Holiday homes & rentals in Dunbartonshire

Part of Dunbartonshire's appeal is the combination of pretty cottages in rural or village locations, suburban detached properties or self-catering modern apartments. Why not make this the destination for your next Scottish family holiday?

Local produce and independent restaurants – not forgetting the pub grub

As a mainly agricultural area, there is a strong emphasis on local produce in the Dunbartonshire area. Farm shops will sell a variety of locally produced items such as cheese and honey, and many of the area's restaurants pride themselves on using locally reared meat wherever possible.

Towns such as Milngavie and Kirkintilloch have a good range of independent restaurants to suit all preferences and budgets. After a long day sightseeing what could be better than a home cooked meal served by a roaring fire in a country pub? Dunbartonshire has plenty of those to choose from and a warm welcome is guaranteed.

Explore the Dunbartonshire countryside with the kids

Much of Dunbartonshire is in the Glasgow green belt, so there is plenty of unspoiled countryside to explore. One of the best places is Mugdock Country Park outside Milngavie, where visitors can enjoy miles of woodland walks and mountain bike trails.

At weekends and during school holidays there is a regular programme of nature-related activities for children of all ages and their families.

Countryside or city? The choice is yours

Lying between the city of Glasgow and Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, your choice of days out comes down to city or country. Head into Scotland's second city for some of the UK's best shopping, or to visit the famous Kelvingrove Museum, or take in a show at the Hydro.

You could venture in the opposite direction towards Loch Lomond and stroll along the lochside in Balloch castle park. You can also go on a boat trip or enjoy the aquarium featuring native Scottish wildlife.
