With around one-in-three Scottish households now thought to have a dog, many businesses are coming around to the idea that furry family members need to be catered for.
It used to be relatively unusual for hotels to allow pups, but now an increasing number are emphasising their dog-friendly status.
These are places that are happy to let you have a dog in your room at night and have public areas where your pet can join you for a drink.
Some might even provide doggy bowls, towels and other services for four-legged guests.
Here are 10 of the best according to reviewers on www.booking.com, where they can also be booked.
9. Black Bull Hotel
For a break in the Borders with your dog, the Black Bull Hotel in Lauder has everything you need. Sitting on the main street of the pretty town, it has an elegant restaurant and cosy bar. There are plenty of great walk nearby, with the towns of Peebles and Berwick-upon-Tweed are both just 45 minutes away. Photo: Google Maps
10. Lands of Loyal Hotel
A traditional country house hotel, the Lands of Loyal Hotel stands at the foot of Loyal Hill, overlooking the picturesque town of Alyth in Perthshire - 17 miles from the city of Dundee. The heart of the hotel is the Victorian splendour of the grand hall, while meals are served in a highly-acclaimed restaurant. The hotel is on the Cateran walking trail so you can ditch the car and just go for a walk straight from enjoying your full Scottish breakfast. Photo: www.booking.com
