If you like adventure then Scottish Riding Holidays are your best route to horse riding in Scotland.
Explore the hills of wild Argyll, gallop on deserted beaches, trail ride through the stunning landscapes of the Grampian mountains, enjoy lochside rides and trek along miles and miles of virtually deserted beaches.
Is your dream, galloping across a deserted beach, with the Atlantic rolling in beside you?
Maybe you prefer the hush of mature forests where all you hear is the sound of your horses hooves and your own thoughts. Or what about wide open moorland with views to take your breath away and skylarks for company?
Scotland has some of the most beautiful scenery in the world and Scottish riding holidays are an experience not to be missed.
