotels, Bed and Breakfasts, Self Catering Cottages, Guest Houses and Campsites in Scotland. In fact I dare to say that this is quite a unique accommodation website. The new website covers every area in Scotland, from Dumfries to the Shetlands and from Cape Wrath to the Scottish Borders and currently has over 3200 properties in the database.

Searching for your preferred accommodation is extremely easy and with one click you get to see all the accommodation types in a certain area or town/village.

This time the fireworks will be on Hogmanay, with a concert by "a major Scottish band" also being lined up.

The Blazin’ Fiddles group has already turned down an invitation to perform due to a prior booking. Other events on Hogmanay that have been suggested include seven-a-side football, a Highland games challenge, and an Auld Lang Syne "world-record attempt" in the streets of Inverness.

  • What started as a direct fast link between the continent and mainland Scotland ends already after seven years. The Scotsman reports today that the service will end on Saturday 13 September 2008. The Greek firm Superfast claimed that it wasn't making enough money. As a regular mainland to Scotland traveler I must admit this never proved to be a good alternative, at least not for people living in the Netherlands. The services between Hoek van Holland - Harwich, Hull - Europoort and Ijmuiden - New Castle and even the Eurotunnel and Calais to Dover ferry services were there a long time before Superfast Ferries started their venture.
