Grab the suncream, pack the ice cooler and load up the car boot - the Easter holidays are just around the corner.
Plenty Glaswegians will be on the look out for a last minute getaway. But with flight cancellations and covid testing still required to enter some of our favourite destinations, looking closer to home for a relaxing break might seem more appealing.
If you’re having trouble with inspiration, Airbnb have done the legwork to reveal the UK’s top trending staycation destinations for the spring season.
The beautiful Balloch was named as one the top 10 trending UK destinations by the accomodation app - and we can see why.
Less than an hour from Glasgow and right by the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond, Balloch was one of only two Scottish locations that made the in-demand “staycation” wishlist - along with Dunbar in East Lothian.
Amanda Cupples, general manager for Northern Europe at Airbnb said: “The nation is set to enjoy the first Easter weekend without Covid restrictions in two years, and it’s great to see Brits are exploring up-and-coming areas of the UK to make the most of it. The top trending destination list provides ample inspiration for those looking to get away and explore a new place over the long weekend.

”Properties in the region that use Airbnb to host visitors include a five-star rated riverside apartment that sleeps four guests at £180 per night and a cottage for six people equipped with a log burner and hot tub in Luss at a whopping £424.
The full list was based on people searching for domestic travel and checking in between April 8 and April 24.
