Scotland is a country with an expansive and interesting coastline which includes sandy beaches to dramatic cliffs and fishing villages. Although the climate in Scotland means that the sunbathing is only an option on very good days in summer time, you may well want to find a cottage in Scotland near a beach for the views, feel and enjoyment of being by the sea whilst taking a self catering holiday in Scotland.
