Overview
Introduction
Covering most of the northern half of Scotland, The Highlands provide some of the most spectacular scenery in all the British Isles.
The desolate and untamed splendor of moors, mountains and sea-lochs is interrupted only by crofting communities nestled in the bottoms of the fertile straths and glens and a string of fishing villages dotted along the coast.
Natural attractions range from the blanket bog of the Flow Country (a vast peatland full of rare wildlife) to the popular beaches and massive seaside cliffs of Sutherland in the north to the rugged beauty of Argyll in the south. It's a region where every road is scenic.
