whole day
After breakfast, drive north into the open and beautiful Scottish Highlands.
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.
Ben Nevis Mountain
Ben Nevis is the highest peak in the British Isles of Great Britain, at 1,343 metres above sea level at the north-eastern end of the Bay of Lorne in western Scotland. The summit is covered with snow all year round, and along the way you can enjoy the unique beauty of the Scottish Highlands lochs and mountains.
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.
Fort William
Situated on the border between the Highlands and the Lowlands, Fort William is a major town on the Scottish Highland Tourist Route. The town has a population of around 10,000 but is the largest town in Scotland after Inverness. Fort William is a quiet and peaceful town with beautiful scenery: with its backdrop of Scotland"s highest peak, the Ben Nevis, and its close proximity to the Great Glen of Nevis, it is the perfect place to experience nature, with its mountains, water, trees, flowers and birds. In addition, the town near one of the best ski slopes in Scotland, is a paradise for skiers; not far from the forest, but also attracts many mountain bikers.
