The moody, romantic Scottish Highlands start at Loch Lomond just north of Glasgow. Comprising a slew of mountain ranges, this sparsely populated land is best seen by train on the West Highland Line. Mountains, lochs, bright heather and rhododendrons give way to white sand beaches and rugged coves as the train nears Mallaig. For a more active take on the region, hike the West Highland Way or visit the Trossachs National Park. Ben Nevis, a popular climbing spot, looms over the town of Fort William.

This is a fairly gentle walk through a beautiful ancient oak woodland, the path is clearly defined and signposted. One section is via a well maintained boardwalk. Stunning mountain scenery in the background. Will take the average walker about an hour and a half, taking time to enjoy the environment and views.

This is a great area to explore. We managed to the top of one of forest walks with an amazing views of Loch Ness. This walk is a lot of uphill so not for the faint hearted. Well worth it if you are fit enough!

A 1.5 mile walk to An Torr. Start in the car park off the main road. Some sections are up and down steps/slopes which can be a bit slippery. The National Trust are clearing the conifers to revert it back to natural vegetation, so a bit messy in places. Take the Black route for a circular tour. A gory detour takes you to the nearby pub which has toilets.
