Welcome
Hello, and welcome to Undiscovered Scotland, the ultimate online guide to Scotland. The site is a combination of visitor guide, accommodation listing and business directory, and aims to show you what the country is really like. We also offer website design, maintenance and hosting services.

In Focus
Easdale is unique.
No cars, no roads and no street lamps. Imagine somewhere with no sound except the sea crashing on
the shores of the island, the wind rustling the grass, and the singing of the birds. And neighbours
in the rows of small white cottages chatting as they meet. Where else is the wheelbarrow the
official mode of transport, with examples lined up on the grass by the slipway for the small ferry,

Featured Book
Eyes Turned Skywards by Ken Lussey (12 August 2024).
Wing Commander Robert Sutherland has left his days as a pre-war detective far behind him. Or so he thinks. On 25 August 1942 the Duke of Kent, brother
of King George VI, is killed in northern Scotland in an unexplained air crash; a second crash soon after suggests a shared, possibly sinister, cause.
Bob Sutherland is tasked with visiting the aircraft's base in Oban and the first crash site in Caithness to gather clues as to who might have had reason
to sabotage one, or both, of the aircraft.
