Nothing screams “romantic getaway” like a cosy cabin in the Scottish wilderness.
Scotland is the pinnacle of countryside scenery, including mist-covered hilltops, cloud-tickling mountains, glistening lochs (give or take a famous monster or two!), lush forests, and of course, the magic of the Highlands and the Hebrides.
For those wanting to dig their heels into the beautiful soil of rural Scotland, the good news is, there’s no shortage of romantic log cabins in Scotland to rest your head with that special someone.
