Your UK and Europe travel discoveries of 2019: readers tips

From a grand-but-affordable Scottish castle to beauty spots in the Azores, our tipsters share their travel highlights

When a friend suggested a weekend trip to Scotland as opposed to Rome or Bruges, I was sceptical. But as we journeyed through the country I was taken aback by the vast and ethereal landscapes. And at 19th-century Stonefield Castle, with sweeping turrets and elegant well-tended gardens, near the lovely fishing village of Tarbert, my Scottish love affair began. Delicious seafood from the neighbouring Loch Fyne and glasses of malbec consumed over scrabble in the library made the weekend even more magical.
