A guide for those planning a trip to Scotland and looking for Isle of Skye and Scottish Highlands itinerary ideas. Spectacular landscapes, castles, mysterious lochs, waterfalls, tasty seafood dinners, and Highland coos are a few of the many treasured memories associated with our Scottish Highlands itinerary. The Highlands make up the north western part of Scotland, and designate a primarily historical divide with the Lowlands area where there were once much larger cultural and language divides. Although a huge land area, the Highlands and the northern islands of Scotland are sparsely populated, primarily rural, rugged, and full of biodiversity. This area is perfect for those looking for natural beauty and a sense of peace. We did this first trip to the Highlands and Isle of Skye with Edinburgh-based small tour operator Rabbie's Travel, and we'll share our own trip experiences and lots of photos on that tour! We'll also provide the general Scottish Highlands itinerary that we followed for those who may be thinking of putting together their own independent Scotland trip itinerary.
