Publisher's Synopsis
The Highlands of Scotland is a spectacularly beautiful, awe-inspiring landscape. It is widely perceived as a region of rugged mountains, dark lochs and valleys, windswept moors, rushing rivers and remote forests, circled by eagles and inhabited by isolated human settlements and wildlife of all kinds. It is Europe's last wilderness. Much of this vision is certainly ture, which is why the region attracts so many visitors and tourists, keen to visit nature at its most untamed. However, what is rarely appreciated as its diversity - in physical, cultural and economic terms - which quickly becomes evident to visitors in this north-western corner of Britain. In this new guide to the region, two native Highlanders present their selection of 25 areas, in order to more fully understand the rich variety which the Highlands has to offer the traveller.
