Parts of the Scottish Highlands can be explored on a day's outing from Culcreuch Castle Hotel......cattle permitting, that is!
This is how online information source "Wikipedia" describes the area......
"The Scottish Highlands (Scottish Gaelic: A' GhĂ idhealtachd, Scots: Hielans) include the rugged and mountainous regions of Scotland north and west of the Highland Boundary Fault, although the exact boundaries are not clearly defined, particularly to the east.
The Great Glen divides the Grampian Mountains to the southeast from the Northwest Highlands.
The Highlands of Scotland are popularly described as one of the most scenic regions of Europe. Many mountain ranges dominate the region, including the highest mountain in the British Isles, Ben Nevis.
Before the 19th century, the Highlands was home to a much larger population than today, but due to a combination of factors including the outlawing of the traditional Highland way of life following the Second Jacobite Rising, the infamous Highland Clearances, and mass migration to urban areas during the Industrial Revolution, the area is now one of the most sparsely populated in Europe.
The average population density in the Scottish Highlands and Islands is lower than that of Sweden, Norway, Papua New Guinea and Argentina.
