"A Journey Back Through Time" Top 5 Page for this destination Highland by scottishvisitor

Highland Travel Guide: 1,650 reviews and 4,061 photos

After many years I finally re visited

The Clouds pass over The Nevis Range

The Highlands of Scotland is a place of great rugged beauty, a place where distant Islands appear and disappear from the horizon. A tantilizing landscape to test your patience, where mountains and hills stand majestically before you - then like the Islands great clouds close in and the Highlands retreat - stay a while - when the sun shines - even briefly - your senses will indeed be rewarded.

Here's Looking at Ewe

Pros and Cons

Pros:The most scenic part of Scotland
Cons:The Weather might just obscure your view
In a nutshell:Give it time Patience is a Virtue!!

Excellent Highland travel page with superb photographs. Loch Ness and Ben Nevis certainly look interesting to visit and explore and so are the suspention bridge and the castle. Thanks for the virtual tour. ~ho & pang

It really is a lovely area with so much greenery and monsters in the water, but harmless except for tourists.
