Scotland has become an increasingly popular destination for outdoor activity holidays. Its stunning natural beauty along with its incredibly diverse landscape makes it ideal for outdoor sports.

There are some excellent golf courses here (some of the best in the world), thousands of walking routes through some of the most picturesque landscapes in the UK, top class ski resorts and plenty of cycling opportunities. These are just a few of the options.

The 153km West Highland Way takes walkers through some amazing Highland scenery. It goes all the way from Glasgow to Fort William. This is a handy route, particularly if you are planning on climbing Ben Nevis (Britain's highest peak).

There are some excellent cycling routes on the Highlands and islands of the northwest. The countryside here is beautiful; wild remote and untouched. You could also try the Hebridean Islands, or the lochs and glens of central and southern Scotland, which are perfect for those who want to take things at a slower, more relaxed pace.

The best places to go skiing in Scotland are in Aviemore, Glencoe, Nevis, Glenshee, The Lecht, and Nevis Range.

Millions of visitors travel to Scotland each year to play golf. We have more golf courses per capita than in any other country in the world!
