Beyond Inverness and the Great Glen, Scotland
stretches away in a spectacular fusion of
wooded glens, sweeping moors, rugged coasts,
towering mountains and welcoming villages.
An area that includes both the rich farmland
of the Black Isle and the precipitous sea
cliffs of Cape Wrath; the traditional crofting
communities of North West Sutherland and
the busy towns of Easter Ross; the historic
fishing villages of Caithness and the wooded
straths of Mid Ross; the popular beaches
of East Sutherland and the majestic, beautiful
mountains of Wester Ross.
Caithness is famous for the holiday home
of the late Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother
– the Castle of Mey. Gifted to the
people of Caithness, and now open to the
public. Caithness is also renowned for its
many prehistoric assets – including
the Neolithic Grey Cairns of Camster. Other
attractions include superb angling, on rivers
such as Thurso and Lochs such as Watten.
If you want to make the most of your holiday,
then Inverness is the place for you. For
a holiday here, in the heart of the Highlands,
means no more arguments over whether it
is going to be a romantic break or an activity
holiday; no more having to choose between
going to the mountains or going to the beach;
and no more sacrificing on family fun for
the sake of a little refined culture. Because
in and around the Highland Capital you can
have it all - and then some.
You can play a round of golf on the championship
course at Nairn, the venue for the 1999
Walker Cup, or on any one of a number other
excellent courses. You can watch the dolphins
leap beneath the Kessock Bridge or look
for something a little larger on a cruise
up the Caledonian Canal to mysterious Loch
Ness. You can enjoy traditional music and
excellent drama, for example during the
Highland Festival, or you can go treasure
hunting in numerous fine antique shops.
You can survive the Cyclone - one of three
flumes at Inverness Aqua dome - or you can
silently soak up the history that haunts
the battlefield of Culloden.
In Sutherland you will find fantastic scenery,
the complex geology of Knockan Crag attracts
geologists from around the world and further
north Assynt, with its magnificent mountains,
such as Suilven and Quinag, is a pleasure
for hillwalkers.
