The Scottish Highlands region
From the lush green farmlands of the Borders to the rugged landscapes of the Highlands, the Scots are proud of their land and identity. The beautiful countryside of Dumfries and Galloway is littered with fortresses and strongholds, testimony to its dramatic history. Moving north, the Highlands are to Scotland what the Pyrenees are to France, with equally breathtaking scenery and fantastic opportunities for walking and mountaineering. Aviemore and the Cairngorms National Park are particularly famous for skiing, whilst Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in Britain at 1343m, is a firm favourite for those seeking a challenge.
For the less energetic, the Whisky Trail provides a unique way of exploring many of Scotland’s attractions and for quieter moments, there’s always Loch Ness and a chance to spot the elusive monster! Scotland also has some of Britain’s best and cleanest beaches. Cromarty is famous for its bottle-nosed dolphins and Nairn, whilst claiming to be one of the sunniest and driest places in the country, has glorious stretches of clean sand over which to roam. Several islands lie off the Scottish coast, each with their own character and heritage, however the Isle of Skye is probably the best known and most visited. As the largest of the Inner Hebrides, Skye’s turbulent geological past has bequeathed it a stunning coastline.
Experienced walkers are drawn to the Black Cuillin Mountains, whilst those less experienced have an array of lower level coastal walks from which to choose or alternatively, visitors can take some time to visit Skye’s capital, the charming harbour town of Portree.
The Achnasheen / Laide area
Situated on the picturesque shores of Loch Ewe, the village of Aultbea is a great location from which to explore the North-West Highlands. Rich in tourist attractions, the area boasts the National Trust's renowned Inverewe Gardens – full of exotic plants and only five miles away – as well as the beautiful Gruinard Bay with its unusual red-sand beaches and mountainous backdrop. Udrigle beach and the beautiful sands of Mellon Udrigle are also very close by, giving visitors plenty of choice when deciding on a spot to go sunbathing. And with seals and otters present amongst the wide variety of local wildlife, this is a great place for long country walks. The village itself is well-served by a local shop and two hotels and makes a great base for a walking holiday.
