Belmont
Located in the valley of Strathmore, Perthshire, Belmont Centre is situated in an estate of 100 acres of outstanding beauty.
Broomlee
Located 14 miles south of Edinburgh, Broomlee Centre still retains a truly rural atmosphere.

Loaningdale
Loaningdale is the smallest of SOEC's Centres and this lends it an intimate, welcoming atmosphere. As accommodation is uniquely self-contained, groups often have exclusive use of the Centre.

Set in the heart of the Lomond and Trossachs National Park, Dounans is SOEC's busiest and largest Centre.
Glengonnar
Glengonnar Centre, based at Abington in South Lanarkshire, is one of SOEC's oldest Centres, purchased in 1940. Located on the banks of the Clyde, Glengonnar has hosted school groups for over 45 years.
