To provide you with a brief description of what you can do in the Highlands of Scotland would be near impossible, as the opportunities are endless. If you are looking for guided tours around the area, your best option would be to approach one of the Scottish highland hotels in the area.
Nevertheless, if you are the type that just wants to get out there on his own, braving nature, the highlands offer the perfect setting. Home to a quarter of a million people, this particular area of Scotland has been receiving an increase in attention over the past few years, as many tourists are finding unique methods of entertaining themselves on vacation. Sure, many of the surrounding cities and towns house your typical museums, cafes, and wonderful restaurants, but there is nothing quite like taking a hike through the highlands to fully appreciate what Scotland is all about.
I have visited this area on many occasions, since I have relatives there. Needless to say, they know the ins and outs of the areas, what trails are worthy of attention, and even little secret areas that are often neglected by tourists. Although your guide book will provide you with a general outline of what the area has to offer, nothing compares to getting out there and exploring it on your own. If you are looking to cover a lot of ground quickly, one of the many jogging paths may be your best option. If you are looking to appreciate nature as it was intended to be, a guided tour may be a better option for you. Either way, you have the ability to set your own pace.
Whether you find yourself staying in one of the surrounding hotels, a Central Glasgow hotel, or any of the other wonderful accommodations that Scotland offers, make sure that you set aside some time to visit the highlands. I am sure that it will leave you breathless.
