Established in 1978, the Association of Scotland’s Self-Caterers (ASSC) boasts over 1700 members, representing the interests of operators of tens of thousands of self-catering properties across the country.

It is a non-profit organisation run by and for owners and operators, working closely with local authorities, the Scottish Government and other industry organisations to ensure the sector’s prominence in the visitor economy.

The ASSC also boasts close links with EmbraceScotland.co.uk, the website that features the best of the country’s self-catering accommodation and holiday cottages, available to book directly with owners.

Every property available on the website is also an ASSC member, meaning that customers can book with confidence, knowing that whichever one they pick is 100 percent quality assured.
