Holidays in the West Highlands, Scotland

The ancient Caldeonian pinewood forest spreads for over thousands of miles across the Highlands, paths twisting and probably a grand mother's cabin at the end of an almost forgotten track. Away from these natural deciduous woodlands lies Ben Nevis, rising tall as the UK's tallest mountain and a challenge and a rewards to any mountaineer: the views of the Mull, Skye, Glencoe and the Cairngorms are spectacular. Then among the brisk waves lies the isle of Skye, meeting the sea with white beaches and back shores. On these isles lies Dunvegan Castle, the seat of the Clan Macleod, a place of myth and bloodshed long past. Rich in food as it is in heritage and dynamic landscapes, dotted throughout the region are local restaurants serving exquisite specialities: perfect to round off an active day. Below you can find our recommendations for accommodation and holidays:
