Getting there, where to visit, what to do
If you're relying on public transport, you'll find connections into to the Highlands from both Edinburgh and Glasgow, however, to make the most of this spectacular region, you'll want a car to explore. Part of the magic of the Highlands is simply driving through them, with endless country roads sweeping through its mountains and lochs. It's a real hot spot destination for driving and motorbike enthusiasts, with thousands embarking on the famous North Coast 500 route annually, which skirts the coastline of northern Scotland.
The Scottish Highlands are all about adventure, and there's no shortage of outdoor activities to enjoy. From mountain biking in Fort William to quad bike tours in Aviemore, it's the perfect place to try something new. If sightseeing is more your thing, book a steam train ride over the Glenfinnan Viaduct (the famous bridge featured in the Harry Potter films), pull in at Glencoe for the perfect Instagram snap or join the hunt for the mythical monster in Loch Ness.
If you want to take the Highlands at a more relaxed pace, you'll find spectacular beaches at Nairn and Embo, where you can whale and dolphin watch from the shore. Foodies will love the fresh seafood (the local lobster and mussels are a must) and quaint pubs dotted along Scotland's coastline, and no trip to Cairngorm National Park would be complete without visiting a whisky distillery for a tour and tasting.
