As the year 2022 progresses, one thing remains constant: the importance of connection. Scotland is the ideal place to make soul-nourishing connections for anyone looking to practice self-care, explorers looking to meet like-minded people, and all couples looking for a cozy getaway.

Say yes to solo adventures.

Everyone can benefit from a solo retreat in Scotland, whether it's escaping to the great outdoors, practicing mindfulness, or indulging in a luxurious spa.

Throwing yourself into the unknown and unleashing your senses are synonymous with white sandy beaches and sheep-filled mountains.

A guided tour, such as Mary Meanders (great for female travelers) or Haggis Adventures (great for the younger set), is an easy way to explore Scotland alone, although chatty guides and small groups make for lifelong friendships. Travelers can take public transportation to get to remote locations and truly experience Scotland's wild side.

The sounds and sights of Hermaness National Nature Reserve in Lerwick are a real treat for the senses, and it's only a short flight away.

Or, why not see Scotland from a different, more mindful angle? Those looking for peace and quiet can bathe in the forest among ancient Caledonian pines with Highland Quiet Life, practice yoga and meditation at We Love Retreat in Abernethy, dive - head and heart first - into the cold sea with Immerse Hebrides, or kayak on a tranquil loch.
