Mists rolling over cavernous Glens and Lochs, woolly mountain cattle grazing on rocky hillsides, castles of fame and tragedy towering over their surroundings, fireside whisky in warm pubs, and the haunting sounds of bagpipes drifting on the breeze. Scotland is at once romantic, wild, majestic, and characterised by those enterprising and fiercely independent people that Winston Churchill famously declared, “Of all the small nations of this earth, perhaps only the ancient Greeks surpass the Scots in their contribution to mankind.” Some of the most spectacular scenery and the UK’s highest mountains are to be found in Scotland, extending from the English borders, up through the Lowlands and the Highlands, to the Orkney and Shetland Islands.
