Most romantic honeymoon destinations in Scotland from the Highlands to Fife


New research has revealed the most popular honeymoon destinations in Scotland in time for Valentine's Day.

Finding a perfect honeymoon location can be a difficult decision to make, especially with the cost of living crisis making international trips unaffordable for many couples. Fortunately, it is easy to set off on a romantic trip for two closer to home.

To help couples with their search for the perfect romantic getaway in the UK, experts at Fabulous Bingo have researched and ranked 45 of the most popular honeymoon hotspots using Google search trend data.

According to the research, Tobermory in the Isle of Mull and Portree in Isle Of Skye are a joint favourite in Scotland for honeymooners, with approximately 18,100 searches in the UK per month. The two take 20th position overall for the UK.

Tobermory offers beautiful beaches, a picturesque harbour, and plenty of outdoor activities, providing extensive activities for those honeymooning. The Isle of Mull is also home to stunning beaches that are the perfect spot for a romantic walk.
