Flights to Scotland

Scotland's breathtaking Highland scenery, lively cities and plethora of historic castles and ruins have long made it a popular destination for visitors.

Fly to Scotland at any time of the year for a warm welcome and some of the finest landscapes in the British isles...

The three major airports for Scotland flights are Edinburgh (EDI), Glasgow International (GLA) and Glasgow Prestwick (PIK). Flights to Scotland and the beautiful Scottish Isles also arrive at Inverness Airport (INV), serving the city known as the Gateway to the Highlands. From here you can fly to the small airports at Sumbugh on the Shetland Isles, Kirkwall on Orkney and the Hebridean islands of Stornoway, Islay, Benbecula, Barra and Tiree. The Scottish Islands have a beauty all their own and it's wonderful to be able to island hop and experience some of the Scottish hospitality for which they are famous.

If you enjoy golf, you can follow in the steps of the professionals and play a challenging round at any one of the famous links courses in Scotland. Dundee (DND) is the closest airport to St Andrews, the “Home of Golf”, and the course at Carnoustie is just along the coast.

If you want to explore the Cairngorm Mountains further north, the best airport to fly to is Aberdeen (ABZ). The scenery here is wild and undulating, with ample opportunities for hang-gliding and trekking. It's not far from the famous Whisky Trail, either, so you could perhaps pay a visit to a distillery or two.

The west coast of Scotland and the Mull of Kintyre can be easily reached from Cambeltown Airport (CAL). You can fly from here to Belfast in Northern Ireland and there are internal flights to Glasgow, Colonsay and Islay.
