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 Lairg area
The Loch is fed by the River Shin, renowned for its beauty and the abundance of salmon and trout that it plays host to. A walk along the Shin will take you to the famous Falls and, at certain times of year, you can see salmon leaping to their original spawning grounds. The Falls of Shin are also served by restaurants and shops. To the west you will find Loch Assynt, where you will find the ancient ruins of Ardvreck Castle. In the distance, surrounding Lairg, you can take in the breathtaking panorama that is made up of blue mountains and rolling forests. The area is famed for its wildlife and animals such as red deer can be seen throughout the year. For the more energetically-minded, there are golf-courses and many walking and mountaineering trails.

Guestbook for 1172 - Ash
The location was great, it was central to the Highlands and the nearby village was nice. We were so happy with the property that we will be returning again and again. Thank you to the owner and the caretaker for a great 25th wedding anniversary.
