Scottish Highlands
There is a large fault on the Scottish landscape, and the area to the west and north of the large fault is high. The Highlands are sparsely populated, different from England, where the scenery is mostly idyllic and soft, the Scottish Highlands are cool and rugged, mostly hills, glens and lochs. The entire Highland area is large, almost half the size of the whole of Scotland. The famous islands of the sky, Loch Ness, Ben Nevis - the highest peak in Britain, and Glencoe Gorge all belong to this area.
Europe"s most beautiful scenic road, the A82
Some tourists describe the A82 as the most beautiful scenic road in the world, it"s no exaggeration to call it the most beautiful scenic road in Europe. It was the setting for the film "SKYFALL", and from the western shore of Loch Lomond, you"ll travel north on the A82 as you make your way through the cool highland mountains. From the western shore of Loch Lomond you head north on the A82, gradually penetrating into the cool highland mountains. Here you will find ravines and gullies, often with glacier-cut bays or lakes. The weather in the highlands is unpredictable, with dark clouds covering the low peaks and moisture from the Atlantic Ocean pouring from the tops of the peaks in torrents of water. There are few tall trees on either side of the A82 due to the constant low temperatures and the erosion of the water. However, after a sharp bend at Loch Tulla, a large patch of dense woodland appears on the left - the property of the family of Ian Fleming, the original author of James Bond.
Loch Lomond
Loch Lomond is Scotland"s largest loch in the UK, located in the Trossachs National Park in the southern Scottish Highlands, 27 kilometres northwest of Glasgow. The town of Luss is located on the western shore of Loch Lomond, with more than 20 families. The stone houses that have remained unchanged since the 18th century, visitors come and go, but the town is frozen in time by the loch.
Glencoe Canyon & Three Sisters Mountain
Glencoe Gorge and the Three Sisters Mountains make up the A82, Britain"s most beautiful highway, and the chase scene in Skyfall was filmed on the A82 next to the Highlands. The hills and fields of the highlands are full of romantic, rugged and solitary natural beauty, epic in its grandeur. The waters of the Highlands are so rich and clean that you"ll be jealous, and Britain"s highest peak, the Ben Nevis, is covered in clouds and mist.
Loch Ness
The mysterious Loch Ness, Britain"s third largest freshwater lake, is famous for its myriad of snake-necked, dragon-like monster sightings. Especially since the opening of the Loch Ness Coastal Road, more reports of alleged Loch Ness monster sightings have emerged. As for the possibility of the monster"s existence, it may be a long-extinct snake necked dragon living out its remaining days alone. With an average depth of more than 200 metres and a maximum depth of more than 300 metres, Loch Ness is said to be deep enough to stay frozen all year round in the frigid Scottish Highlands.
Glenfinnan Viaduct
The scene in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets where the Hogwarts Express and the flying blue Ford crosses the Western Highlands and flies over the Glenfinnan Viaduct was filmed at the viaduct and is a classic postcard scene. If you"re lucky, you can also see the classic scene of the steam train passing over the viaduct. Nearby is the beautiful Loch Shiel.
