A. Glad to see that romance isn't dead in your household Dan! There are lots of online resources at your fingertips that will help you find an ideal romantic location. Many sites now specialise in providing romantic breaks in plush hotels, unique cottages or even old castles - it depends on where you'd like to stay and how much you're willing to splash out.

�

Some of the best sites you can check out include the following:

�

Romantic Hotels in Scotland: offer a fine selection of hotels especially chosen for their romantic location and ambience. All rooms in all the hotels included on this site have four-poster beds and all offer romantic packages for honeymoons, birthdays, anniversaries etc. You can choose city hotels - in Edinburgh for example or remote country houses near Loch Rannoch in the highlands for example - it has a wide range of accommodation available to suit all tastes.

An example of one of the hotels recommended for a romantic break is the Ballchulish Hotel in Fort William (Tel. 01885 811 606). Prices start at �33 per person (�99 per person for a 3 night weekend break) and for this you get brilliant views of Glencoe (lots of mountains and lochs if you have never been there), lots of log fires, great food and luxurious bedrooms.
