Live the high life...
Days spent exploring the breath-taking scenery and evenings relaxing around the log fire...
Boasting the title of "Outdoor Capital of the UK" the Highland area is a mecca for outdoor and extreme sports enthusiasts with everything from surfing, yachting, mountaineering, walking, whitewater rafting and diving to ice-climbing and skiing. Shooting and fishing are also world class and the Scots claim the invention of golf with several world championship courses.
If all that sounds a bit energetic, you could follow the whisky trail - there's plenty of comfort to be had from taking in the views before watching the glorious sunset from behind a glass of single malt beside a cosy log fire. Highland living is good for the soul.
The Highlands and Islands can also boast some of the brightest talents in music, literature, dance and the visual arts. Cultivated and supported within vibrant local communities, these talents can be enjoyed at many festivals and events, including the popular Highland Games.
