THE SCOTTISH HIGHLANDS

During my Coach tour around the UK, I also had the opportunity to drive through the Highlands which is a historic region of Scotland. The area is sometimes referred to as the "Scottish Highlands."

The area is very sparsely populated, with many mountain ranges dominating the region, and includes the highest mountain in the British Isles, Ben Nevis.

There is not much to write about it the pictures are self explaining. I had never seen such a beautiful and strange mountain region which seemed to be completely untouched by humans. Usually mountains look green because of the trees. In the Highlands it is different. There are not many trees, the mountains are covered with a green carpet, which sometimes even looks like the fake grass carpets you see around swimming pools or patios.

All pictures have been taken out of the bus. 



































and then we arrived at the end of the Highlands in Callander where we also stayed over night.







Slowly we went back to civilisation. One thing is for sure I will never forget this beautiful stunning landscape !
