Scotland’s North Highlands Slow Travel Guide
Scotland’s North Highlands Slow Travel Guide is the most comprehensive guide to this increasingly popular region.
There are few places in the UK as remote and wild as North West Scotland. Even in the height of summer it’s possible to drive (or walk) for miles without meeting another person. There’s also a huge diversity of landscapes, from the comparatively gentle and accessible east coast to the vast Flow Country, the largest expanse of blanket bog in Europe. The coast north of here has a stark emptiness to it, with craggy peninsulas punctuated by coves of golden sand, while the west coast is characterised by its deep sea lochs and looming peaks.
Bradt’s guide provides clear, thorough information and advice for your visit, with plenty to appeal to walkers/hikers, wildlife enthusiasts, history lovers, campers, surfers and kayakers. Points of interest abound, whether it’s the site of the last legal execution of a witch at Dornoch, the subtropical flora of Inverewe Gardens, or Europe’s largest one-day sheep sale, held annually in Lairg.
Wherever you plan to roam, this guide is the perfect aide and companion for your trip.
