Our tourism industry officially reopened on Wednesday, with the Prime Minister encouraging people desperate for a holiday to ‘explore Scotland more’ rather than take trips abroad.
With that in mind, we thought we’d round up some of the weirdest and loveliest AirBnB listings in Scotland, to inspire you ahead of your trip.
From life in a futuristic ‘airship’ to home in a hobbit hole or even a lifeboat – here are seven of AirBnB’s weird and wonderful offerings in Scotland:

Described as an “iconic, insulated aluminum pod,” the AirShip002 is a one-bedroom, one-bathroom pod for up to two adults.
