=== Vacation in the Highlands === An accommodation in the Highlands of Scotland offers a unique opportunity to enjoy the breathtaking landscapes of one of Scotland’s most beautiful areas. The region’s name is the designation for the whole north of the country. During your Highland vacation, use the opportunity to climb Ben Nevis, the highest peak in Great Britain. From above you have an impressive view over the awe-inspiring Highland countryside. With luck you can even make out your Highlands vacation home. Hikers and nature lovers will have a lot to see during a stay in the Highlands, and can enjoy a wonderful active vacation. Climb the mountains, hike through the countryside and discover the many picturesque villages. You don’t always have to take meals in Highland lodgings – if you are daring, try a regional specialty such as haggis, and quaff a refreshing ale at a local pub. Get to know the locals and learn more about Scottish traditions. These have been particularly well preserved here, where English influence is not so intrusive. There are several traditional clans, and best of all, most Scottish whisky is distilled in the Highlands. Distilleries can be found on the coast as well as on the lakes, which one simply must visit.
