Staycation possibly Scotland

[Theemomum]

I'm preparing thoughts for next years staycation, we would love to travel up to Scotland it's were my family are originally from and id love to explore anywhere within the Scotland region. We love caravans and lodges with hot tubs. Best places in Scotland to stay for 7 nights?, hit me up with positives and negatives, entertainment and yummy places to eat. Thank you.

I agree with all you post except D and G does have a notoriously wet climate it’s on the Gulf Stream so it’s warmer but being on the west makes it much wetter!
If weather matters to you the Morayfirth might be the place to go. Look around Findhorn miles of stunning pale sandy beaches, Cairngorms as easy drive away, great woodland walks Culbin Forrest Randolph’s Leap. Apparently the sunniest place in Scotland.

It does matter when someone states they've never heard something meaning what it actually means. ✌️

If you want beaches consider the Moray coast - stunning coastline, not as busy (generally) as the west coast and has lots to see and do. Think Nairn, Lossie, Cullen area and you can travel east-west very easily. For wet days there is peterhead prison tour and Fraserburgh lighthouse museum. beach walks like Rattray Head lighthouse also worth doing

But did I say it’s wrong and object to how it was used? Just like all the other posters did.

Not quite the mic drop comment you were hoping for was it…?

Peace out!

Can't be bothered with all this ridiculous toing and froing any more which is a pity as I live in Scotland and have lots of useful information to offer.

@Theemomum I hope you have a lovely holiday and if you want any info on the Aberdeen, Inverness or Moray Coast areas, please feel free to PM me 😊

Maybe someone could set up a thread on the change in the meaning of the word ‘staycation’ to divert its current derailment of this discussion?

Just to add - going on holiday within the UK is STILL GOING ON HOLIDAY otherwise I had a very deprived childhood and never went on holiday until I was 18. OP, avoid the tourist hotspots like Sky and the North Coast 500.

Can't help it sorry as it's just such an annoying use of the term.
If its not a holiday because you don't get on a plane what about people who holiday in Europe and drive there.
It's obviously a holiday just in country.

For what it's worth I'd go highlands Nairn is lovely.
I'm from Aberdeen and there's lovely places in Aberdeenshire too (dunnotar castle, grampian transport museum, castle trails) and things to see in the city. Lot more to Scotland than Edinburgh

Yes this is what I don't like about the term. Like somehow having a holiday in the UK is inferior to getting on a plane. Plenty* *families can't even afford day trips away.

There's a danger in suggesting complaining about something shows a lack of 'resilience'. As women, we already do too much putting-up and shutting-up. I agree, this shouldn't mean taking personal offence at anything and everything, but having an unfavourable opinion of something doesn't indicate a lack of resilience - if anything, it's more resilient to say in a reasoned way why you don't think something is right, than it is to let it pass.

I love Eyemouth- not as showy, but a lovely beach, stunning views over the harbour, and a fascinating history. You can drive to the Ford and Etal estate, Alnwick and Lindisfarne, go on a RIB boat tour of the coastline, (controversially) feed the seals in the harbour. There are big hares all over the caravan park, and it’s easy to walk into town for dinner or a roll and cake from Lough’s the bakers.
