November holiday in Scotland – what to do and where to do it?

The evenings are darker, the days are chillier, and the clocks have gone back, winter is here! Scotland truly becomes its own winter wonderland at this time of year, so pack your hats and gloves and set off on your November holiday in Scotland. There are so many places to visit, local events and activities to try on your stay.

November is officially here and that means one thing… whisper it quietly… Christmas is coming! Here at Rosneath Castle, we love Christmas and there are plenty of festive events taking place on your winter holiday in Scotland.

If Christmas events aren’t up your street, there are so many other ways to enjoy your November getaway at Rosneath Castle…

Local attractions

If you find yourself on a grey day, just because the sun is hiding doesn’t mean the fun has to stop on your November holiday in Scotland. There are plenty of indoor local attractions to explore close to our holiday park in Scotland. Take a trip to the Submarine centre in Helensburgh, Scotland’s only submarine museum, and walk through the history of submarines and the lives of Submariners.

Warm up with a whiskey

Glengoyne Distillery is open all year for guided tours, whiskey tasking, special events and a superb whiskey shop. Escape the chilly weather, a warm welcome awaits at the home of Scotland slowest stills. Journey into the complexity of Scotland’s national drink and even take home a bottle for yourself – perhaps the 21 year old, christmas cake with a cinnamon finish to get you in the spirit!

Hit the Walking Trails

Even when the weather isn’t ideal, there is never a bad day to explore Scotland’s breath-taking landscape. The area surrounding Rosneath Castle Park is crammed full of extraordinary walks, just waiting to be discovered. So put on an extra layer and put your best foot forward – you won’t regret it.

Grab a hearty meal

We all know how important it is to fill up with good food after a day of exploration. Our on-site Castle Isle Bar & Restaurant is hugely popular among our guests and owners, serving a range of tasty dishes and drinks. With winter classics like steak and ale pie and sausage and mash on the menu, how could you refuse!
