Highlands – Luxury

The Scottish Highlands are a special place, renowned not only for an unspoiled environment, but for a delightful combination of old and new. Postcard perfect images of the Highlands include its dramatic lochs and majestic mountains (Ben Nevis is Britain's tallest). Today's Scottish culture embraces not just heritage, but modern arts and music, environment, fashion, and cuisine.

Our Highlands accommodation consists of luxury homes, apartments, cabins and bungalows that give you and your travelling party a spacious, comfortable place to kick back and enjoy your down time during your holiday to this scenic wonderland. We offer premiere amenities at many of our locations, including a relaxing Jacuzzi hot tub, a rejuvenating sauna, a private barbecue area for casual dining, and first-class maid service for only a modest fee.

The Highlands offer a bevy of fun and interesting attractions. The Cromarty Courthouse Museum is the recipient of 13 awards. Ecoventures, also an award winner, is a great opportunity to spot the globe's northernmost colony of Bottlenose Dolphins. Hugh Miller's Cottage, a National Trust for Scotland Museum, is the birth home of the renowned geologist and theologian. The Poyntzfield Herb Nursery sells more than 400 medicinal and culinary herbs. You can learn to play the traditional Scottish harp at Ardival Harps Holidays, and learn about northern Scotland's early inhabitants at the Groam House Museum. The historic Nigg Old Church is a fine specimen of a Scottish parish church, and then there are the world famous Highland Games.

Highland leisure activities include angling, golf, Highland's own sport of Shinty, and mountain biking, for which you can sign up with the Highland Mountain Biking Association and traverse the Learnie Trail.

The Highlands' diverse climate results in an array of habitats, and the relatively scarce population makes it one of Britain's, even Europe's, premiere wildlife habitats. You can hire a rowboat for a peaceful afternoon and have a great chance of being eye to eye with the endearing otter. Walk the mountainous countryside and you may very well be honoured with a sighting of a golden eagle.

Gastronomical delights here include traditional foods like venison, salmon and haggis, as well as smoked salmon, game soup, Buckie crab, Highland cheeses and edible fungi, oatcakes, homemade pies, and buttery shortbread. Culinary events include the Talisker Skye and Lochalsh Food and Drink Festival and the Highland Feast, as well as Ullapool's Fish Week. You can also tour whisky distilleries and traditional breweries.
