Skye is the largest inner isle in Scotland. It is popular with nature lovers for its romantic mountain scenery. The island has breath-taking scenery including valleys, waterfalls and caves. Other places to visit are the atmospheric ruins of an abbey, carved stone memorial, and Scotland’s Oldest Christian Cemetery.

Inverness

From Glasgow, you will come to see the stunning highlands of the city of Inverness. While driving around Inverness you will see the most incredible landscapes of Scotland. Tour Inverness Castle, visit Culloden Battlefield, and Inverness Cathedral, which offers grand architectural structures set on the edge of the river.

The Hebrides for beaches

Hebrides offers golden sands, blue water and stunning mountains where you can have picnics, ride a bike and roam around Lewis to Harris and visit Black Houses. Wild horses also roam around the beach too. Don’t forget to try the local delicacy - Charles MacLeod Black Pudding.

Scotland is not just about highland heritage. Scotland is also known for its high-quality food and beverages. From mouth-watering steaks to the most renowned seafood, Scotland produces some of the best natural products in the world.
