Staycations to try

1. HOTEL BREAKS – are you fed up with doing the washing, the dishes, the cooking, the hoovering and all the other day-to-day chores? Well then a hotel break could be just what you need! You can focus on relaxing and exploring and let other people take over the vacuuming for a few days.

2. SPA BREAKS – an extension of the hotel breaks, spa breaks are the ultimate in pampering and luxury. So if you have been stressed out working at home, helping the kids with school and running the house, a spa break can ease those knots in your back and shoulders as well as giving you some well-deserved time off.

3. SELF-CATERING GETAWAYS – maybe you don’t need to relax, but you would like a change of scenery and the chance to explore somewhere new. Or maybe you have a doggy member of the family you want to bring with you. A self -catering break is ideal for those who want a more flexible schedule and a way to keep their own routine. From caravans and campers all the way up to luxury lodges, there’s plenty of selfcatering choices around the country for you to try.

4. ADVENTURE AND ACTIVITY BREAKS – life has been a bit “samey” for the past year, so if you are the daredevil sort who likes to try exciting activities, you can book a break that can take you soaring into the air, onto the water and to dizzying heights. Or for those who are a bit more sedate, a return to the golf course might be the order of the day.

5. ON THE MOVE BREAKS – don’t fancy staying in one place on your holiday or can’t decide on where to go? There are plenty of businesses who hire out campervans and touring caravans so you can take to the roads and see as much as possible on one trip.

SO THROW AWAY THAT PASSPORT – LIVING IN SCOTLAND, YOU WON’T NEED IT TO HAVE A FANTASTIC HOLIDAY THAT YOU’LL REMEMBER FOR YEARS TO COME! • Please keep up to date with Scottish Government guidelines surrounding Covid-19 and travel and stay within the rules.
