The Scottish contenders are:
- Dumfries & Galloway for Holiday Destination of the Year

Fergus Collins, the magazine’s editor, commented: ‘With increasing pressures on the countryside and wider natural environment, it’s even more vital to shout about what makes rural Britain so special. Our annual awards help champion our landscapes, our wildlife, and our country heroes. This year’s nominees represent the best of rural Britain and are exceptional examples of what the UK’s countryside has to offer.’
