Highlands Scotland

As well as being a wonderful holiday destination the Highlands are home to a quarter of a million people living in communities spread throughout the area. From the vibrant city of Inverness to remote crofting communities and sparsely populated islands.

What these communities do have in common and something that is particularly apparent to visitors is that they are all part of an area which is culturally distinct – influenced by our often violent history, a strong cultural heritage, and the gaelic language.

The natural world is also different – the varied climate leads to a wide range of habitats and the relatively sparse population makes this the premier area in Britain, if not Europe for wildlife.
