Here, Scotland found the origins that made it what it is today, including its national identity and religious background, both of which are the defining elements of its history.
These areas of Scotland are utterly atmospheric, and there is so much to enjoy, from the stunning scenery that surrounds local areas and nature’s transition from the subtle glory of the Lowlands to the admirable terrain of the Highlands.
Some of the greatest legends have walked routes through these lands, including St Columba and even Mary, Queen of Scots. Now, you can have the opportunity yourself to follow in their footsteps by replicating the routes that they once took.
The raw and authentic wildlife can be hard to find anywhere else, and your journey can take you to eagles, ospreys, wildcats and exquisite stags in their natural habitat, where they belong. A whale and a dolphin could be spotted in the glorious seas that surround you too and at night you can enjoy the sheer pleasure of a get together with the locals to enjoy folk music, or a smorgasbord of local cuisine at an event.
The best writers have found inspiration in the Scottish hills, such as the prolific poet Sir Walter Scott, a man who gained an infatuation with the hills. One of his most successful works spoke of the many idyllic towns in Scotland and their appeal to visitors from all walks of life:
'From Kintyre to Killin and Tobermory to Tillicoultry, an open invitation awaits you in these heartlands of Scotland.'
The same holds true today as it did in Scott's time.
