Half-term caravan holidays: Husky sledding in Scotland

Sledding with huskies is just one of the activities you do in Scotland this half term

by Gemma Roskell

Caravanners planning breaks in Scotland during the half term holidays will find plenty of activities to keep everyone in the family entertained.

VisitScotland has compiled a list of events that holidaymakers can enjoy this spring and it includes highlights such as snowdrop spotting and husky sledding.

The tourism body is also offering discounts on entry into some of Scotland’s top attractions, from the Museum of Flight to the Deeside Activity Park.

From now until March 15th, the Scottish Snowdrop Festival will be taking place, with 54 gardens opening up to the public to show off their blooms.

Active families can visit the Cairngorm Sleddog Centre, which is home to 30 huskies and offers regular daytime and evening experiences in the remote Highland forests.

VisitScotland also pointed out that the half term holiday is a perfect time to spot animals such as red deer and gannets.

There are numerous options for caravanners taking their tourers north of the border, so pitching up close to Scotland’s attractions should never be a problem.
