Welcome to the North of Scotland!

From the northern end of the mainland at John o' Groats south to Fort William
beyond maybe-monstrous
Loch Ness, from the fierce North Sea lining the eastern Aberdeenshire shore to
the convoluted Atlantic coastline of Wester Ross and the Isle of Skye, Northern
Scotland offers many of Scotland's great attractions set amid
ever-changing scenery. Northern Scotland isn't all remote highlands and islands.
Tucked amid the folds of the mountains and the inlets of the seas are dozens of
villages and towns worth discovery. At least one great town, the regional
capital of Inverness, qualifies as Britain's northernmost city, with much of its
original 17th century architecture lining the arrow-straight River Ness that
splits the town.

be pleasant and a nice change after London. The river is so clean and the
air so fresh."

In our customers' own words —
"The scenery is breathtakingly beautiful as are the wonderful stone houses.
When we departed we missed 'our' sheep, as the lambs there had cavorted all
around our cottage. The see two darling little lambs nursing their mother
and wagging their tails happily was sweet to watch."
