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.

Header Slides
Today's header slides are of the striking V&A Dundee, seen through mist; and a view of the very atmospheric Strathnaver in the far north of Sutherland: a very quiet and lonely place today, though it was anything but before the clearances.

Dun Troddan
stands a little up the northern slope of the side of Gleann Beag,

coast south of Glenelg. It is the second of the "Glenelg
Brochs", twinned with Dun Telve, a third of a mile to
its west. Dun Troddan is fine example

north and west of Scotland. Brochs were built in the last centuries
BC and the first centuries AD. ( More
