Scottish Highlands
From World travel guide
The Scottish Highlands is the rugged northern and north-western portion of Scotland, one of the four countries that make up the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. This is the Scotland conjured up by visions of tartan, kilts, Bonnie Prince Charlie and all.

Get in
By plane
The main airport serving the Highland region is Inverness Airport [1], with scheduled flights to destinations around Scotland and the United Kingdom.
Get around
Car
Many of the roads, especially in the more remote areas of the North West are single track with passing places. Driving there is a pleasure.
Hitchhiking
Hitchhiking works great in the Highlands except for two things: the roads are quite sparse in places and even if you find a road there is hardly any traffic.
