Many people visit the Highlands each year for a break and this kind of trip is likely to involve plenty of climbing, hill walking and mountaineering.

Whiskey fans can go on the Malt Whiskey trail, where you discover seven working distilleries and undertake nosing and tasting sessions. There are plenty of B&B’s hostels and hotels to choose between too, depending on the accommodation you’re looking for.

There are also farmers markets, bars, pubs and seafood restaurants, and it’s an ideal break for adventurers who want to get a taste of the ‘real Scotland’. Self-catering log cabins can give you more freedom and flexibility, and it’s a nice choice if you’re looking for a romantic break with your partner.
