The Association of Scotland's Self Caterers (ASSC) has launched a well-designed website,
Embrace Scotland, to link travellers with more than 2,500 vacation rental properties. You can search by region, number of people, property type (apartment, lodge, cottage and so on) and star rating (currently assigned by VisitScotland). Check boxes allow you to specify that you're looking for a green, pet-friendly or handicapped-accessible property. There's also a handy search function that lets you track down properties available within the next four weeks.
ASSC members include a wide range of vacation rental owners, from people who occasionally rent out their second home to companies that own large self-catering complexes.
One minor quibble with the site: the main page mentions that you can stay in a castle, but there's no separate castle search category. Please throw a crust to all the aspiring Macbeths and Lady Macbeths out there, ASSC!

Oooh - cool. Will have to check if there's somewhere in Eckford!
Did I tell you that Sean actually found the property at 1 Eckford Street, Eckford, Roxburghshire, Scotland for sale? The listing was online - we really hoped we'd win the lottery so we could buy it.
Wouldn't that have been cool?
