UK - Scottish Highlands & Islands (23) More files...
Rugged, romantic and rare - Scotland's Highlands and Islands are one of Europe's last great wilderness areas. Stunning and dramatic scenery boasts Britain's highest peaks, world-famous lochs, ancient mountain massifs and the tranquil islands of Skye and the Hebrides.

The remote Highlands are sparsely populated except for the magnificent wildlife inhabiting the region, among the best in Britain. A rich cultural and historical background adds to the charm of the breathtakingly varied countryside.
