Scottish Highlands and Islands
The Scottish Highlands and Islands area is one of the most scenic in Nothern
Europe, and includes the mountainous areas of North and West Scotland, covering
Stirling, Perth and Kinross and Aberdeen, as well as the Islands of Orkney,
Shetland and the Inner and Outer Hebrides. The Highlands area is distinct from
the Scottish Lowlands, having preserved Gaelic speech and customs long after the
anglicisation of the Lowlands. The City of Inverness is often regarded as the
Capital of the Highlands.Glasgow is the ideal base for a visit to the Highlands and Islands because
of its central location, and good air, rail and bus links to other parts of the
UK and abroad. Regular public transport services connect Glasgow to most towns
in the Highlands - for example, a train from Glasgow Queen Street to Inverness
takes approximately 3 hours.
The Sandyford Hotel offers information about travel from Glasgow to the
Highlands and Islands. For more information about what's on during your visit,
and travel details please look at the Visit Scotland website:
