Scottish Youth Hostels
Description edit
The principal objective of the Association is: 'To help all, but especially young people, to experience and appreciate the Scottish countryside and places of historic and cultural interest in Scotland, and to promote their health, recreation and education, particularly by providing low cost accommodation for them on their travels.'
As a not-for-profit body with charitable status, the SYHA works for the benefit of all to promote recreation within Scotland, to increase international appreciation of our country and to improve understanding of hostelling in general. To this end we are committed to offering visitors from home and abroad affordable, quality accommodation in our network of Hostels throughout the country. From cities to remote locations, crofters' cottages to castles, we offer a variety of accommodation to suit all tastes, but all with the same friendly welcome.
SYHA is a self-governing voluntary organisation, established in 1931, with over 30,000 current members across all age groups and an active committee structure. As a not-for-profit business, any surplus is invested back into the organisation, enabling us to develop the network and to ensure high standards in existing properties. Our network of over 70 Scottish Hostels includes purpose-built premises, historic buildings and country cottages - in towns and cities, and in remote, rural and island locations.
