Scotland East Coast and Resorts Guide Scotland's east coast is one of the richest areas of the UK's coastline, in terms of landscape, habitats and wildlife. Along its length you will find a wealth of stunning coastal views, secluded villages, unspoilt beaches and rich wildlife habitats. As well as two of the UK's most dynamic cities - Edinburgh, to the south and Aberdeen, in the north of the region.
Transportation The east coast of Scotland is well served by the road network - the A9 serves most of the area and is a good through rote to the far north. The A90 spurs off at Perth to take you to Aberdeen and Fraserburgh. Full details of guest houses, hotels and cottages can be found in the resort pages.

The west
coast of Scotland is amazing in terms of its environment and length - with its
twisting, convoluted shape and myriad of islands, there is a great deal of
coastline to consider. It is estimated that 60% of the total UK coastline lies
within Scotland. This represents around 6000 miles of coast, taking into account
all of the off-shore islands - the total length of the UK's coast is estimated
to be around 11,300
miles. So a rough estimate would suggest that around 50% of Scotland's
coast lies within the
western sector and 50% in the eastern sector - which would work out at around
3000 miles of coast in each sector. See map below. To
look for Scotland east coast hotels, guest houses and cottages - see the resort
pages.
