Scottish Highland cattle. Does anyone know how it is called. Anyway it is so cute and lovely 😍
Not every place has a unique view that is unforgettable, and Scotland is fortunate to be a place to be remembered and imagined. It can be used to describe Scotland. It is unique in the UK.
The natural scenery such as lakes, snow-capped mountains, grasslands, and oceans makes people feel immersed in the sky and the tragic and tragic, letting people fall for it.
Itinerary:
Edinburgh-Glasgow-Lomemount-Scottish Highlands (pathway)-Glenco Grand Canyon (via)-Three Sisters (pathway)-Nors Lake source (Fort Augustus , Augustusburg) - Inverness
along the A82 of Scotland's most beautiful scenic road, we came to the long-awaited Scottish Highlands. Passing through the quiet and wide Glencoe Gorge, it was once the location of famous movies such as "Brave Heart". We are all on the road to the vastness and tragic of the Scottish Highlands. Because the weather is fine, even if it is taken from the car. The scenery that comes out is also very beautiful. The beauty of the Scottish Highlands is not at one of the attractions, but on the way.

Loch Ness Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Loch Ness - Scotland, UK
Loch Ness, the legendary freshwater lake that you will mentioned when someone talks about Scotland. Located near to Inverness, it is known worldwide for the mystical creature - Loch Ness Monster (or known as Nessie). But beyond the folklore, Loch Ness offers breathtaking natural beauty & a captivating history.
Loch Ness stretches approximately 23 miles long & reaching a whooping 700 feet depth, bringing it to be the second largest Scottish loch by surface area. The surrounding landscape features rugged mountains, rolling hills & dense forest, while the deep, dark waters of the loch add an air mystery & intrigue to the experience.
The main attraction of Loch Ness would undoubtedly be the legend - Loch Ness Monster, but over the years there isn’t any scientific or actual sighting of the creature.
In summary, Loch Ness is not only a place shrouded in myth & legend, but also a stunning natural wonder for you to admire the scenic beauty & historical treasures nearby. I’m sure you will enjoy your time here, and better keep an eye out for Loch Ness Monster when you’re there!
You can reach Loch Ness by car, bus, train or by joining day tours. It’s approximately 13 miles from Inverness & there are regular bus services from Inverness too!

The Scottish highlands 🏔️
#celebratewithtrip
These are my *MUST SEE* spots in the Scottish highlands
Starting with the three sisters of Glencoe:
The view alone is absolutely worth going there!
We walked trough the area for over 3 hours and it was the most amazing thing!
Fort William:
It’s very close to the three sisters, so it definitely makes sense to go there afterwards. We stopped there for a little snack and coffee break and we discovered a great little café called the wildcat. Definitely a must go to cafe!!
The Isle of Sky:
You should consider checking out this island for at least 2-3 days! There are so many great mountains to climb and the view from up there can’t be described in words!!
Isle of Arran:
Very small Island, but so worth it!! I’ll definitely come back there!!
Loch Ness and Inverness:
Inverness is a must Stop for all Outlander Fans! and for all mystery fans - check out if you can spot Nessi!
We went there by bus, but I’d definitely recommend renting a car for this whole trip, because you can see a lot more and are free to stop when- and wherever you want!
bonus tip: stop at the Harry Potter bridge and watch the train pass by!

Urquhart Castle Inverness, Highlands, Scotland.
An amazing castle with a great and interesting history. I went during the fort's opening hours and was almost alone in the castle. Whether the weather is clear or cloudy, the scenery is really great, and I definitely recommend it!
A wonderful place to stop along the ramparts to experience the medieval era. The castle has a fantastic view of the loch and is quite nice. There are many stairs to climb to walk around the castle, but it's worth it. There are also nice souvenir shops, clean toilet facilities, and a nice cafe in the area. We paid 14 pounds per adult for entry to the castle. There is plenty of parking space outside the attraction.
The clouds are barely hanging over the water, and the ruins stand between the emerald forests and the wildflower meadows. The view of the loch is perfect. Sit and marvel if there aren't too many tourists. It's a destination you must stop at if you're passing by.
An amazing historic castle in the Loch Ness region. Most aspects of the castle ruins are detailed on information boards. There are a few free guided tours, but I cannot attest to their quality as we chose not to join them. Unfortunately, the gift shop and cinema were closed. It's 1 pound for Young Scot cardholders! I would definitely recommend it to anyone traveling through the Highlands.
The tour guides around are very friendly. They embrace the history and bring it to life, and you will be informed and appreciative.
Urquahart Castle - Scotland
This is a castle known as A castle for all seasons. During the Christmas period in the UK, the little human had no preconceptions and was able to step into it and be intoxicated by the scenery. Such a wonderful thing happened naturally with great luck.
From the visitor center upstairs and downstairs, near the entrance, the little human's eyes were fixed. What followed was an indescribable brilliant and open mood. Yes, just as these pictures show, the little human witnessed the irregularly shaped free clouds that make up the fairyland, the light blue cold and silent deep lake water, the large green grassland that humans have no heart to trample on, and the fortress that can glimpse the traces of history due to half damage...
This is one of the most beautiful sceneries that the little human was fortunate to see in Scotland, and only used reckless running to express the mood of being intoxicated by this scene and this situation
