Attractions and sights
-
A real picture postcard castle, it sits on its own small island about 50m into Loch Duich, reached by crossing a stone bridge
-
The misty isle, Skye is full of romance and myth, lush gardens and steep, magnetic mountains (a compass is useless in the Cuillin Mountains). It ranks near the top of most visitors' must-see lists. Skye is dramatic, mysterious, and mountainous, an island of sunsets that linger brilliantly until late at night, and of beautiful, magical mists.
-
Loch Ness, the home of the monster :-)
-
Loch Lomond is the largest loch in Scotland, the largest fresh water lake on the island of Great Britain and probably the most famous after Loch Ness. It is part of the Loch Lomond & the Trossachs National Park.

With staggering mountains, extensive coastline and beautiful sea lochs, it’s hardly surprising that this glorious corner of Scotland is a favourite of walkers.

Highlands is home to the world’s finest links courses. The undoubted star of the North is the magnificent Royal Dornoch course of which Tom Watson once said: “It’s the most fun I’ve ever had on a golf course.” Close by is the equally demanding Carnegie Club links at the exclusive Skibo Castle, while Nairn, which hosted the 1999 Walker Cup is a traditional Scottish links. There many more excellent golf courses in Scotland, beyond the Highlands.
