Before casting your line out to organise a fantastic Scottish fishing holiday, it's advised to give some consideration as to your accommodation. Getting to the United Kingdom is now all the easier due to the widespread development of cheap flight networks, however to get the best deal you might want to investigate your airport options and even extend your holiday to include some of the highlights of the British Isles.

Edinburgh

What's that in the air – a bird, a plane? No, it's just the culture-vultures circling, for Edinburgh's in the big league when it comes to offering action-packed cultural happenings. The Scottish capital shines every summer with its collection of international festivals, and you're bound to be impressed by the offerings from the Fringe Festival, the International Festival, the Comedy Festival, the Military Tattoo, and the International Book Festival.

The only consideration for booking Edinburgh hotels is whether or not you're trying to make a reservation in peak festival time. Welcoming, comfortable, and quality hotel rooms are easily available in Edinburgh for most of the year, though come August, they can be rarer than hen's teeth, especially if you're looking for something a little closer to the luxury side of the market.

Inverness

What's a visit to Scotland without a visit to the famed Loch Ness? Inverness, the capital of the Highlands, is only 6 miles (9.5km) from the loch. Even though the main draw card, the legendary monster from the deep, might not make an appearance, it's still worth it for the unbeatable "Munro bagging" opportunities in the Scottish Highlands, and also the chance to hike the Great Glen Way. Camping, caravans, cosy bed & breakfasts – you can take your pick for accommodation throughout the Highlands region.

London

An international must-see, London is considered by many to be the heart of England – although if this is the case, it's certainly pulsing at double time! A cultural, historical, financial, and artistic world centre, London will captivate you from the very first encounter. No matter your age or interests, a trip to London offers something for all.

Just a word of advice, after a tranquil week of fishing in Scotland, a stay in London might be a bit of a shock to the system, especially if you're staying in Central London close to hotspots in the West End or Covent Garden. Don't fret, it's not going to be anything like checking into a Tokyo, Hong Kong or Las Vegas hotel after spending three weeks in the Sahara, but it will certainly be a change! Get ready to embrace the hustle and bustle of London, and prepare to sample the best that the capital has to offer!

From London it's also possible to organise day trips or mini-break excursions to surrounding areas of interest such as Windsor Castle, Eton College, Canterbury, Brighton, Stonehenge, Oxford, Cambridge, or Stratford-Upon-Avon. For more information, get in touch with the reception team at a range of London hotels, locally-based London tour agencies, or online tour service providers. With a trusty guidebook, it's also easy to take charge of your holiday and do-it-yourself!
