New from Bradt is Dog-Friendly Weekends: Scotland, written by canine-travel expert Lottie Gross (author of Bradt’s best-selling Dog-Friendly Weekends), who proposes 30 excursions and holiday ideas for dog lovers in this beguiling country – from city breaks to outdoorsy days, and characterful campsites to pubs welcoming furry friends. Each suggestion showcases the finest dog-welcoming places to eat, sleep and be entertained.

Scotland is a veritable playground for dogs and their owners, offering exceptional walking in mountains, along lochs and through dramatic glens. Even so, Bradt’s Dog-Friendly Weekends: Scotland goes way beyond walking: it suggests scores of exciting attractions to keep visitors with dogs entertained, from castles and beaches to rainy-day activities such as museums and steam trains (even including those where dogs get their own tickets!).

From island-hopping escapes in far-flung archipelagos to sweeping beaches perforating craggy coastlines, Scottish scenery is enough of a draw on its own. But the capital, Edinburgh, also has adventures aplenty for those travelling with dogs, thanks to a smattering of unusual destinations that welcome those on four legs as well as two, plus its own extinct volcano to climb for those bent on stretching their legs.

Each weekend idea is furnished with accommodation suggestions, from the dog-friendliest campsites to charming hotels. To write this book, the author travelled thousands of miles and stayed in hundreds of accommodation offerings to personally test each one for its dog-friendliness. Destinations featured read like a roll-call of Scotland’s finest locations: from the Isle of Skye to Orkney, Loch Ness to Loch Lomond, Glasgow to Aberdeen, and Ben Nevis to the Cairngorms.

Despite its manifest riches, Scotland is not always the easiest country to explore – it has remote areas that can be tricky to reach but rewarding once there – and there considerations aplenty for dog owners around safety, wildlife and impact on the environment, especially in light of the Scottish Outdoor Access Code. Bradt’s Dog-friendly Scotland helps visitors and locals alike navigate the sensitivities, providing inspirational insights alongside advice on how to have a stress-free and safe holiday with your dog in this beguiling country.
