Ancient forests, tumbling rivers, snow covered ski slopes at Glencoe or Aviemore, sweeping moorland to the rugged coastline. There is something for everyone, whether you are anticipating enjoying mile upon mile of sandy shore, dolphin watching from Kessock Bridge, or perhaps something a little larger - a sighting of Nessie maybe, from Urquhart Castle, Loch Ness. For the historian soak up the history of Culloden, the Massacre of Glencoe or visit the Commando Memorial at Spean Bridge. There is a wealth of interesting pursuits, such as the Whisky Distilleries or for the wildlife enthusiast, The Cairngorms National Park, covering 3,800 sq km, which is the largest National Park in the UK and among the largest in Europe.
