Highlands

The Highlands of Scotland are probably among the most startling regions in the world. Pure, strong, powerful ... this harsh landscape is a paradise for hikers, from the Cairngorm Mountains to the wild cliffs of West Ross. Haunted castles line the mysterious lochs and misty moorlands, which have often served as a set for Hollywood movies (Highlander, Braveheart). Traditional haggis, whisky and bagpipes can often be found. An entire book would not be enough to describe the Highlands, which really must be visited to be understood ...

Took the Timberbush tour of the Highlands (the one day trip) and our tour guide Stephen was a little bit of an animal whisperer. The hairy coos seemed to know him well and came over our way for the food they knew he'd have for them.
