For a real escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life, you can’t beat the Scottish Highlands and its breathtaking mountains, glens and lochs. Rent self catering accommodation in Fort Augustus to stay by Loch Ness and see if you can spot the elusive monster, or head to friendly Inverness for fine dining and the impressive Inverness Castle. Grantown on Spey offers several whisky distilleries, while skiing enthusiasts should rent a lodge in Aviemore and the Cairngorms. Keen walkers could try scaling Ben Nevis, Britain’s tallest mountain, in the Grampian Mountains. To make the most of your Scottish Highland holiday, rent a cosy cottage, log cabin or croft and enjoy lochside relaxation and perhaps some fishing in a stunning mountain environment.
