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 Portknockie area
This cliff top village is in a stunning location and overlooks a natural harbour on the Moray Firth coast. From here rugged cliffs can be explored along with coves and beaches, and discover the local landmark of Bow Fiddle rock. The area is a magnet for birdwatchers, with colonies of seabirds making the cliffs their home and providing a magnificent spectacle for ornithology enthusiasts. Offshore, dolphins and seals are a regular sight in this area. Portknockie has a variety of shops, including a general food store, public house, butcher’s shop and more besides. Beneath a dramatic setting of a railway viaduct is the town of Cullen, which is famous for it’s fish soup, known as “Cullen Skink” a delicious smoked haddock and potato dish. The North east of Scotland is a hidden gem just waiting to be discovered.

This cottage was much better than I expected. It was very comfortable, clean and much larger inside than appeared from the outside. Everyone we met was friendly. Verified by FlipKey, a TripAdvisor company |

This is a great place big enough to cater for 9 easily. I was on my own and oh the bliss of all that room to myself. It really was heaven in the Highlands for me. If you like it quiet with no... more |
Guestbook for 2290 - Keltie
I enjoyed the fact that the cottage had plenty of space; there were 7 of us staying and we did not feel at any time that we were tripping over each other. The village was fantastic and very friendly and there were some fantastic walks. The village is in good place for visiting other local attractions.

,The Location of the cottage was so scenic and peaceful. The hospitality of the staff at the local Seafield Inn was very endearing and the food and friendly welcome by staff and locals at the Three Kings Pub in nearby Cullen is a must!
