Area

Set half way between the east coast of Sutherland and Loch Shin, Highland Glen Lodges are amidst the beautiful highland countryside. Drive in any direction and you will find Scotland at its best. You are within an hour's drive of the west coast with its awe inspiring mountains, fabulous coves and bluff headlands.

Tour the north-west and see one of the remotest parts of Europe. Driving is hassle free - the only road rage is when a sheep won't get off the warm tarmac!

The north coast is sanctuary to millions of sea birds and has the highest sea cliffs in Britain. Take a boat trip from Kylesku to the highest waterfall in Britain - Eas Cullin and see seal pups on the islands in June.

Visit John O'Groats and maybe pop over to the Orkney Islands for a day's sightseeing. You can book a day trip which includes the boat fare and bus ticket.

On the east coast lie the cheery towns and villages where you will be assured of a warm Highland welcome in the craft and tea shops.

Come south towards Inverness where you can do some great shopping. On your way visit "Storehouse of Foulis" where you can have lunch, buy souvenirs and maybe see seals basking in the Cromarty Firth. You won't be far from Loch Ness with its elusive monster and Urquhart Castle - one of Scotland's fine ruins.
