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.

Famous in being most westerly but the spot of the lighthouse and cafe are brilliant with amazing views across the islands. The cafe didn't really so lunch (no soup etc) which was a shame but we survivied on crisps and cake! Well worth the drive out there to see even though the vistor centre was shut. - there is an amazing fog horn!

Stoer Lighthouse is a fully furnished Self Catering Lighthouse located on Stoer Head, north of Lochinver in Sutherland, North West Scotland. The Lighthouse itself dates from the 1870's, has been recently refurbished to a high standard, and is now comprised of two flats each with 2 twin bedrooms, well appointed kitchen, bathroom and lounge.
It was quiet when we came and that was a blessing in it's self such an amazing place and panorama wow. Watch the decptive cliff edges and it will send the odd person wobbliekneed . But wonderfull definitley looking at renting one of the lighthouse flats wow

The most northerly point in the UK, the Orkney Islands are within touching distance. Some fantastic views to be got here including The Old Man of Hoy sticking up from behind the smaller cliffs at the South Westerly point of Hoy.

Strathy point lighthouse absolutely is one of the best wild camping spots in the north of Scotland. We pitched up our tents whilst doing the North Coast 500 route in August, and were taken aback by some of the views you get from here. There is also plenty of space for camper vans and the like on the road, if you don't fancy using a campsite. Not only are the views great, the woman who lives in the lighthouse was EXTREMELY welcoming, and greeted us at our tents at around 11:30pm in heavy rain to make sure we had everything we needed. LOVELY woman. If you're looking for a place to wild camp, look no further than Strathy Point Lighthouse. I highly recommend it as a stopping point if you're wild camping, and have told all my friends who were planning on doing the route to stop here to pitch up their tents.
