The Isle of Skye is a highly popular destination that, while technically an island, is often lumped into the Highlands. It is accessible by ferry from both the mainland and from the Outer Hebrides or by car from Kyle of Lochalsh.
Glencoe, Scotland may be the Highlands most famous glen. It is most well known for the 1692 massacre of Clan MacDonald, but today is a popular hiking destination. In today’s post, I’ll explore this region and share a few photos (taken by me back when I was an exchange student!).
This week’s focus is all about the Scottish Highlands, a destination long romanticised and made popular in modern culture by shows/movies like Brigadoon, Outlander, Highlander, and Braveheart.
