Stargazing the Scottish Way
Moonlight meets mountains and the stars still speak
👉 Read more about Glencoe
This week, Glencoe offers a celestial treat—Scotland’s iconic glen will host the lowest full moon until 2043. Known as the “Strawberry Moon,” this glowing orb sits low on the horizon, casting an otherworldly light across the rugged peaks. With Glencoe’s official status as a Dark Sky Discovery Site, the dramatic mountain landscape becomes the perfect backdrop for stargazing and moonlit magic.
Over 60% of travellers now seek “dark sky” holidays—and few places deliver quite like Glencoe. The stillness, the clarity, and the drama of the Highlands under moonlight are something you have to feel for yourself.

Gazing into the Northern Lights
How and when to witness Scotland’s most magical night-time display
👉 Read the full story
Some say the Northern Lights are just science—but if you’ve seen them over Scotland’s wild skies, you’ll know it feels like something more. When the aurora dances across the Highlands, it’s like watching the sky come alive with ribbons of green, violet, and pink. And yes—it happens here, not just in Iceland or Norway.
The best time to catch this celestial show is from autumn through to early spring, when long, dark nights and low light pollution offer the perfect conditions. The cold helps too—clear, crisp air makes the sky even sharper. If you’re a night owl, staying up late or waking early might just reward you with the sight of a lifetime.

The Day We All Became Scots
There’s a moment when Scotland stops being just a place on the map—and begins to feel like part of your story. For some, it’s their first ceilidh, awkward steps transforming into joyous rhythm as the band picks up speed and strangers become partners. Others feel it when the first note of Auld Lang Syne rings out on Hogmanay, hands joined in a circle of old friends and new. It might come with the thunder of a pipe band, the stillness on top of Edinburgh Castle, or the silent mystery of Loch Ness under morning mist. It could be a single dram shared with locals in a weathered pub, or standing before a statue of Robert Burns and finally understanding every line.
