Things to do in Scottish Highlands, Scotland: The Best Geologic Formations
The moody, romantic Scottish Highlands start at Loch Lomond just north of Glasgow. Comprising a slew of mountain ranges, this sparsely populated land is best seen by train on the West Highland Line. Mountains, lochs, bright heather and rhododendrons give way to white sand beaches and rugged coves as the train nears Mallaig. For a more active take on the region, hike the West Highland Way or visit the Trossachs National Park. Ben Nevis, a popular climbing spot, looms over the town of Fort William.

We took the Cape Wrath Ferry from Keoldale Pier Sept 16th. I enjoyed the 11 mile, 50 minute bus ride to Cape Wrath. Our driver had so many amazing stories and observations to share as did our Ferryman who safely navigated the short distance across the Kyle of Durness. The Ozone Cafe was a welcome stop for tea, few souvenirs and friendly chat with John, the owner. The history and beauty of the location was frankly awe inspiring. I would not hesitate to recommend this visit and was so glad that we had good weather and there was room for us on the ferry and bus. We checked out the pier from Durness the night before to confirm when the next ferry would be leaving and that it would not be closed due to MOD activities. We took rain gear just in case and were so happy to be travelling that day with like minded travellers from all over the world who all seemed to enjoy the whole experience as much as we did.

We visited the geopark twice and enjoyed the visitor centre and walks at Knockan Crag. The information is well put together and the walks well marked and sensibly graded.

Loch Morar is the deepest loch in Scotland & rumour has it Morag the loch monster lives there. She is the sister of the Loch Ness monster. The loch has some lovely walks around its perimeter and above in the mountains. I have fished the loch on many occasions both off the shore and from my boat. You do need to get a permit before fishing. A really nice place.
8. The Old Man of Stoer

Parking at the lighthouse gives you the best route to the Old Man it’s self. The route takes you along the cliffs and the terrain is quite boggy and rough at points so walking boots are essential. You can see the Old Man in about 45 minutes and it takes another 20/25 to get right round to him. After, you can walk up to the cairn and then there is a trail back. Not necessarily easier or quicker than the cliff but potentially drier.
