Overview

One of the last true places in Europe where you can find true wilderness, the Scottish Highlands are a last bastion of solitude among towering peaks, quiet pine forests, deep lochs and windswept fells.

The landscape has an almost ghostly feel, the whispers of old clan battles on deserted misty beaches, crumbling castles stand defiantly over mountain passes, and legends crisscross the land like spiders’ webs. If there was ever a landscape that pulled you towards an adventure holiday in Scotland – this is it.

Now, there’s still a fascinating and wonderfully traditional culture to be found, and there’s nothing more rewarding than finishing a day of exploration with a locally brewed beer and a scotch egg in the nearest pub, recounting the stories of old that leave lasting impressions on your time here.
