HEAD north to Scotland and take advantage of some of the best family holiday deals around.

Why? Because Scottish school children are back at their desks on August 21 so you can book an English summer holiday break at Scottish back-at-school prices.

Haven Holidays are offering seven nights at Craig Tara on the Ayrshire coast from £449 for a family of four arriving on August 16.

And that includes some of the best entertainment and leisure facilities in Scotland as well as a glorious location with stunning views to the Isle of Arran.

New for this year at Craig Tara is Water Walkerz...a chance to put your children into giant inflatable balls and let them loose in the swimming pool.

And there are outdoor play zones, multi-sports courts, go-karts, indoor crazy golf and a professionally designed golf course with seaviews.

The price includes a full programme of entertainment, kid’s clubs and loads of family sports and activities including a summertime panto with 3D Bogglevision techno-special effects, the Incredible Hulk on stage and a chance to take part in the Haven’s Got Talent show. And if you don’t want to cook you can book ‘Diner’s Choice’ at Craig Tara - £12 per person per night extra will buy you an ‘eat all you like’ buffet breakfast and a choice of three course dinner menus in the evening. Under 12’s can eat at half price.

If you can drag the kids away from the park you’ll find Scotland on your doorstep.

Scottish icon Robbie Burns lived just up the road, there’s a lovely drive along the coast to Culzean Castle or take a ferry across to the Isle of Arran said to be ‘Scotland in Miniature’!.
