Top 10 Scenic Walking Areas in Scottish Highlands, Scotland
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.

What a lovely walk through a woodland trail from the Glenmore visitor centre along the Revoan Pass the the Green Loch. We met some local people who told us that the water colour is because the fairies wash their socks in the water in the evening. Magical place.

Our cruise ship docked at Invergordon as a gateway to Inverness. The ship provided a shuttle to Inverness, but it was an overcast, rainy day and we decided to take it easy and stay in Invergordon instead.The town is small and very quiet, but the collected murals are absolutely wonderful and we were extraordinarily pleased that we stayed. All the murals are great, but our personal favorite, shown here, depicts the Royal Hotel fire of 1973 (the mural was painted in 2007) which destroyed a local landmark and resulted in the loss of one life. The more we look at our photo of it, there more we love it. It is absolutely beautiful. If you are anywhere in the vicinity, don't miss it.

I have cycled on sections of the Speyside Way which is excellent. The signposting is great and the surfaces well maintained and good for cycling. The countryside is stunning.

When we arrive Inverness, it was raining. On our way to our B&B, we stop in the middle of the bridge for photo taking because of the beautiful views despite the rain. Do take a stroll across the bridge and along River Ness at any time of the day, it's beautiful and relaxing, and most importantly, it's FREE!
