Go to: The Highlands

When everyone’s recovering in bed from one too many G&Ts, you’ll be found poring over the guide book and planning your next adventure.

Your dream spot? The Highlands.

Covering the north of Scotland, from Fort William to John O’Groats, the glorious Highlands is where snow-covered peaks tower into the sky and glassy lochs span for miles.

Here, single-lane roads weave through tiny, picturesque towns and quaint pubs welcome the weary traveller with a selection of locally-brewed delights. This is the Scotland you see in movies and books – and it’s every bit as beautiful as you would imagine.

Must-do stopovers include the waterfall-laden Glencoe Valley, where waterfalls tumble from the mountains. Further north, don’t miss the famous Jacobite Steam Train – perhaps better known as the Hogwarts Express – passing over the stunning 21-arched Glenfinnan Viaduct at 10.45am and 3pm each day.

Not far from the legendary Loch Ness, settle into an idyllic Eagle Bray log cabin to really absorb your remote surroundings. A 75-minute wildlife cruise along the Inner Moray Firth often sees otters, seals and dolphins. Daily trips leave from Inverness.

If you have extra time, consider island-hopping by ferry across the isles of Skye, Eigg and Rum.
