Southern Scotland

Southern Scotland is a large area, stretching from the English border up through the largely rural regions of Ayrshire, Dumfries & Galloway and the Borders to the cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh on its northern fringes. It's a gentle region by Scottish standards, beautiful in a low-key way and rich in history, and although inevitably dominated by the country's two principal cities, it has some superb places to stay – some fabulous and very distinctive hotels and B&Bs, beautifully located glamping sites and a range of self-catering properties that takes in everything from medieval castles to a vintage gypsy caravans.
