Scottish Highlands

Wild glens, island ferries and mountain trails that end, more often than not, at a pub with a fire going. Long summer days make it ideal for walking trips.

Why we love it

Few places change mood as fast as the Highlands. One day you're walking the shores of a loch, the next you're on a ferry to Skye or following a stretch of the West Highland Way.

When to go

May to September has the longest days and the best walking weather. June is often the driest month; late summer brings the heather out.

Good to know

  • Layers and a proper rain jacket, whatever the forecast says.
  • Single-track roads take longer than the map suggests.
  • Midges peak in July and August near still water.
