The Scottish Highlands, a rugged and enchanting region in the north of Scotland, is renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, rich history, and traditional culture. Towering mountains, deep glens, and sparkling lochs characterize this wild and untamed terrain, offering endless opportunities for outdoor exploration and adventure. Visitors can embark on scenic drives along the North Coast 500 route, hike through the majestic peaks of Ben Nevis or the Cairngorms, and cruise the mysterious waters of Loch Ness in search of the legendary monster. The Highlands are also steeped in history, with ancient castles, clan battlegrounds, and archaeological sites scattered throughout the landscape, telling tales of Scotland's turbulent past.

Inverness - the Capital of the Highlands - is increasingly popular as a base for those visiting the Scottish Highlands.

It's your plan - without having to plan.

We visited Inverness in Scotland in January. We can verify everything you've suspected about windy and rainy Scotland, but in January it's even more fun because it's freezing too. On the plus side, we did have most of the tourist attractions to ourselves. However, we were not as keen to leave the comfort of our warm and dry Airbnb to go and venture out to see some of the natural landscapes.
