Scotland for Families

Primary

Even when the kids are a little older and just that little bit more demanding, there are plenty of treats in store.

Venture in to the Highlands where Harry Potter fans will feel right at home. The Glenfinnan Viaduct is recognisable as being from the second Harry Potter movie 'The Chamber of Secrets', while the dramatic mountain scenery of Glen Coe and Glen Nevis have also featured, perhps you would recognise it from a certain quidditch match in 'The Philosopher's Stone'.

If the kids are fascinated by history, Scotland has more than enough to satisfy their curiosity.  Why not take them to see some of the famous battlefields or castles.

If you are in the car why not explore at your own pace - try one of our itinerary suggestions with themes routes around Scotland, there's plenty to see and do with everything from Castles, Coves and Kittiwakes, to Magical Isles and Peninsulas, or if your fancy it Heroes and Villains!

Whilst in the city, the Royal Yacht Britannia has gone all out to attract families with an audio handset tour of the ship aimed specifically at children.  For good value, you can't beat the National Museum of Scotland, where you could spend the whole day!

On days when you want to make the most of the countryside, whether you want to take to the water or take to the hills, there's plenty to keep you interested. On days when you've had enough of the great outdoors explore the wealth of attractions that's on hand from historic buildings to museums, from wildlife watching centres like Deep Sea World in North Queensferry - Scotland's Shark Capital - to modern inventions like the Falkirk Wheel, there's always something that will keep boredom at bay.
