Christmas Breaks in Scotland

Welcome to our hand picked selection of outstanding great value Christmas, Hogmanay and New Year breaks and programmes professionally presented by some lovely hotels and inns throughout Scotland.

Hogmanay is a more important festival in Scotland than Christmas, although in the present day, most Scots celebrate Christmas the traditional way with turkey and all the trimmings. So why not have somebody else cook the turkey this year! Or, if that's not enough - escape from the family altogether. Our Christmas breaks in Scotland are the ideal opportunity to savour two feasts, the unrivalled natural beauty and therapeutic charm of Scotland, and superb Scottish cuisine and hospitality.

All the hotels and inns in Scotland featured on our site offer a uniquely Scottish experience as well as specially priced short break packages to make your Christmas break and celebrations easier on the pocket.

Hogmanay and New Year in Scotland is immortalised, needs little introduction to most, and there is simply no better way to experience it than to indulge yourselves in one of the great selection of Scottish New Year breaks and hotel deals on the site. Whether you decide to join in one of the great street parties, notable the Edinburgh and Glasgow Hogmanay celebrations, or want to escape to a traditional Scottish highlands Hogmanay retreat – there’s something for everyone.

We have visited all the Scottish hotels and inns we feature on the site and thoroughly recommend them to you. So take the stress out of your Christmas and New Year break planning, sit back, relax and have a good look at the site, learn about some lovely hotels and inns in Scotland well known for their warm welcomes and great service - and plan this year’s Festive break in Scotland on-line.
