Dog Friendly Places to Stay in Scotland

Some holidays are only half a holiday if the dog stays behind, and Scotland is one of the best places anywhere to bring them along. Whether it's a beach with nobody else on it, a hill path that starts at the back door or a village pub with a fire going and a water bowl by the bar, there's room here for the whole family, four legs included.

We've gathered our favourite dog friendly places to stay, from cosy cottages with an enclosed garden to lodges with miles of walking from the doorstep and country hotels that are as pleased to see the dog as they are to see you. Every one of them welcomes dogs, so all that's left is to pack the lead.
