SCOTLAND is slowly making its way out of lockdown.
Our tourism industry officially opened its door again on Wednesday, with the First Minister encouraging people desperate for a holiday to 'explore more of Scotland' rather than taking trips abroad.
With that in mind, we thought we'd gather together some of AirBnB's most bizarre and beautiful listings in Scotland, to help inspire you ahead of your trip.
From living in a futuristic 'airship', to taking up home in a hobbit-hole or even a lifeboat - here are seven of the weird and wonderful AirBnB offerings in Scotland:
AirShip002 - Drimnin, Highlands
Described as an "iconic, insulated alumium pod', the AirShip002 is a one bedroom, one bathroom pod for a maximum of two adults.
Situated in Drimnin in the Highlands, the listing has views of the isle of Mull from its "dragonfly windows".
The "comfortable, quirky and cool" site is a perfect getaway - with full details on the AirBnB website here.
