Dog-friendly cottages in Scotland

Unforgettable escapes in the land of lochs and glens

Planning a holiday to Scotland with your dog? From wild Highlands to sandy island beaches, this stunning country is packed with places where paws are welcome and adventures come with a tail-wagging and jaw-dropping view.

Whether you're climbing mountains, exploring ancient castles, or curling up in a cosy cottage after a long walk, our dog-friendly cottages in Scotland make it easy to plan a break that both you and your pup will love.

Why choose a dog-friendly holiday in Scotland?

Scotland is made for outdoor lovers – and their dogs. It’s home to some of the UK’s most breathtaking scenery, including towering peaks, rolling glens and thousands of miles of walking trails. From the North Coast 500 to the shores of Loch Ness, every region offers new scents, sights and discoveries for your four-legged friend.

There’s a strong dog-loving culture here too, with pubs, cafés, ferries and even castles regularly rolling out the red carpet (or water bowl) for canine guests.

Best dog-friendly walks in Scotland

Looking for inspiration for your next big walkies? Scotland has something for every kind of dog and walker.

  • Loch an Eilein, Cairngorms – an easy lakeside trail through ancient forest, with a picturesque ruined castle in the water.
  • Ben A’an, Trossachs – a short but steep hike with epic views over Loch Katrine. Great for energetic pups.
  • Glen Nevis, Fort William – walk the lower valley trails or take on parts of the Ben Nevis ascent for a challenge.
  • Fife Coastal Path – this 117-mile route includes lots of dog-friendly stretches through pretty villages, cliffs and harbours.
  • Sandwood Bay, Sutherland – a remote but rewarding coastal walk to one of Scotland’s most beautiful (and often empty) beaches.

Best dog-friendly beaches in Scotland

Scotland’s coastline is just as dog-friendly as its hills and lochs – often with fewer crowds and more space to roam.

  • Luskentyre Beach, Isle of Harris – turquoise waters and soft white sand make this one of the most scenic spots in the UK. Dogs are welcome all year.
  • Camusdarach Beach, Arisaig – crystal-clear waters, views of the Isles, and plenty of room to run. No restrictions for dogs.
  • Yellowcraig Beach, East Lothian – great facilities, gentle sand dunes, and year-round dog access.
  • Seacliff Beach, East Lothian – a quiet alternative to more popular beaches, with a castle backdrop and rock pools to explore.
  • St Andrews West Sands – made famous by Chariots of Fire, this vast stretch is perfect for off-lead runs. There are restrictions between May and September, though.

Dog-friendly activities and attractions

Between all the walking, there’s plenty more to enjoy with your pup in Scotland.

🏰 Doune Castle – dogs on leads are welcome in the grounds of this Outlander-famous fortress.

🌲 The Hermitage, Dunkeld – a magical forest walk with waterfalls and wildlife, perfect for peaceful strolls.

🚂 Strathspey Steam Railway – well-behaved dogs can hop aboard this nostalgic train through the Cairngorms.

🛳 CalMac Ferries – planning a trip to the islands? Most Caledonian MacBrayne ferries allow dogs in designated areas.
