Highlands and Skye
The Highlands and Skye cover an extensive area of some of the most remote yet absolutely stunning wilderness in all of Scotland. This region includes the highest mountains, and the largest and deepest inland waters in Britain. The west coast landscapes and scenery will literally take your breath away.

This is one of the true remaining wildernesses in Europe, with its majestic mountains and breathtaking scenery. Explore the many Lochs, isolated beaches and wide open spaces that seem to go on forever. The Spey valley provides the visitor an opportunity to experience the original Caledonian pine forests (or oldest whisky, if you prefer!), while the Highlands convey a unique taste of the more traditional ways of Scottish life. Self-catering in the Highlands and Skye is a holiday experience like no other.
