But there are other options, with Scotland’s hospitality industry keen to welcome you to hotels, B&Bs and self catering accomodation over the holidays.
Demand is high, but it’s not too late to book a winter escape.

9. Daviot Guest House
Offering the chance to stoll down to the Ayr seafront on New Year's Day, the four-star Daviot Guest House is a small, family-run Victorian B&B where a warm welcome - and great full Scottish breakfast - is assured. It's also just 650 yard from Ayr town centre house and will set you back just £275 for three nights over Hogmanay. Photo: www.booking.com
10. Hazel Shepherds Hut
The cosy woodland offgrid Shepherds Hut Hazel is set in a secluded spot in Castle Douglas, near Galloway Forest Park - the UK's first Dark Sky Park. A woodburner will keep things toasty inside, while outside there are plenty of great walks during the day and opportunities to stargaze at night. A three night stay over Hogmanay will cost you £290.
