The highlands are located in the far north of Scotland and are bisected by the fault of Glen More known for its Caledonian Canal and Loch Ness. The region is famous for its heather-covered hills in the spring, its ferns, its castles and legends, its lakes, fjords (west) valleys and dark colors but attractive. The massive highlands is an ancient volcanic massif, eroded by glaciers that have given their present forms. The country is wet, damp due to the Atlantic Ocean and mountains. This moisture has led to the creation of wetlands where peat expands to contribute to the richness in species, especially birds.

Visit Highland
Landside, short passage from Inverness, Highland capital required. Then must pass by Loch Ness. For those who have a little time a little cruise on the Caledonian Canal is a delight. For walkers and lovers of mountain scenery, stroll by the Ben Nevis, the highest peak in the United Kingdom. Of course not miss the castle, there are many, including more than 130 much in the Highlands. A passage in the north, is still assessing advantage of the wilderness and power elements. So visit the Hebrides?

Curiosity: Highland cow
The Highland cow breed is a cow which is very rustic typical! You may be the opportunity to cross at the bend of a hill. It looks like a fantastic film.
