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.

The turn for Duncansby Head is just a few hundred metres up the road from John O'Groats in the direction of Wick. After a couple of miles you arrive at a car park (free)near a lighthouse. A short 10-15 minute walk across fields will bring you to the most amazing view of Duncansby stacks. Well worth a visit just for the stacks however we also got to see seals and some great nesting birds on the cliffs.

Heading to Glenelg we decided to take a diversion along a side road off the single track road. This led along Loch Duich to Ratagan and Letterfearn. The views of the hills and loch were out of this world. Well worth the single track road, which made for quite a challenging drive with hardly any other traffic..

What a lovely walk through a woodland trail from the Glenmore visitor centre along the Revoan Pass the the Green Loch. We met some local people who told us that the water colour is because the fairies wash their socks in the water in the evening. Magical place.

Fantastic view on a beautiful day, we were so lucky. There is also a small stone beach that you can go on to and dip your feet in the loch which was lovely and helped calm the sting of midgie bites! Lol

Promoting the north of Scotland. We have a wealth of knowledge about the walking, wildlife and general information about the North. Dunnet Head is the focal point of the North Highland Way.
Dunnet head is a lovely place to visit a lighthouse with stunning views near Mary Ann cottage if you're lucky you can spot whales doling puffins etc

When driving around Loch Ness you will come across this view point. If the weather is good it is amazing. Worth pulling over & going for a walk along the the trail.
